Initial version.

New page

== Release Date ==
MAME 0.106u5 was released on 8 June 2006.

== Contributors ==
The known contributors for this version are, in alphabetical order:

* [[Aaron Giles]]
* [[El Condor]]
* [[Juergen Buchmueller]]
* [[Malice]]
* [[Nathan Woods]]
* [[Pierpaolo Prazzoli]]

== Specific Contributions ==
The known contributions for this version are, in the order specified in the whatsnew:

* [[Juergen Buchmueller]] cleaned up the decocass driver:
** All hardcoded tables are gone now
** cexplore.pro 32 byte PROM reverse engineered

* [[Malice]] fixed windows.mak to support 64-bit builds.

* [[Nathan Woods]] fixed a bug where the gamename was reallocated out from under us by the new config system.

* [[Nathan Woods]] added the ability to specify a callback when a given option is parsed. This is used on the MESS side to add system-specific command line options.

* [[El Condor]] made more generic 6840 improvements.

* [[Pierpaolo Prazzoli]] made some improvements to the Pasha Pasha 2 driver.

* [[Aaron Giles]] added experimental OSD locks:
** osd_lock_alloc() allocates a lock
** osd_lock_acquire() acquires a lock, blocking until success
** osd_lock_try() tries to acquire a lock and returns whether or not it succeeded
** osd_lock_release() releases a lock
** osd_lock_free() frees memory used by a lock
If the OSD layer is not using multiple threads, these can just be stubbed out (return TRUE for osd_lock_acquire and fake the rest).

* [[Aaron Giles]] fixed ESC key not cancelling out of initial UI screens.

* [[Aaron Giles]] added more rendering changes/fixes:
** Added new render_view_item_get_state() function to return the state of a given item
** Changed render_target_get_primitives to return a new structure render_primitive_list, which contains the list of primitives along with an osd_lock which must be held while the list is being traversed
** Added "Rotate View" option to the video menu for dynamic in-game rotation
** Moved window creation and management to a separate thread; this means all software rendering and all Direct3D calls are done on a separate thread from the main game, and will take advantage of multiple CPUs/dual cores
** Changed throttling behavior to skip rendering if we are already pending; this makes for a better "fast forward" effect
** Added -prescale option to pre-scale the game bitmaps before rendering to the screen; this helps get rid of the "fuzzy" look when running with -filter enabled, at the expense of some speed. Note that only integral values are currently supported (no "auto")
