Beta u5 Released

 

- Eliminated (hopefully) all screen flicker when selecting items.

 

- Updated ML's compiling environment to correct issues related to slower computers. Hopefully ML will no longer sap cycles from your CPU while idling.

 

- There was also a key delay problem with slower computers which I hopefully coded away.

 

- Added in startup/output window a checklist as ML TNG starts, so you can monitor what is happening.

 

- Added 2 new functions:

 

CTRL+F - Toggles Fontsize. This will jump between 8x8 and 16x16 font sizes.

 

CTRL+R - Rotate Resolution. Jumps between 640, 800, 1024, 1280 width screen sizes. Resolutions larger than current screen size will attempt to display, but will obviously be cut off.

 

** Note: Resolution and Font changes cannot be issued while viewing an information (history/mameinfo/help) list, only in a gamelist mode.

 

- Reoriented some screen elements, giving more room for any of the status messages towards the bottom of the display.

 

- Merged F9/F10 to just use F9, which will locate your .INI, create a backup then create a fresh emulator .INI for you.

 

- Rewrote the MAMEINFO/HISTORY data obtaining routines to make finding information much, much quicker.
