March 2026: Delivered major modernization of the Sord M5 driver in the mamedev/mame repository, expanding hardware compatibility and improving reliability across ROMs and cassettes. Key changes include FD-5 floppy support, optional SRAM in Basic-F and Basic-G cartridges, and enhanced memory banking with refactored management. Updated software lists to reflect new ROMs, cassettes, and the fd5 utility disk (non-original dump) for testing. Repaired ROM/cassette issues to maximize compatibility, with memory banking stabilized after refactor. These changes increase emulator fidelity, broaden test coverage, and deliver measurable business value by enabling more accurate preservation and experimentation of Sord M5 software.
