Advance MAME est un version non-officiel de MAME spécialement conçu pour l’affichage TV avec beaucoup d’options d’affichage, mais aucun changement niveaux émulation par rapport à la version officiel.
En voici les améliorations:
* Added a new option `sound_normalize’ which automatically increase
the volume of games with a too lower one. It’s enabled by default.
* Added a new `include’ option to include additionally
configuration files.
* The `display_magnify’ option has now a new `auto’ setting
which automatically scale the game if it’s
too small.
* Added a new set of Linux `event’ input driver for keyboards, mice
and joysticks based on the Linux input-event interfaces.
These drivers remove any limitations on the number of
keyboards, mice and joysticks.
* The `input_map’ option now accepts the `auto’ setting which
is able to map the correct input device on the correct
game control.
* The `input_map’ option now can remap also all the digital
inputs like keys, buttons and digital joystick.
* Improved the advk, advj and advm utilities. They now
report more information on the hardware found.
* Revised the `safequit’ system. The database file is now
called `event.dat’ and it has a strong error check.
The options are now named `misc_eventdebug’ and
`misc_eventfile’. A new set of scripts `safequit’ and
`event1,2,3,4,5,6′ are now started when triggered by the
event system.
* Renamed the script names removing the [] in the names.
* The Linux keyboard `raw’ driver has now a basic support to switch
virtual terminal pressing ALT+Fx.
* Added a new Linux `raw’ joystick driver.
* Substituted the Linux input driver `slang’ with a new `tty’ driver
which always works correctly with the advv and advcfg utility.
Specifically it works when using the `fb’ video driver.
* In Linux the host configuration files are now read in /etc.
* The `-version’ option now lists the low level drivers compiled
in the executable.
* The Linux version can now access hardware ports in scripts using
the /dev/port interface.
* Reduced the CPU cache usage in the palette conversion.
