Visual PinMAME version 2.2 Released!


Changes Include:

*** CORE/CPU ***
Support for Capcom shaded lamps (using ChangedDMD array)
Reduced DE DMD clock to 2 MHz, making games & sounds sync better
Reversed EOS switches for F14 Tomcat
Corrections for shallow Gottlieb driver prototypes
Kiss prototype moved to own source file kissp.c
Re-added comments to byvidpin.c
Gottlieb 9-segment digits replaced with legible alphanumerics (in DEBUG mode only)
Added four more key columns (triggered by Q-Z through R-V combinations, DEBUG only)
Added support to compile PinMAME with GCC 4.0, hopefully this will create interest for someone to build a Linux version
Replaced void* by genf* for GCC 4.0

UVP Backglasses Come to VPF!

     For use with the UltraVPServer to create rom controlled 'Active Backglasses', UVP Backglasses are a must have for dual display users. After many users getting fed up with the inability to download these gems via RapidShare, Flying Dutchman has been kind enough to make them available here, in addition to his site, Flying Dutchman's Backglass Paradise.


      

Thank you, Flying Dutchman and everyone else involved in this project!
