Just a small heads up to my gaming, arcade and MAME friends that I’m now offering up a version of MAME that supports Mac OS X on my MAME page.

As most of us in the gaming community know, the MacMAME project has been dormant for over a year, so this is a nice bit of news for people who want to run the latest version MAME under OS X and yes, this version does support Intel based chip sets.

For the Apple geeks in the room, this latest release is designed to take advantage of all the latest OS X technologies, like Core Video, Core Image and OpenGL. This not only ensures the best performance but allows real-time Core Image filtering on the emulation output.

The other versions of MAME will be updating in the coming days, so be sure to check back for more information.
