== Release Date ==
MAME 0.101u3 was released on 24 October 2005.

== Contributors ==
The known contributors for this version are, in alphabetical order:

* [[Aaron Giles]]
* [[Brian Troha]]
* [[Buddabing]]
* [[Corrado Tomaselli]]
* [[El Condor]]
* [[Lawrence Gold]]
* [[Nathan Woods]]
* [[Oliver Stoneberg]]
* [[Parodier]]
* [[Pierpaolo Prazzoli]]
* [[R. Belmont]]
* [[Sonikos]]
* [[Ville Linde]]

== Specific Contributions ==
The known contributions for this version are, in the order specified in the whatsnew:

* [[Aaron Giles]], [[El Condor]], [[R. Belmont]], and [[Ville Linde]] fixed a number of games that were broken with the u1 update. Just a few more cases remain. Most games are working at this point.

* [[Buddabing]] added preliminary save state support to Missile Command and Battlezone.

* [[Sonikos]] fixed some dips in Pop's Pop's.

* [[Pierpaolo Prazzoli]] fixed inputs in Woodpecker.

* [[Nathan Woods]] updated PowerPC core to use new disassembler style.

* [[Nathan Woods]] merged in recent updates from MESS PC emulation code.

* [[Oliver Stoneberg]] fixed DTD in the -listxml output.

* [[Pierpaolo Prazzoli]] added sprites banking, tile banking, sound banking, and a couple of DIP switches to Egg Hunt.

* [[Nathan Woods]] updated 6502 family of disassemblers to the new disassembler style. Added internal memory maps for the m6510 and m4510 CPU cores. Updated m4510 to use address translation hooks.

* [[Nathan Woods]] reduced how often the debugger display is refreshed if stepping and steps_until_stop is a high number. This makes commands like 'step #10000' a bit more usable.

* [[Lawrence Gold]] fixed MESS UI code that prevented P and Esc from being intercepted properly.

* [[Nathan Woods]] added check and failure for 0-sized mallocs.

* [[Nathan Woods]] updated i86 and i286 cores to hook into the new i386 disassembler.

* [[Aaron Giles]] added MMU support to the MIPS3 dynamic recompiler. Re-enabled it by default. Added direct fast RAM access to the dynamic recompiler, as well as optional hotspot optimizations. Most games should show a net speedup over the pre-MMU compiler.

* [[Aaron Giles]] fixed FPU decoding and a few other minor issues in the i386 disassembler.

* [[Aaron Giles]] added rudimentary hotspot detection to the debugger. Type "help hotspot" for details on how it works.

* [[Aaron Giles]] cleaned up the way the debugger hooks into the memory subsystem. Now, on each CPU switch, the debugger queries the memory system for callbacks to be called on every read/write. This allows more efficient watchpoint tracking and allows for non-watchpoint debugging behaviors like the hotspot detection.

* [[Aaron Giles]] changed the way encrypted CPU memory is allocated and managed. Previously, memory_set_opcode_base() was used to set a single pointer to the decrypted opcodes; however this presented a number of limitations. Now that all RAM and ROM-like regions are assigned banks, the memory system now tracks decrypted opcodes per bank. For implicit banks (marked RAM or ROM in the memory map), a new function memory_set_decrypted_region() configures which areas of the address space contain decrypted opcodes and where the decrypted opcodes live. For explicit banks, there is a new function memory_configure_bank_decrypted() which operates identically to memory_configure_bank() but specifies a pointer to the decrypted opcodes on a per-bank basis. Updated all drivers using the old mechanism to the new mechanism and removed the old system.

* [[Aaron Giles]] thanks to the new opcode handling, removed "RAMROM" support from the memory subsystem altogether, and updated all drivers to simply limit their decryption to areas that the CPU decrypted.

* [[Aaron Giles]] fixed activecpu_dasm() and cpunum_dasm() to detect the presence of an updated disassembler and wraps the calls to that rather than crashing.
