The unofficial mame emulator, AdvanceMAME has been updated..Here's the following changes:

-Added the ALSA sound driver for Linux. It's now the preferred choice over OSS.

-Fixed another bug in the./configure script if the SDL library is missing.

-The sound latency is now automatically increased if the game requires a big frame skip.

-The auto frameskip is now optimized to minimize the idle waiting time instead of getting a 100% speed.

-Added the `display_artwork_backdrop/overlay/bezel' option to control any artwork types.

-Added the `misc_difficulty' option to select the game difficulty from the command line.

-The `misc_quiet' option now also disable the NO GOOD DUMP messages.

-The SVGALIB `banshee' driver in Linux now doesn't tries to use 16 bit video modes. They are not working.

-The `misc_quiet' options, if activated, skips also the graphics information screens.

-If the doublescan modes are disabled, a mode with a double vertical size is automatically used instead.
