Source changes: ---------------------- - [DOS] New tweaked VGA modes: 384x240 (for CPS1, Pang etc.), 384x256 (for 'Lode Runner' etc.), 336x240 (for 'Gauntlet' and other Atari games), 320x240 (for NeoGeo and others). They are used automatically, if your video card/monitor can't handle them, use -notweak (or try adjusting the parameters in mame.cfg if you know what you are doing) [Brian Lewis, Andrea Mazzoleni]. - [DOS] New video modes from CabMAME: low scanrate modes for connection to NTSC/PAL and arcade monitors. -monitor NNNN selects the monitor type: "standard" (default), "ntsc", "pal", "arcade". -centerx N and -centery N each take a signed value (-8 to 8 for centerx, -16 to 16 for centery) and let you shift the low scanrate modes around. -waitinterlace forces update of both odd and even fields of an interlaced display for each game loop [Brian Lewis]. - [DOS] Removed the -nodouble command line option. Use -nostretch instead. If you are updating from an earlier beta, make sure to delete mame.cfg (or manually update it) otherwise stretch will be disabled [Nicola Salmoria]. - [DOS] Since there are now many tweaked VGA modes which may have compatibility problems with some video cards / monitors, they are now off by default. By default, VESA is used; the -vesa command line switch is no longer used. Instead, there is a -tweak switch which enables the VGA tweaked modes [Nicola Salmoria]. - Added a palette viewer to the gfx viewer (F4) [Nicola Salmoria]. - Added dip switches to the Atari System 2 games [Nicola Salmoria]. - Added support for slave mode to the MSM5205 emulation [Tatsuyuki Satoh]. - Changed the analog port handling to avoid problems with keyboard control (e.g. Arkanoid 2) [Nicola Salmoria]. - The Pause key can be changed from the "Keys (defaults)" configuration menu [Nicola Salmoria].
