Also, the Dutch and Russian languages are now supported. This is the most advanced emulator of any of the supported machines, on any platform. Now the best Signetics emulation is available on OS4 too. Thanks to Samir Hawamdeh and Alexandre Balaban for their help with the OS4 port.

So what exactly is this?  Is it a MAME arcade emulator?

It's a multi-emulator: basically a dozen or so emulators in one program. A bit like MAME or MESS.
  Some of the supported guests are computers, some are consoles, some are coin-ops and one is a trainer.
  Did you actually read the accouncement? It is stated plainly :-)

Yes, I read the announcement but I've never heard of Signetics based machines.  Was Signetics hardware what drove most arcade systems in the 70s and 80s?

No, not most, but some.
