My new BuddaMAME build v0.104 is out.
Get it
here.
For new users, my build adds some important functionality to MAME.
1) Artwork display when pause is pressed
2) Integrated creation of said artwork
3) MAME Movie Maker - create AVI movies of demo loops.
There are also a few other, less important modifications, notably the new -ssf and -ssf_file options. These implement the skip_startup_frames, discussed elsewhere.
For this version I have spent a great deal of time creating a new user interface for my CPMaker application. It now will display images and there is also a new spiffy layout application.
To create artwork without display, use the -justprint flag:
cpmaker rom_name [parent name] -justprint
ex. cpmaker pacman puckman -justprint or cpmaker mk -justprint
To display the created artwork, run cpmaker without the -justprint:
cpmaker centiped
To launch the GUI, run CPMaker with no romname:
cpmaker
There are a few known issues with the GUI, but if you find something I may have overlooked, please let me know.
Regards,
Buddabing
