  • Change the default 'sync_resample' mode to 'internal' to all games
    using the pokey sound chip. This avoid crashes and provide
    a better sound audio. One example is 'starwars'.
  • Don't update input configurations that are not changed at runtime.
  • Added a new 'config' option to allow to decide if the .rc configuration
    should be saved at exit or not. If saved, they are written
    in a resiliant way, able to resist to unexpected power-downs.
  • Fixed font size computation. Now the menu always has the same size.
  • In AdvanceMESS added a new 'misc_ui' option to configure the keyboard
    emulation. Note that the default is now to have partial emulation
    by default to allow the user to control the emulator user
    interface.
  • In AdvanceMESS added a new 'ui_keyboard' input to show a runtime menu
    to simulate some keypress.
  • Added support for configuring joystick and mouse buttons in the 'event'
    configuration option.
  • Added the 'display_resizeeffect' option like in AdvanceMAME to scale
    screenshots.
  • In the screensaver if the clip is too short, don't restart it when
    it finishes, but switch to the next one.
  • In 'lock' mode is still possible to shutdown, if the 'misc_exit'
    option allows it.
  • Added a new 'advblue' tool able to pair and connect automatically
    bluetooth joysticks and gamepads. This is Linux only.
  • Added a new 'ui_autocalib' option to automatically start a joystick
    calibration menu if no joystick is detected. This works better
    with the Linux event driver, with an immediate notification.
    With other drivers it checks only when the idle screensaver
    starts.
  • Other configuration options added: 'ui_topname', 'sort smart_time',
    'ui_text/bar_font', 'ui_outline', 'skip_horz' and 'skip_vert'
  • The configuration .rc file is wrote in a resiliant way, able to
    resist to unexpected power-downs. Take care that this is
    automatically disabled if the .rc is a symbolic link.
  • Always wait for vsync to avoid to use 100% CPU.
  • Added a new 'exit' event to separate the exit action from the
    generic esc one. Ensure to change also misc_exit to make this
    command to work.
  • Avoid to flash the cursor if it has equal foreground and background
    color.
