GroovyMAME is a multi-system emulator based on MAME (Arcade + Consoles +
Computers) and focuses on CRT (PC or arcade monitor with a particular
frequency) screen rendering because the authors are convinced that CRT
technology is a must when it comes to enjoy emulation in all its splendor.
However GroovyMAME can be used also on LCD screen (mainly on models that
allow a refreshing at custom rates).

Many improvements from Groovy were included in MAME some time ago, making
Groovy obsolete, but new features have been developed in parallel to justify
these new builds.
Note that LiveCDs are also available on the official website.

Changes:
- Attempt at fixing mode selection issues on LCD monitors caused by a
mismatch where AMD drivers return progressive timings.
Note on version D3D9EX:
- This version includes a Direct3D9Ex patch (also known as Direct3D 9.0L or
9.L, the L referring to Longhorn, code base name of Windows Vista) which
allows to benefit from some features introduced by the use WDDM drivers
while maintaining compatibility with applications written for Direct3D 9.
The Windows Aero interface relies on D3D 9Ex and uses some of the features
not present in Direct3D 9 such as the ability to share DirectX surfaces
between multiple processes.
