[Andrew Gardner] SCSI hard disk updates: [R. Belmont] - Added FORMAT UNIT, READ (6 byte), WRITE (6 byte), READ (12 byte), MODE SENSE, and READ CAPACITY commands. - Changed INQUIRY to ID as a real Seagate model, which makes MacOS much happier than a manufacturer code of "MAME". - Some MESS-specific tweeks to initialization. Fixed all the volume table calculations in the YMF271 core. [Ville Linde] SPI Improvements: [Ville Linde, Pierpaolo Prazzoli] - Added real coin inputs. The previously used coin input was service coin - Hooked up eeprom in rdft2us, rfjetus and rdft22kc Fixed recent LSI53C810 update which caused the Model 3 games to crash.[Ville Linde] Fixed PowerPC recompiler so that Scud Race works again. [Ville Linde] Significant overhaul of the user interface infrastructure: [Aaron Giles] - All user interface rendering is now cached until the end and rendered in one pass. - A large number of extraneous and redundant functions have been removed and replaced with a smaller set of more flexible APIs. - Global access to the UI fonts and colortables is now gone, they are private to the user interface code. - All global user interface function names have been normalized. Most importantly, usrintf_showmessage is now ui_popup. - Pause behavior has been redefined; instead of sitting in a tight loop, the code proceeds normally, but the CPU execution system does not advance time. - Code for the menus has been reworked; some menus are temporarily not available (cheats, memory cards). Removed the internal display of history.dat. Cramming this kind of datainto MAME's limited UI is not really useful, and viewing the history.datinformation is supported by many frontends and websites. [Aaron Giles] Removed the following obsolete and/or redundant command line options from the Windows build: [Aaron Giles] -wrongorientation -wrongfps -gamelist -list -listgames -listdetails -listwrongmerge -listcpu -listcpuclass -listgamespersourcefile -listnosound -listnvram -listpalettesize -listromdistribution -listromnumber -listsound -listdupcrc -listsamdir -listmd5 -listsha1 -verifysets -vset -vsam -sortname -sortdriver -[no]clones -crconly -maxlogsize -resamplefilter -debug_resolution -history_file -mameinfo_file Removed the "Press any key" prompts when displaying ROM warnings. Instead,a warning about bad/missing ROMs is now displayed on the warnings screen.Details of the bad/missing ROMs are still printed to the console.[Aaron Giles] New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status---------------------------------------------------Taisen Tanto-R Sashissu!!

Weirdy Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 is this another attempt to get rid of unnofficial builds?
James Posted August 22, 2005 Author Posted August 22, 2005 is this another attempt to get rid of unnofficial builds?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think it will affect the GUI's mosty and Mame32 Plus! I have not even tried to compile this yet.
Weirdy Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 I wouldn't mind using command line or a front end
James Posted August 23, 2005 Author Posted August 23, 2005 I wouldn't mind using command line or a front end <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Some frontends are having problems becuase of the changes.
Robert Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Here's one: Keith from Emufanatics found and posted this. Just for who's interested in, MAME32FX will no more be released for a while (at least until Aaron will complete his work on rendering system and get the cheat menu working again).I have to say that this update "destroyed" 99% of the features of my derivative build. I'm a bit demotivated 'cos I don't have too much time to work on it. This could be the end of my hobby, probably for the happiness of many people around here.BTW, This is my decision for now... if you have complaints, you know what to do. Sources: Emufanatics and Mameworld. In that same Mameworld thread, Aaron says the Cheat system will be fixed in the next release.
Mr.X Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 EasyMAMEFE seems to be the only FE updated to run : www.mameworld.net/easymame/mamemark.html
James Posted August 23, 2005 Author Posted August 23, 2005 Looks like it will be awhile before Mame32 gets released.
Agozer Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Haha, the new changes really put some pressure on the other builds. Even so, the new changes are welcome.
James Posted August 23, 2005 Author Posted August 23, 2005 Do these changes affect your compilation?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes it does Haha, the new changes really put some pressure on the other builds. Even so, the new changes are welcome.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> No there not welcome Some things do not work Thats why Mame32FX is not releaseing 99u3 Driver improvents are good.But at the momment the mame core changes ( Which is not driver improvements ) has caused alot of problems not just with mame32 builds but with frontends as well.
