9/17/2006 - Whoops
The post you thought was here was an illusion (ok, Haze reminded me that it was actually violating the MAME license rather grossly, and MAMEdev is a real legal entity nowadays so we do have to care).
Some actual news:
o I’ve got the preliminary GUI laid out for Linux NEStopia in Glade, now starting to hook it up to the core
o New M1 beta cores (0.7.8b5) have been sent to Fujix and Richard Bannister. The big feature this time? Per-channel mixing controls, just like under the ~ menu in MAME, and all game/ROM info is loaded from an XML file on startup so M1 can stay current with MAME sets without any recompiling (this is the same concept Nebula uses). Logiqx’s datlib/datutils already recognize the format so it should be easy to deal with it via automation.
o Since the ongoing major work on it is a PITA I may pop out a minor update to ZiNc soonish with just more games and not the full set of features I was hoping for originally. There would be a full source release accompanying it as well, so if anyone was itching to play along at home with ZiNc development, you’ll get your chance.
