Thanks for your feedback.

Ok, it should be fixed now!

(I can't test it with a recent version of MameUI because I don't have a computer with a 64-bit Windows OS installed nearby).

Damn, I modified them because someone complained that carriage return characters were doubled in Multiplayer.ini. He assured me that it would not be a problem with MameUI.

The original bug was that the Perl conversion script (from nplayers.ini to Multiplayer.ini) output linebreaks as "0D 0D 0A". This dates from 2004. It was not a problem with MameUI and other parsers so I didn't pay attention to this. The only annoyance was that the file size was 10% bigger.

My previous fix turned the "0D 0D 0A" into "0D" which looked perfect to me in a text file viewer in Linux and Windows. Although it's the default line break character for MacOS and Unix systems, I didn't know MameUI expected the Windows line break sequence which is "0D 0A". Multiplayer.ini file now uses this format. It should be ok now.

I know but I replaced the default notepad.exe with NotepadEx for the handy extra features and it displayed the file properly in that viewer.

The duplicated Device section is fixed.

Thanks for noticing me.

Don't hesitate if you find something else.

Your feedback is very appreciated.
