By the way, there are a few things I need to make clear about upgrading to this version. I know that many people upgrade the same way they upgrade MAME, by simply copying over the new executable, but that won't quite work in this case because of some structural changes. I apologize for the changes, but such are the perils of a beta version...
- Previous versions included a file called jukebox.dat; this file contained the internal dot-matrix display fonts, the mouse pointer images, and a symbol list for all of the setting in the INI files. This file no longer exists; the pointers and fonts have been split out into separate files (jbdotmat.fnt and jbdefptr.ptr, respectively) and the symbol list is now internal to the code. One side effect of this is that you can now change the display font, and an additional display font called jbsans.fnt is included in the ZIP. Additional fonts will probably not be made available, as I am planning to add TrueType support to the displays eventually.
- Settings in the jukebox.ini related to controls and input have been groupt together in a new [Controls] section. If you are re-using your old jukebox.ini, you'll need to look at the jukebox.ini in the ZIP file as a model for getting your settings into the proper section.
- All skin files have been renamed from .INI to .SKN, and most have had name changes, i.e. defskin.ini is now default.skn. These files are still plain text files, and the old INI files will continue to work, but if you are not using custom skins, it is probably best to wipe the contents of the skin folder and replace it with the files from the ZIP.
- Some errors regarding floating-point math bugs have been fixed. The upshot of this is that some display elements may be a pixel or two off from where you expect them to be, so you may need to adjust custom skins slightly.
That is all I can think of for now...
