ML TNG Release Notes
--------------------
February 19th, 2009
Beta u39 Released
- Added a much expanded FAVORITE.ML format which allows you to add many
different settings. See the mlreadme.txt for more information as to the
specifics. ML will still attempt to load your old favorite.ml file but
write a new style one upon exit or upon not finding an emulator to use.
- Temporarily took out command line interaction, since all the items can
now be entered into your favorite.ml file.
- RESOURCE.ML additions - including new commands such as -listbrothers as
well as new parent/clone relationships in
MESS to make sure you have a full
available list for machines with shared roms.
- Major fix to my reading of clones, sources and all functions requiring or
including that information. As of
MAME 0.129u4,
MAME now allows a setname
greater than the forever standard 8 characters. My routines to parse the
game list and other output depended on the fact that 8 was a limit. The
routines were worked to be compatable with old and new
MAME structure. More
work might need to be done in the future regarding this.
