Release 0.106, 27 May 2006

 

* Everything from MAME 0.106 (changes-mame.html) and MESS 0.106 (changes-mess.html).

 

* Reverted a change that was intended to work around some Metacity focus misbehavior but was causing all window managers to have focus problems in fullscreen mode.

 

* Fixed a link error for messtest. (Arnaud G. Gibert)

 

* The clean68k target now removes libcpu.a, which fixes link errors for successive builds made without a full clean. (Arnaud G. Gibert)

 

* Fixed an alignment bug in the OpenGL driver which caused Defender, and possibly other 16bpp games, to be skewed.

 

* The mouse is no longer automatically grabbed in fullscreen mode. Bugzilla bug 877.

 

* Replaced fuzzy game name comparison with the method used by MAME for Windows, which lists approximate matches when an exact match isn't found.

 

* A BadMatch error should no longer occur for the OpenGL target in some cases, such as when 16bpp mode is used with recent releases of the binary NVIDIA driver.

 

* Fixed the tiny build target. (Mike Frysinger)

 

* Added CFLAGS for the Blackfin CPU. (Mike Frysinger)

 

* BUILD_ZLIB and BUILD_EXPAT can now be disabled without having to edit the makefile. (Mike Frysinger)

I’ve uploaded the source here as mame.net still isn’t carrying it. Fingers crossed it will work this time ( it’s not compatible with u1 or u2 because of the core changes Aaron is making ).

Here's what's new:

ALL: Finally implemented Anomie's Matrix formula for Mode 7. Fixed Energy Breakers world map, IOG intro and some other stuff without breaking anything to my knowledge (hires mode7 still has issues). [Jonas Quinn]

ALL: Cleaned up DSP code again, this time without removing code that was needed Wink [pagefault]

ALL: DSP1 - fixed up Op02 and Op06, and cleaned out the code from old garbage. Thanks The Dumper for the logs and Andreas Naive for reverse engineering the last very hard opcode. [Nach]

ALL: Made mouse detection more verbose, and the reason for ManyMouse failing clear. [Nach]

ALL: Removed a useless cmd line option (-sn). [Jonas Quinn]

ALL: Some optimisations. [Jonas Quinn]

ALL: Removed special timing for EHi roms. [Jonas Quinn]

ALL: Fixed info for -p. [Deathlike]
