clrmame changelog:
Core:
– updated to Visual Studio 2026
– enhancements: standalone mode now only grabs necessary dependency ROMs instead of all
– improvements: nonmerge mode now auto-adds only devices and bios machines when resolving filters
– updates: bit7z now at 4.1.0, with the 7z sdk/dll (26.02) also updated; major improvements mean my own fork is no longer necessary
– updated pugixml to version 1.16
– fixed: rar5 files can be omitted since they were incorrectly marked as “not first volume”
UI:
– fixed: reset thread count to auto (instead of using 1) when switching to a new system with a different hardware thread count
