With MAME 0.274, an ARM64 dynamic recompiler is introduced - a much anticipated and very welcome development. This immediately renders these Intel64 builds for ARM64/Silicon Macs irrelevant, as now the 'native' Silicon build runs faster on all games.

I nevertheless provide this Build 0.274, as it also decently refreshed the Intel64 recompiler according to the release notes.

Please also note that the official SDL MAME website provides an Intel64 build for MAME 0.274!

MacOS Intel Build 0.273

Let's start the year 2025 with a brand new MAME Intel x86 build. These builds have their value, as they perform well in overall with Rosetta2 and provide superior performance with games that require a Dynamic Recompiler, which the ARM Mac build is missing.

Notes: I compiled that one directly from the official MAME 273 source code without any changes. Usage is still at your own risk. As this compile takes ages on my last remaining Intel MacBook, I will not compile each and every new MAME release.

Enjoy.
