Hi Adam,

Thanks for posting that. I got the release e-mail too, but I didn't actually read all the changes and that's good to know. I did skim it previously. I'm surprised to hear code was taken from Mame, but heh if the hardware that's being emulated is the same or close enough then why not? I am also a little surprised that DosFreak didn't announce this one smile.

Cheers,

Christian
