I never knew this existed, but the original programmer of MAME has a blog hosted at Blogspot. If you have somehow existed in the computing world and played games, but don’t know about MAME, then read up on it at Wikipedia or on the official MAME site. The latest post right now on Nicola’s blog is some details on how the developers have perfected the emulation for Bubble Bobble by getting an original ROM, disassembling it, reading the ROM visually, and then decoding it all. He also explains some apparent bugs they have found and how the bugs impacted game play.
