This is a ʽTinyʼ MAME build containing the CDi code from MESS as it is on 28th October 2009using a fixed gamelist like MAME.
Most games will lockup or crash at some point due to imperfectons in the emulation, a couple
of them do however play well.
Hotel Mario, The Apprentice (no sound), Dimos Quest, Alien Gate, Jokers Wild, Tetris and a
number of others seem to be perfectly playable.
Digital Video titles wonʼt work because MESS doesnʼt emulate the MPEG card.
For most games only one revision has been added for testing purposes, while multiple revisions
exist in the TOSEC dats. Non-games havenʼt been added at all for now.
I havenʼt marked games as working / not working because most of them havenʼt been tested far
enough to make a good judgement on that, the main guarantee this tiny build gives however
is that if your CHDs match the expected ones, youʼre getting the same results as everybody
else; something which is hard to know in MESS which lacks any kind of fixed set list.
I (Haze) take no credit for the work here, Iʼve just been converting images and testing them.
The driver is mostly by ʽJust Desserts / Harmonyʼ and progress can be followed at the MESS
forums.
The CHDs used by this should be compatible with future versions of MESS.
The package is provided as a ʽtinyʼ package which extracts over a full MAME source.
Have fun, I donʼt personally want any bug reports for this, youʼre on your own ;-)
