mame: update to 0.204.

MAME 0.204

28 Nov 2018

After a busy four weeks, we窶决e ready to present the hotly-anticipated
MAME 0.204 release. The most exciting stuff this month is definitely
on the computer emulation side. We窶况e added dozens of working
cartridges to the BBC ROM software list, and ROMs required by
expansion devices are handled more elegantly. Our HP9000/300 series
emulation just keeps getting better: it窶冱 now possible to install
and use HP-UX 9, with X11 and the Vue desktop environment on an
emulated HP9000/370 with accelerated window drawing and Ethernet
networking support. There窶冱 also been some progress on the road to
Silicon Graphics workstation emulation. On top of that, we窶决e seeing
preliminary emulation of standalone X Window System terminals.

Thanks to MAME窶冱 modular, device-oriented architecture, improvements
for one machine go on to benefit other machines using similar
hardware. The Motorola 68k memory management unit improvements that
allow HP-UX to run on the HP9000/300 series will also benefit Mac,
NeXT and early Sun systems. The same AMD LANCE Ethernet controller
is used in HP and Sun workstations, X11 terminals, the Amiga A2065
Zorro card, and numerous applications. This gives us a wealth of
test cases, and a virtuous cycle where progress on one system can
lead to a breakthrough on another.

With this release, all Tiger game.com games are fully playable.
Two more Nintendo Game & Watch titles, Climber and Tropical Fish,
have been emulated. XaviX-based TV game emulation continues to
progress steadily: numerous e-kara karaoke cartridges have been
dumped, preliminary sound output emulation has been implemented
(sorry, no microphone support yet, but you can hear the tunes),
and more systems have inputs connected.

Graphical effects in the bootleg arcade driving game Blomby Car
have been improved, and bad dumps of graphics ROMs for Abnormal
Check and the Korean version of Prehistoric Isle have been replaced.
As always, you窶冤l enjoy support for more alternate versions of
arcade games (including a version of Pinball Action that shows
scores on external LED displays), bug fixes, and general emulation
improvements.
