3D Arcade v0.89

posted in Frontend News by mfc on Feb 17th, 2004

3D Arcade, quite possibly the most interesting MAME frontend around, has been updated recently. Here's a list of what's new:

Support for external "magic" generic models. Deniro made allready a bunch of them...watch the models section ;-)
Support for a new kind of generic models that can be skinned completely developed by me and Deniro.
New internal pinball model by Deniro that takes advantage of the new generic model type. More info soon in the pinball section.
The chat sprites can now, when not in multiuser mode, be used to show info- and history content for the selected game just like in the info screen. Including basic html if the text method for the sprite is not set to field.
More options to format information content for the selected game.
Updated the internal visual pinball launcher. With vp in it's default location, (c:\program files\visual pinball\ , c:\program files\visual pinball\tables\), it should now work out of the box. Reinstantiating of textures is no longer nescessary. And fixes and issue with names with . in it. All in all I think then internal vp launcher should be now your first try to get vp going ;-)
Enhanced support for the mouse in cabinets.
The new keyhandler in 0.88 ignored the ctrl, alt and shift keys. Reported by Cory.
Force1024x768 set to true resulted in an error when leaving the internal cfg utility. Reported by several people..ouch
And as allways more small enhancements ;-)
