MAMELOAD TNG Beta u49 is released. MAMELOAD TNG is a Frontend GUI for MAME. ML has pretty much all of the features that MAMELOAD had in the DOS days, but it attempts to be functional and fast with low memory usage. This program was always designed to simply be thrown in the MAME folder and executed. Since ML supports most command-line triggers - a MAME.ini is not required. It assumes you have a basic knowledge of MAME including a decent working knowledge of how to adjust your settings via MAME's command-line and .INI file.

Main Features
- Quickly determines an 'available' list (only checks to see if a ZIP or
folder exists).
- Compatability to all MAME Windows versions since it's inception.
(MAME 0.37b15 onward)
- Have the option of using other command line compatable MAME derivitives and
other MAME-based emulators! Tested builds include: MAMEUI, MAMEUI32FX,
MisfitMAME, AgeMAME, PinMAME, HAZEMD, MESS, MJOLNIR, M1, Final Burn Alpha,
Supermodel 0.2a and more!
- Full Screen and Windowed modes.
- Rotating Screen support. The screen can be orientated as normal or rotated
90, 180 or 270 degrees. This functionaity is available to Full Screen and
all windowed modes which status can be changed on the fly through
in-program input.
- Able to view .PNG extra files as well as use .PNG as a background for your
display.
- Support for up to 50 different ROMPATH directories in MAME.INI folder.

HISTORY, MARP, STORY and COMMAND.DAT files. These are all viewable at
once.

MAMELOAD TNG Beta u49 Changelog:
- Updated RESOURCE.ML appropriately for MAME and MESS current versions (0.143u8).
- Refactored the NVRAM deletion routine to also take in account the new way battery backups are saved in MAME/MESS (NVRAM/setname/file). This took effect in MAME 0.143u8.
- Fixed .DAT file View support for SuperModel to mirror that of MAME.
- Added MESSINFO.DAT usage for MESS, updated by AntoPISA at: http://www.progettosnaps.net/messinfo
- Added a check for initial resolution detection to make sure fullscreen width is not larger than 1280 pixels. Larger values might have been a cause of crashing that some have had using this program.
- This release was compiled using the latest Freebasic compiler (0.23.0) which in turn added a small bit of size to the program. My hope is whatever issues that might be plaguing Windows 7 users might be fixed with this compiler upgrade.
