What's new in this distribution: (12 Dec 98)

  Latest Mame beta hack produced 837 drivers: 
    note: some of these overlap.

     30 drivers with 0 bitplanes (0 colors) (!)
     85 drivers with 1 bitplane  (2 colors)
    314 drivers with 2 bitplanes (4 colors)
    193 drivers with 3 bitplanes (8 colors)
    404 drivers with 4 bitplanes (16 colors)
      3 drivers with 5 bitplanes (32 colors) 
      3 drivers with 8 bitplanes (256 colors)

    0 bitplane games have no graphics (vector games) and were deleted
    5 bitplane games have more colors than the palette supports
    8 bitplane games have more colors than the palette supports

    After intgeration with the old drivers, we get 850 drivers
    (Almost 4 times as many as before!!)

    Missing driver categories:
        ASTRCADE, BERZERK, GAMEPLAN, M8080, MISSILE, MZ80, QIX, STRATOVOX
        WILLIAMS
        some of these are bitmap-based graphics, not sprite-based graphics
        like the M8080 and williams games.  Others are vector games.
        (look in TXT\DRIVERS.BAT for which games these are)
