Download MAME 0.99b

MAME, the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, has been updated to version 0.99b, most likely the last version before the magical 1.00 release. With this program it is possible to emulate a mountain of old arcade games and consoles.

Note that the next version of MAME will be 0.100. If you have code that depends on there being only two digits after the decimal, you had better fix it before then!
