New in 1.38.3: Controller rework: 10 buttons per player, numbered naming and savestate fixes
- Two extra gamepad buttons per player (10 total), for pads with back paddles
or a full face cluster. - Buttons renamed from letters to numbers (BTN1..BTN10) in the mapping screen,
the on-screen art and the OSD, so they no longer clash with the pad's A/B/X/Y. - Deleting a savestate now goes through SAF, so it really disappears from
MAME's list instead of lingering as a stale cache entry. - Save/load state menus: every face button can name a slot, BTN1 and BTN2
included.
NOTE: custom controller mappings reset to defaults on upgrade, since the
added buttons shifted every stored index.
New in 1.38.2: Netplay menu/Lua, touch lightgun fixes, full emulation area and vector polish
Netplay
- MAME's menu and Lua plugins now work during netplay: the menu combo is
intercepted through a side channel and stripped from the synced input. - New "Allow Lua plugins in netplay" preference, off by default
Touch lightgun
- Aiming maps to the game screen inside the canvas instead of the whole view,
fixing the drift towards the edges with artwork or the full emulation area. - Long press now runs on a real timer instead of waiting for touch events, and
holding the pedal on a physical or virtual button no longer blocks the shot.
Video and resolution
- New "Full emulation area" preference: hands MAME the whole available
resolution so artworks can be zoomed and cropped. Replaces "Zoom to window". - Native resolution is re-applied on rotation and uses the real drawable area,
fixing the landscape-shaped canvas in portrait and the black side bands.
Vectors and HDR
- Octagonal 8-tap bloom kernel with FBO-relative pyramid depth: round halos
and the same optical spread at any resolution or FBO scale. - Hybrid anti-fattening mask so saturated beams carve artwork like white ones,
plus a more restrained bloom and auto-exposure on HDR displays.
