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.

Well done in getting it to work. Yes, the xaudio thing is a recent pain, you either restore from an older release (like you did), or update certain tools (but I can't remember which ones). There's no need for donations, and soon there will be no point. I don't use paypal or any online payment system, so I'd never get the money anyway.

Anyone can make an arcade-only non-GUI build, you don't need me for that.

Current status: My suggestion turned out to be wrong because I had facts in error, so still no solution in sight. The revert has been done for ARCADE and it's working at this moment. MameUI has not been changed since the last release except to fix Ctrl A in the audit-results window. MessUI is currently broken, because I'm doing the testing with that one. I'm told that even if the commit was reverted, another "unrevertible" commit is just around the corner, maybe next month.

Look here: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/7c98beb5f4dbf5a4ba267c8a7ce7e3da65517842 as you can see, the one who is often so critical of the coding of others has said he doesn't care since it works for him. A short while ago, an idea occurred to me which I've passed on. Perhaps it might help, or it might be ignored. We'll see.

This has been fixed for the next release.

Just letting you guys know, it looks like the next release will be the final one. Those who pull the strings over at MAME have added code which kills off all the WinUI-based projects. Just this once I will remove said code so that we can make one last release for you, and we can go out on a high. If you guys want to figure out a more permanent solution, I'm happy to take it on board, but make sure the solution actually works before you talk to me. I'll make a new thread closer to the end of month explaining a bit more technically what the problem is.

I'd say you haven't set up your environment properly. The suggestion is to be able to compile standard MAME correctly first (ask around other places if necessary), then come back here and try again with the knowledge you've picked up. Also, don't use MAME from git - use the code from the last release or earlier.

Yes - I've been lazy with tags, so just grab whatever is there.

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

MESS, MESSUI and MAMEUI 0.246.0 are released. https://messui.1emulation.com/ https://arcade.mameworld.info/messui You might notice the extra ".0" in the version - this is to indicate we don't use entirely vanilla MAME - we have a few stability fixes included. As you know, whenever MAME finds itself in a sticky situation it will exit unexpectedly, often taking down the GUI with it. Our builds include graceful fixes for some of these issues.

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.
