IMPORTANT: Always include this text file along with the binary if you choose to publicly distribute this non-arcade-accurate derivative work. The source must also be made available as well, as per the mame license. 

I'm releasing this build for all those mame fans who:

A/ Use mame (win32 variety)

B/ Desire smooth scrolling in games whose original refresh rate is somewhat more or less than exactly 60 Hz. 

Smoothmame will only be available as SOURCE CHANGES from now on. You must compile the binaries yourself (Emu-France.com may also have them available).

** NOTE: If you desire accurate 100% arcade emulation, then please download official mame instead.


FEATURES
-----------------

- Almost all games now play at a perfect 60Hz refresh rate 


THE CHANGES
-----------------------

driver.h - All games that have an original refresh rate of 50Hz or higher will now run at exactly 60Hz.


CONTACTING ME
---------------------------

Please e-mail me if you have any SMOOTHMAME SPECIFIC bugs to report (not regular mame bugs) or if you have noticed any games/drivers which are not running at 60 fps (other than the ones outlined in this readme).

Any and all SMOOTHMAME feedback is greatly appreciated. If you just wanna drop me a message to say hi then that's cool as well :) This build is for mame fans by a mame fan.

Note: DO NOT email me regarding general MAME questions, arcade cabinet / tv setup questions, or video hardware questions.  Please use the MameWorld Emuadvice or Hardware forum instead.

If you are a newbie then read the EASYEMU mame guide located here before asking anything on the forums...

The MAME FAQ is also another strongly recommended read...

FINAL WORDS
-----------------------

Much thanks to the developers of this superhuman project known as mame -)
