GroovyMAME 0.227 - Switchres v0.017t

Well! that came out sooner than expected (thought it would be in the course of 2021)
About Legacy Groovy, as a reminder I had hoped to see 0.227 (or 228 etc whatever) with the final two modifications to the sliders;
- increased vsync_offset slider limit (as discussed not too long ago, for low end system situations when a little bit more offset is needed)
- decimals showing on the CPU% slider, like e.g %75.4 (or Hz in place of a percentage as Cools suggested, but decimals are good enough), because the UI is not showing the full real granularity it's a pain to fine-adjust while playing
^ reason for both: user is forced to edit the cfg's manually to achieve the desired precise settings, this is kinda ruining the point of having sliders
Before you discontinue the old Groovy completely, these two changes would completely wrap up the thing IMO.
If you can find the time / if possible, of course. Thanks.

The issue I'm seeing more and more with Windows XP is that it runs (and makes software run) very poorly on newer hardware.
Some years ago it still made sense because for a machine purposed only for MAME use it was a lightweight, fast, no----That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- simple OS, but now it's going to be a suboptimal solution.
IMHO, a minimal Linux distro is going to be the way to go in the future.
Keeping 32-bit alive doesn't make sense anymore, anyone who wants to use XP kernel based should look into the modified windows server 2003 64-bit (IE: Micro2003 or Tiny2003).

Indeed. Windows driver hacking is becoming impractical for many reasons.

Both modifications are included in coming SR 0.017t (building atm).
SR 2.0 already includes the vsync_offset increased slider limit, but not the decimal precision in the CPU slider (it'll be included with next version).
