Today we proudly announce the release of QMC2 0.2.b14!

This version includes quite a number of interesting improvements, some new features and a set of important bug fixes. Users of older versions will most likely notice the drastically improved startup performance (about 50% of what it took before).

The most important changes since 0.2.b13 include:

  • Nice performance improvements for ROM state filtering and loading of all cached data
  • The ROMAlyzer now has built-in support for chdman which can be used to deeply verify, automatically fix and/or update CHDs
  • New context menus for the main-widget’s horizontal and vertical splitters to allow for orientation flipping and swapping of their sub-widgets/sub-layouts — this enables the user to freely layout all major widgets!
  • X11-only: the embedder now includes a toggle switch to maximize the emulator window
  • MAME targets only: added a demo mode to run random games from the overall list

This version is in sync with SDLMAME/MAME/MAMEUIFX 0.137 and SDLMESS/MESS 0.136 (as always, template updates for (SDL)MESS 0.137 will be posted here later when required).

See the change-log for more information.

Have fun,

The QMC2 dev-team
