I'm glad you sent this message: Someone already submitted a fix to the mamedev list that counts the number of games and allocates the memory accordingly, and I just remembered it and rolled it into my 0.62.1 tree. P.S. I'm almost ready to release 0.62.1. The OSD rotation support is working, though I'm not terribly proud of it since it's rather brute-force and does cause a measurable reduction in frame rate for games that don't have a vertical orientation to begin with (e.g., Pac-Man). The proper and faster way to do this will be at blit time, but I'd rather have something that works with our multitude of display targets and spend time after 0.62.1 refining it. _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
