MAME32 v0.78

posted in Emulator Release by narvick on Dec 26th, 2003

After the release of the Christmas MAME, MAME32 updates as well. This is the Windows version of MAME. In addition to being in sync with v0.78, here are additional updates:
  • Added the ability to do 'mini-audits' on each of the folders on the left plane. Secondary click on the folders to see audit as a choice
  • Changed behavior of Mame32 when displaying games that have the protection not emulated flag, previously it would flag these games as non-working and display the warning.ico. Now warning.ico and non-working status only occur if the game has the non-working flag attatched in the driver
  • Increased CPU and sound area on games' properties page to accommodate 5 lines now that tceptor and tmnt utilize it
  • Altered behavior of properties titlebar on driver.ini to show the driver name instead of 'folder' properties
  • No longer UPX compressing Mame32 .exe. This saves 20 Megs when Mame32 is loaded into memory, will allow for better dynamic loading, and won't trip off virus detectors that have trouble with UPX compression. As a result, Mame32.exe is now 20 megs in size on the hard drive. The distribution package is also being changed and compressed with 7-Zip as a self-extracting archive, this actually makes the distribution package about 1 Meg smaller than previous releases
  • Switched the default settings in Mame32 to disable auto frameskipping and to use draw ever frame per discussion on MameDEV list
  • Added 48000 as a sample rate option, works well with modern soundcards and chips
