Whats the best version of Mame32 to use these days.

I've been using 0.36 for years now... :roll:

Some of the latest versions don't actually seem to do anything other than bring up a command prompt...

I love them both. I remember the days that I was the only 68060 user in my country

You know, it was costing a fortune to buy those accelerator cards.

You should be on 0.89.

On the subject of mame, I see Pleasuredome is still active so that's one active torrent site. Looks like 0.90 is going to be a big one.

Hope so George Tatum.

As I recently aquired all the mame romz from a.b.e.mame and looking forward to having a proper go on M.A.M.E 0.90

Managed to greb the ed2k links to the chd/art/icons/cab files etc etc before this panic happened so pretty sorted on the MAME front :beerchug:

I have Mame 0.89 and all it does for me is give this message..

"MAME is a console application, you should launch it from a command prompt."

I understand what a command prompt is and it generates one when I click mame.exe but this is not how mame32 used to work :matrix:

WTF is occurring?

You're running Mame NOT Mame32.
Mame runs from the command line so in order to run a game you would need to open a command window in the mame directory and type "mame xxxxx" (where xxxxx is the rom name you want to play).
Or you could just download Mame32

gtd2000 · **Posted:** Sat Dec 18, 2004 3:55 pm **Post subject:**

Oh...

I'll go and download the extra 32 bit then.... :wacky:

I've actually found and old ROM of a game I used to play as a 14 year old kid (in '79 :-o ) at the local pub called quasar.

I can't seem to get this to show up after auditing the games.

Is there anyway to check (easily) which version of Mame32 supports this game?

PC_Arcade · **Posted:** Sat Dec 18, 2004 6:34 pm **Post subject:**

Every version of mame from 0.80 upwards supports quasar.
These are the roms you need in a zip file called quasar.zip

Cool I'll see if I can download a newer version.

On a side note I find that the newer versions do not display the older games as accurately compared to 0.36 etc.

The images are not as defined...maybe it's just me though... :roll:

It's just you, you've set your video settings differently between the two different versions.

gtd2000 · **Posted:** Sat Dec 18, 2004 7:26 pm **Post subject:**

well thats the first time I've played since 1979 after I got banned from the pub... :matrix:

That was a timewarp for sure - I never did get to complete the game!

Now I need to install my joystick and give it a proper thrashing :beerchug:

Do you have any good links for the artwork in Mame 32 - it is a pretty nice feature being able to see the screenshot previews of the games?

Getting the ROMS these days is a bit of a carry on - I remember staying in on a Saturday night when I lived in Hong Kong and downloaded every single rom from that Brazilian mame site which seems to be long gone (this was around 4 years ago!)

I've got about 1600-2000 roms back home on my desktop pc which I'll need to transfer over to my laptop in a couple of weeks when I go then - I am assuming that 0.82 will play my older ROMS?

Any other hints/tips about good sources for mame32?

If you want to build your own arcade here is my buddy Pats site http://www.myatari.net/issues/oct2002/mame.htm I have absolyely no idea where he got all his ROMS.....

PC_Arcade · **Posted:** Sat Dec 18, 2004 7:32 pm **Post subject:**

I've already got my own Cab, but thanks for the link.

As for where to get roms, there's a couple of links in this thread, but I get mine from Usenet in the main.

As the for the screenshots, they are all available at the mame32 q&a site : http://www.classicgaming.com/mame32qa/

Good luck :beerchug:

If you like I can post my Mame ed2k links here??

gtd2000 · **Posted:** Tue Dec 21, 2004 8:35 pm **Post subject:**

I've got a fair few in the queue but they never seem to go anywhere...strangely enough as soon as I log on to Shareaza or ED2K EVERYBODY seems to download from me instantly though..... :evil:

yup, shareza is a poor client, well infact several poor clients in one. You'd be better off using emule and a bt client.
