MAME's History.xml

XML version now supported by MAME. We strongly recommend to all frontend developers to update their codes to support this new format.

The MAME History.xml is a file that gives you access to all trivia, facts, tips and other information for your favorite games and machines in your favorite gui/frontend. It serves information for MAME games, machines and software lists in the Info tab.
