PowerMAME - New Derivative Build
Farmboy90:
By the way, can we include the skip_startup_frame/fast_forward_frame stuff that is going on over here?
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=48674.0
I am not sure if this is planned to be incorporated or not. I did search the thread briefly and didn't find anything, so hopefully I am not asking a question already answered.
At any rate, a feature like that is VERY useful and user friendly for cabs. So I have been monitoring it and would like to see it in PowerMAME.

Interesting artical in retroblast about Aaron Giles. Kind of cool to get to hear a MAME Dev POV. Link Between Mike Q, Sir P, Mr. Mahuti, I am seeing a whole different side to the computer world.

I read it. James emailed me a link. I was surprised to hear him talking about accelerating with D3D.

I'm no engineer but I bet Randy could make a USB device like the keywiz but with different firmware that would have all outputs instead of inputs.. of course writting drivers and incorporating it into mame would be a whole different story and perhaps parallel port might be easier.. I dunno.. just tossing out the idea...

I'd like to know who said that. I think I need some lotto numbers from them.

Is that "brandon" again? Crazy - with these new lightguns on the block, I was testing loads of lightgun games, but found several that worked great but the pointer was offset from where you were pointing. Anyway, I came across an old post by someone who had problems with the same games with an analogue joystick, with mame thinking the joy was not centered when it was. He solved the problem, and lo and behold 6 months later his fix turns out to be perfect solution for all the lightgun games with the issue (8/9 I think). I changed all the games with his fix, submitted it, and all the fixes just got incorportated into 0.104u1.
That someone was "brandon". Maybe we need to trawl through this guys old posts and see what else he's suggested..... ;)

Someone else asked me about this too. I think there is a diff file that would make this easy to add. The only thing I don't like is you have to have a config file per game. What it basically does is skips rendering until a certain frame is hit. This allows you to skip the "don't do drugs" messages and the boot sequences on some games. I hate having to have a per game config file. We can add it though if people want it.
