Actually, checked more, it is a bug in Arcade. You have to enable the plugins by right-clicking the game, Properties, going to Miscellaneous II, and choosing the ones you want from the list. Then it will work for you.

oops

The person who made the change in Mame isn't finished yet, however if things stay as they are now, then I agree we should drop all support (reading and writing) of plugin.ini

New version 0.212.A uploaded, tell me if it fixes the problem (which never occurred on my setup). So, to get technical... I have a .\plugin.ini which is an old version from 3 years ago. I also had ini\plugin.ini which was 3 bytes and therefore corrupt. It seems the old version prevented the error message, even though it's a useless file. So, implanted mamesick's code, now ini\plugin.ini was much larger and no longer corrupt. Now, Arcade saves the settings in ini\mame.ini, rather than plugins.ini. On exit, plugins.ini was found to be data 1 and everything else 0, regardless of the mame.ini settng, and regardless of what was there before. I don't know if this is ok or not. So download and test it, see if there's any plugin bugs.

Version 0.212.A will be uploaded soon. I'm having trouble with my modem (slow speeds), so it needs to be rebooted as soon as my current download finishes.

Do you have a plugin.ini? Where is it?

There were changes made in MAME. You have to make sure that pluginspath points to the plugins folder.

src\mame\video\neogeo_spr.cpp

Added the f3_taito hack. Also the neogeo scanline thing, it was almost all there already, only had to update one file that wasn't in haynor's diff. Don't know if it works though, don't know what to look for in what game. Also the argb32 thing hasn't happened yet, still don't know if it will.

Moved to Raine forum.
