This feature is enabled when executing 'mame driver software'. After the specified software is found in the software list and attached to an appropriate image device, the software part's feature list is examined for any feature whose name is that of a slot device with _default appended. The feature's value field becomes the slot's default option, which overrides any driver-specified default and can be overridden by user-specified options.
No software lists have been updated to use this feature at the moment.
- strprintf is unaltered, but strformat now takes one fewer argument
- state_string_export still fills a buffer, but has been made const
- get_default_card_software now takes no arguments but returns a string
- replace beam width by beam min. and beam max. width, this makes it
possible to create a linear dynamic beam width by the amount of
intensity of the beam
- added beam intensity weight, this adds an exponential factor to the
dynamic beam width (values greater than 0 will push larger intensities
more than smaller intensities)
- fixed displayed ratio of vector points (zero-length lines)
- enabled smooth border effect and added option, its amount is limited
by the amount of rounded corners
- added raster.ini to parse_standard_inis()
- merged vector and raster bloom options, use vector.ini or raster.ini
to distinguish
this is a dummy implementation of -aviwrite/-mngwrite and is used in
testruns to detect e.g. palette issues. the dummy implementation greatly
speed up testrun since it avoids the snapshot to file format conversions
as well as the I/O operations
create their sub-options. [Fabio Priuli]
out of whatsnew: to see the bug, try to manually set from the UI "com" in a PC ISA port or "multitap" in
the SMS driver in an old build, then reset (to apply changes) and re-enter the Slot Options menu just
to see that the sub-options (the com serial ports and the multitap joypads) are not configurable because
the core was not "informed" of their addition. no bug was present if the options were set from command
line or from QMC2, so it was not so easy to spot the issue...
locking any potential future OSD to these.
Options inheritance now is
core_options
emu_options
cli_options
osd_options
[sdl|win]_osd_options
This required a number of minor changes to other code as well.
Tested on linux-sdl, windows-sdl, windows-mainline, osx-sdl
allows logging of DRC native disassembly without re-compiling / removes
DRCUML_OPTION_LOG_NATIVE and all the core-specific LOG_NATIVE defines /
added logging() to drcbe_interface / added logging_native() to
drcuml_state
-Updated LUA engine to run in machine_manager instead of being initialized per machine
-Added "-console" option so emulator can be started with LUA enabled console
-Update LUA to version 5.2.3
-Enabled SQLite3 to be compiled and added LUA module for it
GAME = GAME_TYPE_ARCADE -> arcade.ini
CONS = GAME_TYPE_CONSOLE -> console.ini
COMP = GAME_TYPE_COMPUTER -> computer.ini
SYST = GAME_TYPE_OTHER -> othersys.ini
I've had a few requests to do this and it seems simple enough to leverage the flags we already have.
relative to -state_directory (whose usage remains unchanged). Syntax is basically the same
as snapname, allowing for the / character as path separator, %g as the driver name, and
%d_[media] as the image name mounted in the "media" device.
For example, using -statename foo/%g when running "mame wrally" will store save states into
the folder sta/foo/wrally/ ; using -statename %g/%d_cart when running "mess nes -cart smb"
will store save states into the folder sta/nes/smb/ ; using -statename %g/%d_cdrm when
running "mess pce -cart cdsys -cdrm draculax" will store save states into sta/pce/draculax/
Specifying a media switch which is not available (e.g. %d_cdrm in a c64) or a media switch
where no image is mounted (e.g. %d_cdrm in pce while playing a hucard game) will revert
the option to its default value %g and save states will be stored in sta/*gamename*/ as in
previous versions. [Fabio Priuli]
Needless to say, this option is very useful with home computers and consoles in MESS since it
allows to have 36 save slots for each game instead of 36 for the whole system library
Notice that a clean compile is required, due to the addition to the running_machine class
