Previously (From shortly after they were added to 0.62) the distinction was between games that were disabled because they didn't work (TESTDRIVER()) and those that were purposely disabled due to copyright date. In 0.62 TESTDRIVER games are added to a seperate array and verified in the Windows port when -romident and -isknown are used (Previously the TESTDRIVER macro simply didn't include said game). -- Paul Priest _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
