AdvanceMAME v0.79.1

posted in Emulator Release by mfc on Feb 23rd, 2004

On top of that release, AdvanceMAME was also updated. This is a MAME variant which has the same extra video support as AdvanceMESS. Here is what's new:

Added a new revision of the `scale3x' effect. It now looks good as `scale2x'. Added also a new optimized C version of the `scale2x' effect for not x86 MMX architectures.
The `max' effect now works also in vertical and horizontal expansion.
Fixed some compilation problems on Mac OS X.
General improvement of the video blit speed. The program now evalutes at runtime the best approach to write video memory. Or direct or buffered writing.
Improved the speed of the `lq', `hq', `mean' and `filter' effects using a different method to compute mean pixels.
The `Video Pipeline' menu now display the time used to update the screen.
Fixed the display of help tags of players 2, 3, 4.
Fixed the use of palette 8 bit modes with the FrameBuffer Linux drivers.
Added a workaround to correct the color in the 15 bit RGB modes for the Radeon FrameBuffer Linux 2.4.23 driver.
Fixed a memory leak in the DOS SVGALIB Riva/Radeon driver which caused a crash after some video mode changes at runtime.
The C 68000 emulator is now used as default. You can revert back to the assembler version with the --enable-asm-68000 configure switch. A similar --enable-asm-mips3 switch is present for the MIPS3 assembler emulator.
The default host configuration directory is now /usr/local/etc if you install in /usr/local.
The default documentation directory is now /usr/local/share/doc/advance if you install in /usr/local.
The autoconf defines are now stored in a header file and not in the compiler command line.
The debugger now always use the new `max' effect. It also forces the video mode to be `rgb' to remove any palette problem.

You can download copies of these from our MAME for Windows and *nix sections!
