MAMEWorld Forums - News - QMC2 0.62 (10-year anniversary) released

http://qmc2.batcom-it.net/index.php/download/

QMC2 0.62 has been released. It’s in sync with MAME 0.172 which was released earlier today.

This version marks QMC2’s 10-year anniversary! As such we’ve tried our best to make this version as clean and smooth as possible. Though we’re now reaching optimization limits for the current design, you’ll notice that start-up performance has been improved greatly again. Many things have been cleaned up and a number of important fixes went in as usual. For details see change-log below.

Thanks to everyone involved, and most importantly: enjoy!

The source code is now available in the download section. As always, expect updated binary packages within the next few hours and days.

Have fun,

The QMC2 dev-team
