Whatisnew:

0.76:
-Fixed several bugs reported by users...after the 0.75 test release the fe should be mostly bug free again...thank you all!
-Changed the speech engine, it will use now any voice from sapi 4 or 5. Sapi 5 is allready installed on all xp systems.
-Improvements to the multiuser online arcades support.
-Added a section in fereadme on how to use the mulituser stuff.
-The online chat can now use text to speech engine.
-You can now send private messages in online arcades to the avatar you are looking at...this can bring real arcade gossip to the virtual arcade ;-)
-Text to speech can now tell you when someone joins the online arcade.
-By popular request I upped the max number of models at the same time in each  fps arcade environment to 1000.

as there are a few little bugs mainly in the new internal utility that have not been not catched in 0.76...0.77 might (or maybe only an updated exe) be just around the corner... ;-)

page (icq or messenger) me when you want to try the online arcade :-)

Great job )p(!  It was fun meeting you in the online arcade!  Mame chat eat your heart out!  Now if we could just get that online multiplayer mode with kaillera

Great job on the FE )p(!!  I'm having a little problem though.  I was able to get it running great on my main machine with WinXP pro, but when I tried parsing the gamelist on my cabinet with Win98 on it, I recieved a "cannot read ListInfo.tmp" error right after it starts writing the gamelist...  I went through and checked the femame.cfg and any other possible configs I might have missed, but can't seem to find out what I'm doing wrong.  Any ideas?

[)p(]

which parser are you using, the new internal one or the one from the utilities folder? They are completely different. So you could also try the other one but also let me know which one gives you problems...

oh and in the unlikely case both won't work you can of course just copy the gamelists from your main machine to cfg\lists folder on your cab...

Stupid question, but how do you access the ingame parser?

go to the configuration menu...then to the list mgr...then the gamelists table...click on it and you get a popup with options realted to gamelist mgt...one of them will be the internal mame parser. (i heard there is a little bug in the release version under win 9x whith the creation of the temp listinfo and listdetails files. so better use the external one when you are using that)

yeah, definately noticed the little bug under 9x with the internal parser     Sat there watching it for a long while till I realized it wasn't going any farther...   but in any case, I got the external working by deleting all of the atf's in the cfg/lists dir and then running the parser from the utilities dir.  doh!  Can't wait till the internal one is fixed though,  it'll be a lot easier!  Maybe just one suggestion, or actually a question.  Is there a way to increase the font size in the internal config menu?  It's a bit hard to read on a television or low/med-res monitor.  Thanks again for the quick response to my previous problem.  Keep up the good work on this awesome FE!

Not yet the cfg utility itself is the only part that did not get the active skinner treatment yet.
