  • Pierpaolo Prazzoli made several improvements and game additions to the Nintendo VS and Playchoice drivers.
  • Acho A. Tang contributed several fixes for Super Real Darwin
  • New option -high_priority to increase the thread priority so MAME runs better while other programs are running. It is off by default because enabling it might make MAME use too much CPU time.

  • Bryan McPhail fixed some bugs in the I86/NEC CPU emulation. This includes raster effect problems in Geostorm and the 99 credits bug in Lethal Thunder.
  • Now compiled with GCC 3.2.2. Removed the patch that was needed to work around a GCC 3.2 bug.
