Finished redoing all of the multi screen backgrounds. I think they're worth getting. Also added all of that new cache code. And added the new SMB Crystal Screen artwork:

I've posted steps for building / running MAME on the odroid-n2 over at their forum https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=36521 crashovrd (irc name), is willing to reproduce the build and then see if there's anything that can be optimized.

Right. BACKSLASH2 doesn't exist on US-ANSI keyboards, so mapping things to it is as much of a mistake as my trying to use LWIN.

Ah - a MAME error, caused by QMC2. I can confirm this. It seems MAME no longer supports the old artwork -use and -nouse_whateverartwork commands. It still does support -[no]artwork_crop / -[no]artcrop,

So, must have all artworks enabled, in QMC2, and turn off artwork with MAME video options, for individual machines, or no (or incorrect) artwork paths to turn off for all machines.

Perhaps you could register this problem on the bug tracker. It might help to make it evident to more users...

Great. I've checked in a fix that should prevent the debugger from stomping most of the read-activated soft switches.

Good point, so it'd make sense to document the flash type along with the other mainboard information.

Cool!

It would be nice to have many more SDLmame (MESS) feedback from other Mac users around, it could help developers to better discover the cause of the issue.
In the next days I can try to run this build also on pre-Metal Mac configurations (using also other graphic cards, I have many of different generations around) and report here my discoveries.

You could not use BGFX for the portable version.

Right. /usr/local/lib/wx/include/osx_cocoa-unicode-3.0/setup.h has the settings for the Mac build I'm using (from Brew) and it has #define wxUSE_STD_STRING 1.

Putting an #error inside the #ifdef wxUSE_STD_STRING block in string.h does trigger as well.

I'm not sure I follow your problem. The 2nd poke statement stayed visible, just as you described. Is that right or wrong?

sure, thanks for confirming

I have tried to use my version of PLATOTERM in MAME, and am not getting meaningful output from the terminal (it works on real hardware):

I am running a copy of tcpser: (http://github.com/tschak909/tcpser) with the following parameters:

tcpser -v 25232 -i "&K0" -s 9600

and connecting via mame with:

mame64 mindset -m1:rs232:rs232 -bitb socket.localhost:25232 -flop1 plato.img

and have also tried running tcpser on a comport loopback (which is how I usually run it):
tcpser -d /dev/ttyS1 -i "&K0" -s 9600

mame64 mindset -m1:rs232:rs232 -bitb com1 -flop1 plato.img

And the disk image is here:

MAME 0.214

With the end of September almost here, it’s time to see what goodies MAME 0.214 delivers. This month, we’ve got support for five more Nintendo Game & Watch titles (Fire, Flagman, Helmet, Judge and Vermin), four Chinese computers from the 1980s, and three Motorola CPU evaluation kits. Cassette support has been added or fixed for a number of systems, the Dragon Speech Synthesis module has been emulated, and the Dragon Sound Extension module has been fixed. Acorn Archimedes video, sound and joystick support has been greatly improved.

On the arcade side, remaining issues in Capcom CPS-3 video emulation have been resolved and CD images have been upgraded to CHD version 5, Sega versus cabinet billboard support has been added to relevant games, and long-standing issues with music tempo in Data East games have been worked around.

Of course, you can get the source and Windows binary packages from the download page.

Glad you got it to work, there's no reason it shouldn't have been fine on Ubuntu.

Positive mind. Do everything you need to get better fast.
Best wishes Rene.

Thanks, Robbert. Yeah - messages only editable until replied to - haha.

Let me try this, again:

Here's a QMC2 example (using Multiplayer.ini):




And here is MAME, with nplayers at left, and Multiplayer at right:

Acorn VIDC10 rewrite improved raster effects, namely they don't hit the emulation performance excessively:



Also added stereo image support, and fixed a bug where BGMs were clicking too much, caused by the sound DMA not honoring an extra 16 bytes in every transfer:

I've no idea for either, I'm not the dumper. I'll post any further details if/when it's dumped from the 2/16.

The path in bus.lua for the --@src/devices/bus/coleco/cartridge/exp.h was missing the "cartridge" part of the subdirectory, but after adding it, the error remains.

Just compiled the GitHub snapshot, I confirm the issue is gone. Thank you very much! :-)
