		<title>15 Years is a Long Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Depending on who you ask MAME was born either on the 5th Feb 1997 with the release of Mame 0.1 or slightly before that in the form of Nicola&#8217;s MultiPac releases which were the basis of that release (even today you can see some remnants of how they grew to become MAME, for example the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Integrating FLAC isn&#8217;t the only thing I&#8217;ve been working on lately. After the initial work on FLAC (prior to the CHD bit) I decided to integrate some proper JPEG decoding libraries into MAME. Why? Well, there is one game, which has been running in MAME for a while which actually uses JPEG decoder chips on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taking the FLAC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the criticisms often made of MAME / MESS&#8217;s CHD format is that it doesn&#8217;t actually provide very efficient compression, especially when it comes to CD AUDIO data. I&#8217;ve had a number of people ask me if I can look into improving this, especially when you consider that in with the current format a [...]]]></description>

		<title>UltimateMAME 0.144u4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[UltimateMAME This one is actually just based off MESS SVN revision 13871, so I&#8217;m not 100% sure which MAME version it&#8217;s synced to, but it&#8217;s post 0.144u4 for sure. The process is simpler than it&#8217;s ever been right now, requiring minimal changes, in essence just a tool to combine the lists, and a new build [...]]]></description>

		<title>Positive MAME memories of 2011?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, we&#8217;re a third of the way through December now, which means the close of another year is drawing near and I was wondering what positive memories people have of MAME progress in 2011. For me the year started out with a bang, there was a flurry of activity surrounding the Seibu COP emulation, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>C-C-C-C-Combo &#8230; Ultimate MAME 0.144u1  (MameComplete?)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ultimate MAME 0.144u1 The main official complaint with regards my previous &#8216;UltimateMAME&#8217; proof of concept seemed to be the merging of everything into the single MAME tree. While I personally consider this an advantage (less places to look = less confusion) sometimes compromises have to be made in order to get things accepted officially. Therefore, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Immediate Plans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After leaving the Fruit Machine emulation for a bit while 0.144 was put out the door I think it&#8217;s about due time I got back to looking at that. I&#8217;m effectively down a man on that front tho, because James who was providing some assistance is currently out of action due to real life goings [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ultimate MAME 0.144a</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wasn&#8217;t expecting quite such a positive response from the initial &#8216;Ultimate MAME&#8217; post, but it seems like a decent number of people really like the single binary concept. Anyway, there were a couple of issues with the MESS 0.144 source on which it was based, these have since been resolved, as well as several [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ultimate MAME 0.144</title>
		<description><![CDATA[MESS is MAME, I&#8217;ve made this point before. The functionality found in MESS, the ability to run console / computer based software can easily be added to MAME. There has been talk of doing this officially for a while now, but every attempt is met by too many opinions, too many people trying to overcomplicate [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moving the Goalposts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While the biggest talking point of 0.144 might be the decision to not include the driver for the Cave SH3 based hardware after what can only be described as a polite request from Cave to not include it just yet this is not something which bothers me especially. As a result of the work on [...]]]></description>
