[Xmame] BUILD_EXPAT in Makefile

2005-02-05 Thread Nicos Panayides
The Makefile has BUILD_EXPAT=1 uncommented. This is a (minor) problem for the debian package because policy says packages should use the original upstream tree (ie no modifications outside debian/). Currently, we patch/unpatch the Makefile during builds to uncomment the BUILD_EXPAT line. Can

[Xmame] PATCH: Configuration files

This trivial patch (against 0.78.1) allows the separation between data files and system-wide configuration files in different directories. The default settings are left unchanged but it is very easy to make xmame fully FHS compliant (without using symlinks). This makes packaging a lot easier.

Demand paging certainly reduces the memory footprint and tinyxmame is only insignificantly faster than xmame. Agreed, drivers are not good candidates for dynamic modules but I still believe that display and sound plugins are. To support all display/sound targets you currently need at least 4
