Version 2.2 (January 11, 2010) - "As time goes by"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At first: Happy Birthday Gaston!!!

Another year slipped by and we are curious what the year 2010 will bring.
So at the start of 2010 we finally bring you a new release. With Brian now
working hard on Visual Pinball and putting out lots of new VP versions the
release schedule of PinMAME looks really slow, but let us say it is just
because PinMAME is rock solid.

Changes:

*** 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

*** ROM SUPPORT ***
Gottlieb Strikes n' Spares (rev. 1)
Gottlieb World Challenge Soccer (disp. rev. 2)
Gottlieb Mario Andretti (prototype rev. 4)
Sega Wack-a-Doodle-Doo
Williams F-14 Tomcat (P-3, P-4)
Toptronic unknown game on Gottlieb System 3 hardware (not working?)
Sonic Solar Wars [tecnopinball.org]
Playmatic Chance [pinball-dreams.com]
Williams The Machine: Bride of PinBot (L-3), thanks to Inkochnito
Sega X-Files (rev. 2.04), thanks to Inkochnito
WMS No Good Gofers (rev. 1.0), thanks to Steve Ellenoff

Vpinmame

Thanks for the info, new pinmame is great news!

Iceman5000 (and all involved), many many thanks!

[xzotic]

Thanks for this.

Would it be possible for the devs to have a look at the issue where you can't move Pinmame onto a 2nd monitor using Nividia drivers unless you use the old 182.46 drivers? If you don't use these drivers the display freezes until you drag it back to the main display.

It does seem to be Nividia's fault in that they have changed something since 182.46 that Pinmame doesn't like. Unfortunately it looks like they are keeping that change because every driver since then still has the problem with Pinmame.

So if possible it would be great if the pinmame team could look at changing pinmame to be compatible with the change that they have made.

This would solve a lot of repeating questions around the issue and allow people to run the latest nividia drivers on their rig.

Cheers.

I've been compiling PinMame for several years under Linux... I'm not sure what had to change in 2.2 to support this.

The patch to add the unix support is on my website at http://www.oddchange.com/freewpc. If there is interest to merge these changes into the main cvs repo, let me know how. It's mostly just a bunch of new files taken from an older xmame release.

hmmm strange...

I can´t install the new Version....

When I click the install Button the following Message appears:

Unable to register the class object!"
Error 0x80070005:Access Denied
Please check if you have a valid vpinmame.dll!

I have no clue. I have a new Folder with the files, i have uninstalled the old version, and i completeley removed
vp, no changes.

Someone have a fix for that???

Thanks to the VPM team!

xzotic, you can try the cabinet dll version - it plays better with dual displays.

Groni - it works here. You can't install a new vpinmame.dll if there is another copy loaded in memory. Make sure your downloaded file is intact.
Failing those, here are some ideas - as this error hasn't ever been reported before, please post what, if anything, fixes it for you.

Huge thanks to whole PinMAME team.

[chriz]

thanks a lot!!

just replacing the old VPinMAME.dll with the newer one (Visual PinMAME Cabinet Build 2.2) is enough?

Nothing from the tools works. One scanned my computer, and found a 1000 of problems, but only fix all errors, on buying the program

But this tool did the job, and the error is gone!!!

And Thanks to you Brian for your help!!
