MAME 0.104u8, Intermediate Update

**iq_132** · March 30, 2006

0.104u8
---------

IMPORTANT CHANGE FOR OSD DEVELOPERS: osd_logerror is no longer used. Rather, for error logging you provide a handle to a mame_file in the options.logfile field. If you leave this set to NULL, no logging will be done.
