Mameboy is derived from Darren's MAMECE E10X, not MAMECE3 (With a lot of Darren's help :) Darren's version is derived from the initial Ben's MAMECE.

This one is easy to fix. Just think of how many times you will use that record button for the *recording* anyway? Probably never? If it is so, just go to buttons control pannel and remap that button to be a button. That way, when you press it, you will pull a start menu down (much more usefull than the recording function IMHO) PLUS you won't have any problems with the notes application poping up when exiting games in Mameboy anymore (even the start menu will NOT be pulled down when you exit games)!

You should probably also note what kind of speed in % games are for both Mamece3 and Mameboy, because like this it looks like the games are running 4X slower than the original which reads like perfectly unplayable :)))

Board eats tagged words. It should have been:

"If it is so, just go to buttons control panel and remap that button to be a START MENU button."

The @migo has a start menu button just above the Record button.

Thes extra buttons make life so much nicer, even if they are a pain to remap.
