WHATS NEW IN VERSION 2.3

------------------------

 

Additions / Changes

 

Hilighting 'Soft Reset' in the ingame menu will now give you new options when moving the

1up joystick left and right. New options are;

 

- Main Memory Viewer

- Video RAM Viewer

- Menu Color Changer

 

The screen will now blank out if the ingame menu is left alone on its main menu page (after

about 1 minute). Simply move or press any 1Up control to restore the screen. This new

option helps prevent monitor burnin if you use the ingame menu to pause your games.

Removed the trackball cheat from 'The Irritating Maze', instead trackball support is

always enabled unless the joystick cheat is used.

 

Fixes

 

Fixed a minor ingame menu color issue with 'Real Bout Fatal Fury'.

Fixed music offset so 'GhostLop' music can now be heard in the jukebox.

Fixed 'SVC Plus' bootlegs from not allowing character select when in console mode.

works well if used with the action speed up cheat.

10-04-2006 - JAPE

 

I started to receive some contributions or help on the JAPE project.

This is quite interesting as the amount of work could be reduced for every porting of a MAME build.

If you would like to join, do not hesitate to contact me (it is preferrable to have a good understanding of MAME, C and Java code).

As for now, thanks to the help of AJ Mas, we have a working Williams driver and perhaps sound support soon.

 

Here are all the latest changes:

 

* Added support for Blaster, Robotron, Defender, Stargate, Joust, Splat... (AJ Mas).

* Added support for Star Force, Tutankham, AntEater, Rescue, Mysterious Stone, Naughty Boy, Jr. Pacman, Qbert Qubes, Kung Fu Master.

* Fixed support for Seicross.

* Added double-buffering support (we now have very smooth scrolling and faster scanlines display).

* Faster and more accurate I86 core.

* Fixed cpu issues in the M6809 core (Williams driver).

* Added new user interface.

* Removed the unuseful VESA options.

* Incorporated most changes from MAME 0.23 to MAME 0.25.
