Highest AmigaOS Mame version EVER

Hi!

I just beat the record.

For a long time 0.106 was the top (Before my long break I never could beat that one).

After that various authors did 0.151 (AmigaOS4), 0.148 (MorphOS) and 0.37 (cough ^^ 68k and WarpOS).

I just successfully compiled Mame 0.160. Of course in form of a RetroArch Core.

The record is beaten. And I am back in the Mame for Amiga thing ^^

Best regards,
Steffen

Mame's problem is always its performance

At least for the games I tested I did not see a noticable speed difference to Mame 0.135u4 (Mame 2009 Core) which already was at full fps (50+ fps).

Also two bugs have been found though

1) if starting a second game before quitting first you get a crash (I debug this currently, probably a bug in original Mame code where Windows/Linux did not punish it as harshly as AmigaOS)
2) Sound is extremely quiet (no jerking or anything though, just very quiet, you need to set up to 80% at minumum in OS settings)

I have already been able to test the new Core Mame 2015 V1.60 under RetroArch thanks to TheMagicSN....Games/Roms that did not work with older versions now do, and on an x5000 it is really fast at 54 FPS gameplay.

Note I am still compiling on various versions (CPU options etc.), as soon as done the full archive will be ready for all betatesters.

@Majestro: The version you had was BTW the default G3 version. There will still come one compiled for x5000 specific (though I expect no big difference in speed).

The open issue (crash on starting a second game and too quiet sound) I will investigate (specific on Mame 2015 Core issues).
