I'm very glad to hear that. I may make a few necessary tweaks and promote it to testing then.

There was some major reorganization in 138u1(?) and it seemed best to wait to bump the version until a few releases have gone by to allow for things to settle down. I did spend a lot of time profiling a couple weeks ago, compiling with some different compiler switches, and trying to figure out how best to optimize without specific hacks. (Also inquired about the slowdown in rtype--i think it's just part of the ROM and maybe was that way in the actual arcade. Have you tried it e.g. on a PC?) blah blah long story short all the things i tried were detrimental to performance. Actually, the main SDL developer for MAME suggested that MAME4all would probably be a better option for this hardware. lol
