AdvanceMAME v3.8 Changelog:
* Change the default 'sync_resample' mode to 'internal' to all games using the pokey sound chip. This avoid crashes and provide a better sound audio. One example is 'starwars'.
* Don't update input configurations that are not changed at runtime.
* Added a new 'config' option to allow to decide if the .rc configuration should be saved at exit or not. If saved, they are written in a resiliant way, able to resist to unexpected power-downs.
* Fixed font size computation. Now the menu always has the same size.
* In AdvanceMESS added a new 'misc_ui' option to configure the keyboard emulation. Note that the default is now to have partial emulation by default to allow the user to control the emulator user interface.
* In AdvanceMESS added a new 'ui_keyboard' input to show a runtime menu to simulate some keypress.
