Note that there’s an updated KHotKeys definition for QMC2, the first one had some minor bugs. See contributions in the download section.

Armin Schmidhuber wrote in to inform that ZXMameCD 0.48 (32-bit) has been released today. It includes SVN revision 240 of QMC2 (0.1.b11), which is currently under development.

Armin also sent a KHotKeys (KDE) definition file for QMC2, which can be downloaded from the download section. Simply import this file into KHotKeys, redefine your keys according to your cabinet controller (an X-Arcade stick for example) and control QMC2 w/o a keyboard.

Note that this is meant to be used as a temporary workaround for QMC2′s yet missing keyboard & shortcut remap functionality. It is planned to be included in 0.1.b11 final, so it will not require KDE when it’s finished.

The current SVN revision (r240+) includes a new feature to import/export global and game-specific MAME configuration files (mame.ini/gamename.ini in case of SDLMAME, or xmamerc/gamenamerc in case of XMAME). This enables you to easily exchange MAME configurations between different QMC2 installations, and to run MAME with the exact same setup regardless if it is launched via QMC2 or from the command line (or how ever).

Also note that the preview packages have been updated to include images for over 6400 games. See download section!

QMC2 0.1.b11 is currently under development. So far it includes a handfull of new features which may be incomplete in parts. Well, they are already fairly stable and usefull, but you have been warned …

BTW, a new screenshot of the current QMC2 0.1.b11 SVN revision has been uploaded. See screenshot section.
