We can't link to it, but here's the whatsnew:

WHATS NEW IN VERSION 3.0

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

 

Additions / Changes

 

PC-2-NEO

--------

- This new feature gives the ability to transfer data to and from a NeoGeo via a cable connected to a PC. It should be considered experimental at this point but can be accessed from the main unibios menu. See the universebios homepage for more information and how to build the needed cable.

 

- Added disable splash screen option back into general bios settings.

 

- If a game is not in the socket on AES hardware you will see a 'white' blank screen at power on. I changed this to save confusion over some people thinking the old blue color was the result of a hardware check. The Unibios does not do a hardware check in the same way, you must have a game in the socket and use the button code at power on.

 

- Changed the way region is set up on MVS hardware so there is more chance of a system with bad BackupRAM booting correctly.

 

- Made code changes to help stop unibios ASCII curruption when the system is overclocked (untested).

 

- Changed code so the NeoGeo spinning logo (older games only) draws correctly when a system is overclocked (untested).

 

- Button C is now used to exit the unibios main menu.

 

Fixes

 

- Fixed a problem that could cause some games to have glitches after swapping games on multislot hardware when in console mode.

 

- Fixed garbled music with Metal Slug 4 in the jukebox from power on.

 

Cheats / CRC Database

 

- New cheats added here and there.

- Fixed KOF96 boss cheat so numbers no longer appear above the power bars.

- Added another Real Bout Fatal Fury CRC.

- Added another Soccer Brawl CRC.

- Added another World Heroes CRC.

- Added another Ghost Pilots CRC.

- Added Nightmare in the Dark bootleg CRC.

- Fixed a CRC issue with Waku Waku 7.

This item needs to be purchased, but older versions (such as 2.3) are now free.

Front End

4th September, 2008 - GameEx 9.53

 

- Includes Headkaze's LCD/LED Plugin 2.78

- "LED's Off When Game is Run" option is now working

- "Use GameEx Profile in List" option added. When viewing games in a list it will now show the default emulator profile unless this option is selected in which case it will show the GameEx default profile.

- "Light Game Buttons in List" will turn off lighting the game buttons while scrolling through a list and show the default emulator profile or the GameEx default profile depending on how the "Use GameEx Profile in List" option is set.

 

4th September, 2008 - GameEx 9.52

 

- The media library module has been improved to allow viewing a slide show and one click queuing of all audio in a folder

- There is a new setting which is on by default, where GameEx will check for DVD/CD or removable drive insertion, and ask if you wish to play a dvd, cd or browse the contents with the media library upon insertion of the media. Windows may steel focus from GameEx if its set to do things on media insertion so if you want to use this feature where GameEx is pretty much all that's run on the machine then you should turn this off in windows.

- Fixes slide show transitions showing wrongly

- BIOS images are now automatically filtered in the MAME list

- Fixes Mr Driller not playable with Zinc

- Manx TT added to model 2 support

- Fixes back navigation issue when using emulator databases

- Thanks to Flash new ScummVM database and configuration. Note: A manual install is required to get updated databases now and in the future

- Updated to latest Bass audio libraries

- GameEx will now properly resume from a system suspend/stand by

- New options to use an external DVD software for Playing a DVD and DVDs on disk. This was put in place primarily for WinDVD 9 because of its great upscaling features

- Fixes crash issue in Karoake when pressing left or resume

- Other minor fixes
