[DEV] MAME 0.168 Slider Refresh Save V1.2-32-64

[Olivcade]

Hello TEAM :-)

For those interested, I'm offering this modified version of MAME 0.168 which allows you to automatically SAVE the "Slider Refresh Rate" setting of the slider, accessible via the Tab key, and save it in the configuration files (.cfg) of each game.

Binary files for Windows 32-64 (compatible with XP / 7 / 8 / 10 / 11) and source code are available here:

Some info from the README:

This modified version of MAME 0.168 adds the ability to automatically SAVE the "Refresh Rate" setting of the
SLIDER, accessible via TAB, in the configuration files (.cfg) of each
game.

✓ Allows you to fine-tune all resolutions with extreme precision (3 decimal places)

NOW: The slider setting is saved and restored automatically!

⚠ PREREQUISITE: The "cheats" option must be enabled in the mame.ini file
for the "Screen Refresh Rate" slider to appear.

→ This option is ENABLED BY DEFAULT in this version.
