AdvanceMAME v0.87.0

posted in Emulator Release by mfc on Sep 24th, 2004

Finally, notably the big release from the Advance series would have to be AdvanceMAME. This is a MAME variant with excellent improvements regarding video support. Here is what's new:
  • Added support for translucency in the user interface with the `ui_translucency' option.
  • Added a new `device_video_clock' option which substitutes the old `device_video_p/h/vclock'. This allows a more complete specification of the allowed clocks if you use a multistandard arcade monitor.
  • The `x', `xclock' and `generate_*' modes of the `display_adjust' option now set a different horizontal resolution if the current resize mode doesn't allow a fractional vertical stretch. This always ensures a correct aspect ratio if you use the `none' and `integer' resize modes.
  • Improved the support for multiple input device. You should be now able to use a mouse and a joystick at the same time for the same player.
  • Fixed a library creation problem in MacOS X.
  • Fixed some issues using `not' input sequence in the .rc file.
  • Now if you unplug a input controller the settings in the .rc file are not removed.
  • Fixed the `input_name' option
There is no new Linux binary yet, however you can find these from our MAME for Windows and *nix sections.
