fastMAME
The authors of this build have this to say about FastMAME:

NoNameMame
NOT UNDER ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT
The author of NoNameMAME is BYOAC user TheGatesOfBill. He wrote this about what NoName is:
- "No Name MAME contains many extra drivers and a few extra features. Basically, I didn't want to have several versions of MAME so I could use all the features, many of which hadn't been updated in months if not years, so I started my own version."
The last release of NoNameMAME was version 0.84u1, in July of 2004.
