BuddaMAME v0.96 will have to wait until I have all the latest CPMaker changes done.

It looks like someone saw fit to adjust the spacing on every single source file, so porting BuddaMAME to the new version won't be as easy as it usually is.

You can use the unix/linux indent command to make it easier.

I couldnt see any difference, speed or otherwise in raveracer, unless I need to enable other options....

[AmericanDemon]

I havent updated my rom sets for a while, but how does the namco Ridge Racer series run?  is it playable on a higher end PC or dirt slow like Cruisn?

"Fixed -dual_lightguns option. [Jonathan Lunman]"
this means?

Anyone have any idea how, or even if, this works in XP?  I have lightgun 1 and dual_lightgun 1 in my mame.ini, but both guns are still detected as "mouse 0"...

[SirPoonga]

My guess they found an issue and fixed it.  dual_lightgun is for the tv guns.  If that is what you have then I am not sure since I don;t have a lightgun
