Changes since 0.89:
- Everything from MAME 0.90 (http://x.mame.net/changes-mame.html) and
MESS 0.90 (http://x.mame.net/changes-mess.html).
- The "-sleepidle (-si)" option is now enabled by default. This keeps
the emulation from hogging the CPU when it's idle.
- Did a major rework of the effects code, which now borrows code from
the AdvanceMAME project (Hans de Goede):
* The code is much cleaner.
* Effects are much faster on DGA.
* The scaling is no longer fixed to a certain factor for each
effect: It supports normal (1x1 - 8x8), scale2x (2x2 - 3x6), scan2
(1x2 - 4x2), rgbscan (1x3 - 6x3), scan3 (1x3 - 6x3), hq2x (2x2),
lq2x (2x2), 6tap2x (2x2).
* All the scanline effects come in both horizontal and vertical
varieties, and vertical scanlines are automatically chosen for
rotated games.
- Made the 32bpp to yuy2 blitting code much faster and cleaner. (Hans
de Goede)
- Enhanced LIRC support to compile and link against system-installed
liblirc_client files. Added the "-lircrc" option. (Mads Villadsen)
- Optimized some of the yuy2 blit functions. (Hans de Goede)
- Added CPU capability detection for Linux on x86. Currently this only
tests for MMX. (Hans de Goede)
- Changed the effects code to use the C versions of effects when a CPU
isn't MMX-capable. This means that binary distributions can be built
with EFFECT_MMX_ASM defined and still run on older CPUs. This
presently only works for Linux on x86. (Hans de Goede)
- Fixed "-geometry (-geo)" to properly adhere to given window
coordinates. Added support for window coordinates to OpenGL. (Hans
de Goede)
- By default, fullscreen mode now only spans screen 0. To select
another screen, use "-xinerama-screen <nr>", or use -1 if you want
the old behavior where all screens are spanned. (Joe Q. and Hans de
Goede)
- Removed Mesa on Glide on Voodoo 2 in fullscreen mode hack. If you
need this, just use "-geometry 640x480 -grabkeyboard -grabmouse"
instead. (Hans de Goede)
- Reverted to treating lightgun buttons as mouse buttons, so lightguns
will work independent of joystick devices or drivers. It is now
also assumed that there are always 5 mice connected, so multiple
lightguns should work fine.
- The old-style debugger works again. (Hans de Goede)
- Merged several of Nicola Salmoria's memory leak fixes from Windows
MAME.
- Fixed multiple port recording for the playback/record option. (Chad
Hurwitz)
