Arcade emulator

raine (0.50.14)

 

* Fixed a problem with the drawing of some big sprites in the toaplan2 driver (not all of them, just some of them with a middle symmetry, like with the 1st boss in the demo of dogyuun for example !). Very old bug.

* Took this opportunity to add basic sound support to kbash, fixeight and batsugun from the findings by mame in the toaplan2 driver (very basic sound anyway).

Also I enabled sound for dogyuun but since I don't know which sound maps to what it's more noise than sound effects for some parts, anyway it's still better than silence, and turn sound off if you don't like it ! It works also for vfive/grindstm but I had to make it a clone of dogyuun to be able to borrow dogyuun's samples.

* Added kbash2, a bootleg with a better sound support than kbash !

* Fixed the sound in finalttr (it probably never worked before past the 1st screen!)

* Finally made the animations of the cave sprites more smooth when they are zoomed in or out (previously it was an approximation which showed specially in mazinger, now the animations are much better).

EDIT: seems as if a few bugs were encountered, now up to ver 1.0.6 1.0.7

Front End

Version 1.97

* Greatly expanded the search for valid artwork. If there is no art for the specific game, it looks for the clone, the parent, the parant's clone, etc. until it finds something. If still nothing, it uses "generic.png" as before.

Version 1.96

* I believe I finally have all the bugs squashed related to parsing rom sets that have no "video" section. These sets were causing a problem because they never filled in the Raster/Vector and Horizontal/Vertical arrays, causing stack overflows.

* Added realtime filtering. You can hold the P2 start button and use up/down on the joystick to show/hide clones, and left/right to show/hide horizontal games (for vertical cabs).

* Separated the list generation from the XML converstion. This allows you to customize your listinfo.xml file with tools like "ROMLISTER" (outputting back to XML) and UltraMAME will convert this file. Unfortunately, at this time the XML files that ROMLISTER outputs are not compatible with XML2INFO.

Version 1.95

* Fixed bug where frontend would crash on certain games when it couldn't parse the orientation properly.

* Activated player 2 button to toggle between showing clones or not.

* Fixed the ListView mode which may have been broken for a while since I don't use it.

* Fixed some more scaling/centering issues with all photos in all modes.

* Fixed it so that cabinet views are never a toggle option in quadrant IV in the ImageBrowser mode, since they are always in quadrant II already.

* Fixed quadrant II cabinet view to use 'generic.png' if no cabinet picture is found for the selected game.

Version 1.94

* Fixed long standing problem with launching MAME under Windows XP versions SP2 or later and Windows Vista. UltraMAME is now compatible with all Windows releases, XP and Vista.

* You must now hold the SHIFT and press the exit button to quit the program. This was necessary for fixing the MAME launch issue.

* I moved the Information bar to the top instead of the bottom, where it's much easier to see on a cocktail machine.
