	nice menu, but why did you replaced the previous one in 05-15-2014 post ?

just because people didn't like it, so i reused a background from ps3's fba. but basically it's the same : new background with new font colors

Ah, OK.
The original menu looked nice to me, but you shouldn't trust my personal tastes ^^;

sure ! you'll win

also some speed improvements on zaxxon
v1 with bg : 16 fps
v2 : 23 fps (current picture)
vXXX : 55 fps (pal setting)

without using asm

it's really not easy to render bitmap with a decent speed !

		Great ! Which kind of trick did you used to improve performances ?

lookup tables with type integer instead of char
unrolled loop
pre-increment !!!

for (unsigned int y = 16; y < 240; ++y) // x
{
UINT8 *dst = ((UINT8 *)ss_map264) - y; // * 0x100;
UINT8 *src = zaxxon_bg_pixmap + ((y + yoffset) & 4095) * 0x100;
UINT32 *srcptr = (UINT32 *)srcxmask[y];

for (unsigned int x = 0; x < 0x20000

// y
{
dst[x] = src[*srcptr];
++srcptr;
x+=512;
dst[x] = src[*srcptr];
++srcptr;
x+=512;
dst[x] = src[*srcptr];
++srcptr;
x+=512;
