MAMEoX v0.71.1b

posted in Emulator Release by spacetiger on Jul 7th, 2003

Yet another version of MAMEoX, the MAME for XBOX, has been released to integrate the latest MAME changes. The author points out a particular change that is of note:

THERE IS A VERY GOOD CHANCE THAT THIS BUILD WILL BREAK SOME ROMS THAT WORKED BEFORE! THIS IS A CONSEQUENCE OF AN AGGRESSIVE STRATEGY TO RECLAIM A LITTLE MORE RAM. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE REPORT ANY ROMS THAT HANG/CRASH!!

We are asked to pardon his yelling, as he wished to emphasize the point. Anyway, here's what's new:

Integrated MAME core 0.71
Switched to a more aggressive handling of silent XBE dependencies
Added a START menu to the Launcher.
Integrated new graphics from r4dius and cleaned up the layout of the help/options screen
Fixed a problem where BIOS games were hidden when "clones" were filtered out
Added several ROM filter/sorting options
Put in support for rom colorization/filtering on ROMSTATUS.XML
Fixed the problem where moving a ROM to the backup directory would not remove it from the ROM list cache file
Changed the functions in the MAME core that ask for memory to use a wrapper function where we can properly catch out of memory conditions. This makes the system far more stable
Added VSYNC option
Added frame throttling option
Increased autoframeskip reliability
Removed history.dat support

We can't offer this for download, but you can get it at the project homepage, linked in our Emulators for XBOX section.
