ARCADE64 0.246.0 is released. Download location: https://arcade.mameworld.info/ The change to the directory structure was able to be handled, without losing our modifications. You might have noticed an extra ".0" appended to the version - this is to indicate that we are not using vanilla MAME but a modified version of it. As you know ARCADE64 carries over the changes that came with MAMEUIFX.

https://hbmame.1emulation.com/ What's new in HBMAME ==================== 2022-08-12 0.245.3 Fixed altbeast and clones, games re-enabled. New Games --------------------------------- - [cakefght1] Cake Fighter v1.1 - [captcommh11] Captain Commando (readjusted) - [dinos283] Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (Readjusted v1.2) - [pbobble3h01] Puzzle Bobble 3 (Recarbonated) - [sailormnh06] Sailor Moon (Fight for Justice) - [teot] The Eye of Typhoon (Tsunami Edition, beta 7, 2022-07-31)

A new change was made that fixes MESSUI and MAMEUI. I'll try Arcade tomorrow, but first I need to unrevert what I did before. https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/42f62eb32597912640b88a70587905c5721abbf2 don't get your hopes too high though, there's more changes on the way which means we're unlikely to make it to next year.

It's the old setup, I guess you were not switched to the new one yet, you'll see that later ! Yeah, nice birthday ! but anyway with such an extension it's not a problem anymore... ! The blurry picture in the background is not the best effect, still experimenting with this, but it gives you an idea of the changes !

Reviving an old topic : if you, like me are using "dark reader" and have some troubles with the new gmail style, just open the settings for "dark reader", click on "More...", then choose either "Filter" or "Filter+" for gmail, but then don't forget to remove the news below (x), and then choose "for this site only", because most other sites work fine with the dynamic setting, but the icons of gmail at the top of the screen become invisible if using dynamic. That's all, and the "dark" themes from gmail without "dark reader" leave the background of the mails in white, so they are nice but not really useful, but you can combine them with dark reader by using this setting ! Thanks again to mer-curious for finding this extension !

Oh well it's fixable, but I'll need to investigate for that, I'll probably do it later (if ever rain comes back to France it will vastly increase the chances to see that happening !). And for the warning, those following raine know the real raine remains the 32 bits version, although I thought the 64 bits version was now totally compatible, but raine is all about crazy optimizations and assembler, you loose most of that in the 64 bits version. Don't worry, it will be fixed, but not now...

I tried this, and what a surprise, I can't seem able to reproduce this ! My emu is closer to your left window, I don't know what you found again. It's like you get a constant lag in fps, did you check your fps counter at least here ? (even the profiler, it should show around 90% free cpu on a modern machine). It should display around 59-60 fps too. And you should have a lag in the intro between what you hear and what you see in this case since it's synchronized on an audio track (and we had some trouble to synchronize it precisely if you remember !). Try the 32 bits version eventually, the 64 bits version seems more choppy on this (and I don't know why !). That's why the 32 bits version remains the main version no matter what, you always find unexpected annoyances in the 64 bits one... Yeah from my tests : happens only in 64 bits, absolutely no idea of the cause but it's very probably tricky. And it seems to happen only here, not in the intro ! (which makes me believe it's tricky !). So if it's a problem to you, switch to the 32 bits version, it's the easiest way, I don't want to spend hours on this for now.

Eventually but with all the heat currently around here I am not really motivated to fix problems for now... I'll try to check that later...

Added for next release. When tested 2 months back it showed a black screen, but now it's working.

Hello. Please add srmp5. It is a Mahjong game.

Hi all! Just providing a few updates on the Zzap!Raine book! The book was finalised and sent to print on 15/7 as per schedule. 200 copies of the book were printed, 170 of which based on pre-orders. 30 are still available for purchase! Price is 36 euro (shipping to Italy included, shipping worldwide available for an additional fee based on distance) If anyone wants a copy, please contact me on luca.madrigal.antignano@gmail.com before it's all sold out! The book comes in A4 format with 168 internal pages and glossy hardcover. A Zzap!Raine -themed bookmark also comes free with the book. The book features 49 reviews of arcade games emulated by Raine, 6 reviews of Raine games in their home versions: C64, Spectrum, Amiga, Atari ST, MSX, X-68000 and Amstrad CPC, 12 special articles mostly on Taito games, Zzap! history and Milestones also containing 50 mini reviews of classic arcade games 1976-1981. There is a section containing all original Zzap!Raine magazine covers, an interview with Tux (current author and coordinator of the Raine emulator) and a preface by Paolo Besser, editor of Zzap! Italia. The book is entirely in Italian and every review has a unique layout aka based on the "theme" on the reviewed game. The 8- and 16-bit reviews also contain Tips and Tricks for the game, and a QR code to download the ROM of the game in question. The last page of the book contains a surprise, coming from the Zzap!Raine archives and never published before. The book is approved and endorsed by the ZZap! publishers: Oliver Frey, Roger Kean and Chris Wilkins.

The survey ran for 6 and a half weeks which I think was long enough. You need to visit here at least once a month to keep in touch with what's going on. It's like those people who complain about their country's political situation, and then they don't bother to vote. You can always make your own cut-down version by modifying arcade.flt before compiling.

It's on the hbmame site, point at the current one then change the 2 to 1.

Don't hold your breath. The problem is not compile an ARCADE version without the GUI, the problem is that MAME seems to be a bloatware now and for a lot of people isn't possible to compile it anymore. They suggest to use the LLD linker, which is not usable in the WINUI code, so yes, Robbbert is right. It's probably the end of ARCADE, MAMEUI and others.

Thanks for the encouragement ! Well I am currently having my worst year ever, after loosing this dog I will probably loose my mother soon, even if it's the result of a long disease so it's not really a surprise. Add to this crazy temperatures, 41°C next Monday... If the world cools down and becomes less crazy, I'll probably try to make some more releases, but for now it's impossible !
