MAME 0.247 Released!

From mamedev.org:

With a change of season just around the corner, it’s time to unveil MAME 0.247! This is a huge release, and should have something for everyone!

Newly added systems, and systems promoted to working, include:

• The M&D Monon Color – a low-cost Chinese hand-held console. This required finding an exploit to extract the CPU’s internal ROM as audio. Said CPU is a high-performance derivative of Intel’s MCS-51 architecture.
• A prototype version of Tecmo’s Super Pinball Action that used separate screens for the simulated backglass and playfield. This version was presumably poorly received due to the need for an expensive dedicated cabinet.
• An initial driver for second-generation Sony NEWS workstations based on MIPS processors. This one has been a long time coming, with a lot of preparatory work, but it’s finally here!
• The Dracula and Game Pachinko – two Tsukuda hand-held games with vacuum fluorescent displays.
• Micom Mahjong – an example of an early CPU-based TV game, and possibly the first dedicated electronic mahjong system.
• Three new Casio synthesisers.
• Several Impera Magic Card games. This one’s also been a while coming, requiring several new devices to be emulated.
• A few Astro Corp. gambling games, including Dino Dino, Magic Bomb, Stone Age, and Zoo.
• Some previously missing NO CD versions of Capcom’s Red Earth.
