Correction - ARCADE64 has any working arcade game, but not mechanical, or not using software lists. My personal preferences don't come into it. If they did, then I'd get rid of all those poker/gambling/mahjong games and probably many others too. Now, although HBMAME has been updated to latest version of MAME, they won't be merged. They are GPL2 projects, so if you want to merge them for your own personal enjoyment then do it.

MAMEUI64 0.289.0 has been released. Available at https://messui.1emulation.com Changes: - Fixed the fallout from the icon changes in the last release - plugins: Improved their addition/removal. Fixed crash if there's a problem with a plugin. - aplscar: Removed due to fatal error at start - motoxgo/clones: Removed due to total freeze at start (regression) - backfire: Applied fix to stop fatal error at start [cam900] - mbeeic: patched a bug - treeview: added folder to show games that don't support savestates - treeview: if cache files go missing, automatically recreate them. - Split diff folder into per-game folders to mitigate name collisions.

I have never been a big fan of truxton (or truxton 2), but apparently this game has some fans, probably in Japan I guess, because a complete remake was just released : https://store.steampowered.com/app/3323490/Truxton_Extreme/ It's totally different, you can recognize the player's ship though. Despite all the changes, the gameplay is similar to truxton or truxton2 (which were games from 1988 and 1992! Toaplan is long gone, so I don't know how this game was made). There is also a version on gog.com: https://www.gog.com/en/game/truxton_extreme And they have their own website: https://truxtonextreme.com/

It's supposed to be permanent, although I do sometimes make on-the-fly changes which weren't planned beforehand. Basically the "s" will be removed, unless the last character of the parent was numeric. So "dino44", or "sengoku2s01" . If there's hundreds of clones, then there could be leading zeros added, so "dino044" for example.

In defense / support of ARCADE: it works faster from the times of MAMEUIFX, than MAMEUI, especially on 64-bit. Additionally, in options ARCADE has an fast 7Z-ROM audit, which convenient. And, exactly, few better UI customizing.

I personally like ARCADE64 as it is now. Not really interested in what HBMAME offers.
