X-Mame 0.56.1
November 22nd, 2001 by MarvX-Mame 0.56.1 with a new designed website has been released. Changes include the following:
- Everything from MAME 0.56.
- The svgafx driver is working again–it was broken by the removal of 8bpp support from the core. (Henri and Jason)
- Numeric keypad support is now much better. (Andre Majorel)
- Added arbitrary height scaling, available via the -arbheight option and started sanitizing the blit core. This currently only works with the X11 (windows, DGA1, DGA2) and svgalib drivers. (Adam Moss)
- Added support in makefile.unix for the Intel C++ compiler, and also a sample wrapper script in contrib/tools. (Adam Moss)
- Added -usbpspad/-pspad switch for support of the direction buttons on the Playstation gamepad. (Bill Adams)
- Added support for SDL under BeOS. Sound is not currently supported, however. (Jack Burton)
- Fixed a bug that prevented romalizer from working. (Shyouzou Sugitani)
- The xgl target should work much better. (Sven Goethel)
- The -hotrod/-hr and -hotrodse/-hrse should actually work now.
- Fixed a bunch of warnings that occurred when linking with GNU binutils using -warn-common.
- Added DGA2 documentation: src/unix/doc/dga2.txt. (Shyouzou Sugitani)

“The xgl target should work much better” … in case that it would build =)

Looks very nice. I really, really, really, really wish that the powers that be would finally do away with the need to be root to be able to operate the screen in alternate resolutions/color depths, but playing this version of XMame with DGA2 under XFree86 4.1.0 with the latest NVidia drivers is pretty sweet. Easily the best MAME experience I’ve had on Linux.
