AdvanceMAME is an unofficial MAME version with an advanced video
support for helping the use with TVs, Arcade Monitors, Fixed Frequencies

It runs in Linux, Mac OS X, DOS, Windows and in all the other
platforms supported by the SDL library.

This is the list of changes:

* Added a new `help' button which display an arbitrary image with
  the player buttons highlighted. You can customize the image
  and the keys/buttons highlight with the options `ui_helptag'
  and `ui_helpimage'. The default key is F1.
* Added a new `cocktail' button which flip the game screen for
  a cocktail monitor. The default key is the slash on the
  keypad.
* A new MAME like user interface completely independent of the MAME core.
  This interface doesn't have applied the same video
  effects of the game, it isn't limited on the game area, it
  isn't recorded on video clips and you can customize the font.
* Removed the .cfg file support. All the input customizations are now
  saved in the .rc file.
* The frame skipping algorithm try now to get the correct speed of the
  game also if it imply a waste of CPU time.
* Fixed the screen position on games with a moving display area.
  For example invaders in cocktail mode.
* The exit menu is always displayed if the `safequit' function is
  enabled and the `event.dat' file is missing or it doesn't contain
  information of the game. You can disable it with the option
  `misc_safequit no'.
* The DOS version should now restore correctly the video mode at the
  program exit.
* Fixed the mouse support with the SVGALIB driver.
