In some cases, software that would previously hang when playing sounds now works properly. This month, you may notice better sampled sound playback when using the Sound Blaster ISA card.

Work is continuing on various PC video and sound cards, allowing software that uses more of their advanced features to run. The ZX Spectrum family has been further filled out with another enhanced clone from Scorpion, Ltd. This month, the Personal IRIS 4D family have been promoted to working. Moving on to other computers, Silicon Graphics workstation support is still making progress. There are also a few Apple III fixes in there.

Support for early CD-ROM drives has been improved, allowing early multimedia software for the Apple II and Macintosh to run. For earlier Macintosh computers, there are two new floppy disk software lists: one for original dumps and one containing low-impact cracks. Several low-cost Macintosh computers with 68040 CPUs are now supported, and there are fixes for some issues with sound playback. Yes, it’s time for another release: MAME 0.258! It’s been another month of exciting Apple updates.
