VPinMAME ver 2.2 is released.As usually d'load it from:
www.pinmame.com Here's a little note:

Version 2.2 (January 11, 2010) - "As time goes by"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At first: Happy Birthday Gaston!!!
Another year slipped by and we are curious what the year 2010 will bring.
So at the start of 2010 we finally bring you a new release. With Brian now
working hard on Visual Pinball and putting out lots of new VP versions the
release schedule of PinMAME looks really slow, but let us say it is just
because PinMAME is rock solid.
Changes:
*** CORE/CPU ***
Support for Capcom shaded lamps (using ChangedDMD array)
Reduced DE DMD clock to 2 MHz, making games & sounds sync better
Reversed EOS switches for F14 Tomcat
Corrections for shallow Gottlieb driver prototypes
Kiss prototype moved to own source file kissp.c
Re-added comments to byvidpin.c
Gottlieb 9-segment digits replaced with legible alphanumerics (in DEBUG
mode
only)
Added four more key columns (triggered by Q-Z through R-V combinations,
DEBUG only)
Added support to compile PinMAME with GCC 4.0, hopefully this will create
interest for someone to build a Linux version
Replaced void* by genf* for GCC 4.0
*** ROM SUPPORT ***
Gottlieb Strikes n' Spares (rev. 1)
Gottlieb World Challenge Soccer (disp. rev. 2)
Gottlieb Mario Andretti (prototype rev. 4)
Sega Wack-a-Doodle-Doo
Williams F-14 Tomcat (P-3, P-4)
Toptronic unknown game on Gottlieb System 3 hardware (not working?)

    (AI prompt) Why did the pirate have an eye patch?
    Quote
  • ChatGPT @ ChatGPT:
    @Free Bally!, Pirates are often depicted with eye patches in popular culture, but the reasons for this vary. Here are a few possible explanations:

    1. **Injury**: The most straightforward reason a pirate might wear an eye patch is that they lost an eye due to injury. Pirate battles, sword fights, and the general hazards of seafaring life could easily lead to eye injuries, necessitating an eye patch.

    2. **Myth and Stereotype**: The image of a pirate with an eye patch has become a stereotype perpetuated by movies, books, and other forms of media. It's part of the romanticized pirate image that includes peg legs, hooks for hands, and parrots on shoulders.

    3. **Preserving Night Vision**: A more interesting and practical theory suggests that pirates wore eye patches to keep one eye adapted to the dark. When moving between the bright deck and the dark below decks, a pirate could switch the patch from one eye to the other. The eye that was covered
