MAME 0.288

Tuesday, 16th June 2026

Wow! That was something, but we're finally there!

Packages for MAME 0.288 are now ready.

There have been some upstream changes that could only be addressed by removing /etc/mame and making the .mame/ directory mandatory. Don't worry, though—you shouldn't notice any difference, as a script has been added to create .mame/ automatically if it doesn't already exist.

Since the previous MAME release, Ubuntu 26.04 "Resolute Raccoon" has become the default version, so support for it has been added alongside the existing packages for Ubuntu Questing 25.10, Noble 24.04, and Jammy 22.04.

There have also been a number of minor changes; please check the MAME website for the full details.

That's all for now. Have fun with MAME!

Spring cleaning

Friday, 12th June 2026

Work is in progress on MAME 0.288 due to a couple of changes that still need addressing.

Meanwhile, I had to make room in my PPA to get Launchpad to accept new builds. Packages are still available for Ubuntu Questing 25.10, Noble 24.04, Jammy 22.04 and Focal 20.04 — sadly, anything else had to be dropped.

Things are on their way, stay tuned!

MAME 0.287

Saturday, 11th April 2026

Mame 0.287 is packaged and ready to download for Questing 25.10, Noble 24.04 and Jammy 22.04—be sure to grab the set which is right for you!

Enjoy!

MAME 0.286

Monday, 2nd March 2026

Are you ready to download Mame latest release for Ubuntu Questing 25.10, Noble 24.04 or Jammy 22.04?

Yes! It's waiting for you just now! Be sure to grab the right packages for your distro and enjoy!

MAME 0.285

Sunday, 8th February 2026

It’s time for a brand-new MAME release—and yes, it’s packaging time!

You may have noticed some issues with the site recently—sorry about that. Everything is fixed now and running smoothly again. Also, please note that support for Ubuntu Plucky 25.04 has been removed from Launchpad, so there will be no more builds for it.

So don’t wait any longer! Grab your favourite flavour—Ubuntu Questing 24.10, Ubuntu Noble 24.04, or Ubuntu Jammy 22.04—and dive into MAME!
