• fixed rebuilder (better handling of a MAME related bug)

• Adjusted the sensitivity of the joystick. You should now get better accuracy in aiming, but you have to try harder to do a barrel roll now (which should be more like the arcade).
• Improved the way input and pausing is done
• Fixed the keyboard input so that it slides the analog stick at the same rate, no matter what the frame rate is like.

• v0.019: Fixed the engine sound - it was to do with looping samples. I also increased the accuracy of the PCM emulation - the Vulcan gun now sounds better I think.
• v0.018: Blanked out the incorrect engine sound, to save our poor ears for the time being...
• v0.017: Changed the scanlines method (to avoid vertical banding effects on cards which do bilinear filtering).

Many thanks to Pete for the news!

• Sound must be enabled with -sound at the prompt now.
• 4 Player Bowling is now playable (with graphics errors). I couldn't figure out how to play it, so I only assume it's playable. I couldn't figure it out in MAME either :)

• fixed: wrong displayed fastscan progressbar
• fixed: rare number-of-system-displaying-problems
• fixed: rare crash when using a non-mame-engine and dropping files in scan-results window

• initial release
• In synchro with the 0.2b dos version
• missed options: scanlines rendering, stereo sound, FPS
• added option : - Blur

• Fixed some kind of config saving bug
• Preliminary GUI panel. Press Escape to show and hide the panel.
• Keyboard support. While a game is loaded, press "Input" and select "Use Keyboard". The keys are Up/Down/Left/Right/S/D.
• Settings are saved to disk. I haven't put the 'Use Video Memory', 'Sample Rate' and 'Bass Filter' options in the GUI yet, but they can be changed by editing cfg\finalburn.ini

• Haze submitted fixes for sample ROM loading in Stack Columns, and a bug with sprite width clipping.
• Fixed version number display.
• Improved sound channel disable switches.

• You can now use a real Dragon's Lair scoreboard if you have one. This is one step closer to removing the original hardware from a Dragon's Lair machine and replacing it with DAPHNE. Robert DiNapoli has already done this with his Dragon's Lair. In fact, he sold his motherboard, power supply and wiring harness!
• Linux version now performs as good as, or better, than Windows version. All graphics and sounds supported.
• Timing has been fixed. In previous version DAPHNE displayed inaccuracies for very long scenes such as the Space Ace attract mode and the river barrel ride in Dragon's Lair. Timing is now "perfect" (at least as perfect as we humans can detect).
• LED's have been fixed. A few of the numbers above 9 were in the wrong order.
• DVD works for us developers, but we haven't released it to the public yet because the DVD decoders out on the market today... well they basically suck. They play DVD ok but their seeking is HORRIBLE. Dragon's Lair demands precise seeking and instant playback once a play command is issued. The DVD solutions (including the offerings from Sigma Designs) cannot handle these requirements. We are watching the Livid project to see what they can come up with (seeking does not need to be fast, only accurate). Robert D. is working on porting his DVD-ROM to mpeg1 format and we plan to use SMPEG (from the folks at Loki Software) for playback under Windows and Linux.
• More presets have been added. Presets are basically shortcuts for setting options on Dragon's Lair or Space Ace. It eliminates the need to fiddle with dip switches and other things the end-user doesn't care about.

• misc: External engine/bios definitions. ClrMamePro doesn't use any hardcoded engine or bios definitions anymore. All needed information can be found in an external file 'engine.cfg'. Scanmodes and rebuildermodes have been changed, too. You can't choose between 'arcade, both and neogeo only' anymore. Instead you have to check the biossets you want to check. Same for rebuilder. If using this cmpro for the first time, you have to check our current parserengine settings.
• misc: activating missing-check will automatically activate name-check, too.
• misc: missing bios sets will be listed.
• misc: useless clones in full merge mode will be listed (set + unneeded has to be activated)
• misc: reporting of share-violation errors
• misc: changed scanner a bit (faster, p/c orientated)
• misc: thread priority updated
• fixed: menus in output window
• removed: rebuild always option. This option is now disabled by default

[Version 0.2a]

• Made minor bugfix to correct the Borench colors, thanks to Haze.

[Version 0.2]

• Many improvements and patches from Haze, including an in-game DIP switch editor. Now most games have correct colors and gameplay.
• Zipped ROM support.
• SN76489 PSG sound.
• Preliminary uPD7759 sample support.
• Second player input via gamepad or joystick.
• DIP switch saving and loading.
• Configurable paths for ROMs, snapshots, and DIP switch settings.
• Shadow / Hilight display processing for Poto Poto and Puyo Puyo 2.
• By default frameskip is disabled, can set up through configuration file.
• Tweaks to the rendering code for unique sprite colors and 100% accurate priority handling.
• Stereo sound swap option.
• Fixed problem with button C not being mapped correctly.

• Changed to the BASS sound library
• 1024x768 overlay

Thanks to Retrogames for the news!

• Fixed palette in 555 16-bit modes (typo!). If you had incorrect colors in 16-bit modes, this should fix it. By the way, in 8-bit modes Final Burn will have incorrect colors: you should change your desktop settings to 16-bit or higher.
• Added 44100hz and Bass filter options (which I advise you only use on a high-end Pentium 3).

• Added a game selector (no need for a separate front-end anymore)
• figured out another math chip function! Thunder Blade is now a bit more playable. Can't see tanks, no sound, and no road yet.
• Note: zipped roms now go in a sub-directory 'roms'.

• In sync with the DOS 0.37 beta 6 build. [Brad Oliver]
• The front-end dialog is now larger than 640x480 in size. This means that you should run MacMAME in a minimum resolution of 800x600 if you want to see everything; lower resolutions won't be officially supported any longer. [Brad Oliver]

• fixed: A weird rebuilder problem. (1.7a)
• fixed: rebuilding to not zipped files (1.7a)
• fixed: import mame.cfg (a little relative paths issue) (1.7a)
• misc: cmpro's temporary folder is now \temp. A lot users had problems when it pointed to some default Windows-Temporary-Folders. I decided to remove the tempfolder selector. Don't place important files in \temp because cmpro will empty this folder ! (1.7a)
• misc: crc0 creation (dummy file creation) speed increase (1.7a)

• Kiki Kai Kai and Knight Boy now finally work correctly due to the help of Kayamon! He discovered a bug within GCC 2.9x which basically caused the problems. I tried to find a workaround but everything I've done to fix the Kiki Kai Kai problems caused the Taito F3 system games to crash so I had finally to switch back to GCC 2.81. This also caused the delay of the WIP updates because after a few changes I made to the source I didn't get Raine to compile anymore,which really got me into trouble, but now finally everthing is fixed, and Raine now has definitely less bugs that before =)
• Boukichi added Play Girls 1 & 2 to the Taito L-System driver.
• Tormod Tjaberg added Bubble Bobble 2 which is a clone of Bubble Symphony.
• Thomas Schmidt added a rom version switch to Soldam, it is now playable in Japanese and English.

• added: support for upcoming Nintendo Playchoice 10 sets
• added: support for roms with no given size (datfile has to look like this: rom ( name xyz size - crc fedcba98) where "-" identifies the 'no given size' rom.
• added: cmpro specific datfile tag: forcezipmode
• fixed: two minor Drag'n Drop Rebuild Files issues: (nerving messages when sourcefolder doesn't exist and wrong display "source files 0")
• fixed: weird ascii filenames in zipfile couldn't be removed
• fixed: various correct number issues in scan statistic
• fixed: no more double 'do you want to fix...' messages
• removed: support for old YM3812 samplesets
• removed: rebuilder neogeo + BIOS option
• misc: major source changes for BIOS file usage
• misc: game + case check will now include the extension in check
• misc: small output change for (games + name + missing checks)
• misc: some more output hidings like: wrong sized roms hides bad checksum roms (only when checking for size AND crc32)
• misc: arcade/neogeo merging relationships aren't allowed anymore! (Currently pbobble/puzbobb). CMPro will handle these sets as two individual sets without any parent/clone relationship

• Battle Garegga sound added [Boukichi]
• Puzzle Bobble 4 backgound layers fixed [Thomas Schmidt]
• Removed redundant roms of Warrior Blade and Darius 2 [Brian A. Troha]
• Added dipswitch settings to all games in the Football Champ driver [Brian A. Troha]
• Migrated Antiriad's Allegro hacks to Allegro WIP 32 [katharsis]
• Misc. bugs in the source fixed [katharsis]

Three years ago I started this website and honestly I didn't think that it would last this long but thankfully you all proved me wrong! Thanks to every emulator author for their excellent work, to every visitor of this website, for all of the nice mails I got and for every friend I made during the last 3 years - I always had a great time updating these pages and I hope that this will continue for a long long time.
