New Mame version .107

Excerpt from Newvideo.txt
---------------------
The New Video Landscape

Since its inception 9 years ago, MAME’s video system has defaulted to
a mode where it tries to change resolutions on you. And since the
first port of the core to Windows 5 years ago, it has defaulted to
using your graphics card to stretch the video to that resolution.

I’m sure a lot of you out there have taken a lot of time to tweak the
current set of video options to make them work the way you like. But
every once in a while, you need to take a step back and re-evaluate
the situation. The current video system has been in place for 5 years
now without much substantial change. And with the recent rewrite,
you’re almost certainly going to want to rethink the way you have
things configured.

At the highest level, there are really three different ways you can
configure the new system. Placing yourself into one of these three
categories will help you get the initial settings right. From there,
you can tweak with the settings to figure out what works best.....
