MAMETesters Bugs Fixed

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

- 04509: [Core] Analog controls are broken on keyboard when joystick is enabled (Alex Jackson)

- 04394: [DIP/Input] All games with paddle inputs: IPT_PADDLE inputs do not center properly when mapped to an analog joystick (Alex Jackson)

 

Source Changes

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

fix listing of switches used by gambling games [kanikani]

 

Hooked up MC6845 to Laser Base [Angelo Salese]

 

Hooked up PIT to Laser Base [Angelo Salese, Tomasz Slanina]

 

Changed some of the default mappings for analog controls in order to fix various input-fighting bugs (including, but not limited to, MT#4394 and MT#4509). Reverted the u8 change to analog joystick handling--it only partially solved the problem it was meant to fix, it introduced new issues in return, and generally made the code more complicated for little benefit [Alex Jackson]

 

Improved game documentation to Naomi / Triforce / Chihiro HW [f205v]

 

New clones added

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

Battle Shark (Japan, Joystick) [shouTime]

EmuLoader is a front end.

version 6.2 change log - October, 27, 2011

 

Fixed

 

Workaround for ROM names with equal char " = ". Due to the way the frontend was coded, this char cannot be used on ROM names. ROMs are validated by CRC32 checksum only, ROM names are irrelevant. This applies to the "gamtor.c" driver only (for now)

 

Changed

 

The available ClrMAME .dat file is now used to create Supermodel games list (file: "SupermodelSEGAModel3_xml.dat")

But game info is incomplete. A working MAME list is needed to fill the blanks (optional)

 

Added

 

Support for new MAME 0.143u8 settings ("MAME Setting" screen)

This is a frontend for MAME.

ML TNG Release Notes

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

October 27th, 2011

Beta u49 Release

 

- Updated RESOURCE.ML appropriately for MAME and MESS current versions (0.143u8).

 

- Refactored the NVRAM deletion routine to also take in account the new way battery backups are saved in MAME/MESS (NVRAM/setname/file). This took effect in MAME 0.143u8.

 

- Fixed .DAT file View support for SuperModel to mirror that of MAME.

 

- Added MESSINFO.DAT usage for MESS, updated by AntoPISA at: http://www.progettosnaps.net/messinfo

 

- Added a check for initial resolution detection to make sure fullscreen width is not larger than 1280 pixels. Larger values might have been a cause of crashing that some have had using this program.

 

- This release was compiled using the latest Freebasic compiler (0.23.0) which in turn added a small bit of size to the program. My hope is whatever issues that might be plaguing Windows 7 users might be fixed with this compiler upgrade.
