[MAMEUI64 Classic 0.253.1 released]

Turns out there's a front-end called MAME Classic, so I might have to change the name again for the next release.

[Cannot compile MAME 0.253]

MAME? not MAMEUI? Both compile here fine.

There's been a truckload of new and invasive bugs in MAME recently, so you'll most likely get some weird things happening, especially if you use a joystick or game controller. Make sure you read the new document about setting up your controller:

https://docs.mamedev.org/advanced/ctrlr_config.html

If MAME crashes, then most likely it will take down the frontend with it.

 

The support for arcade.ini, console.ini, computer.ini and othersys.ini have been removed from MAME, and so these files will be ignored. In MAMEUI the support of arcade.ini was restored.

In MAME, the files arcade.flt and mess.flt were deleted, however you can create your own and it will work as before. The only difference is that you need to maintain them yourself instead of being done by the developers.

There's a new development branch being created for MAMEUI - it will have a new name (suggestions?) and a lot of improvements. It's not a priority though, so it could be many months before you see anything.

In the meantime the old worn-out MAMEUI has been rebranded as "Classic" - it will require GCC 10.1, and will only get updates to keep it working. There won't be any new features. The release schedule is (at this time) expected to be every 3 months.

As always, do NOT post questions about anything at reddit - all you'll get is insults, plus bonus lies about me. Save yourself the angst and ask here or at mameworld.

[Greetings]

Welcome to the forum.

In answer to your question, there's no 252 release because of a number of reasons.

1. It's too hot (wait for summer to end)

2. Official MAME has too many bugs at present, it would make ARCADE look bad.

3. There's been no real progress in arcade game emulation since the last release.

4. The current release schedule is approximately every 3 months, more or less.

Please ask any further questions in the ARCADE sub-forum.

[Experimenting with WinUI]

Yes, but they can be loaded into MAME as loose software, or if they are fussy you can update the software lists with them. MAME isn't locked into software lists exclusively. Alternatively, FBNeo has a lot of homebrew console roms enabled.

Besides, in the end, I don't want to spend time on it. Sorry.

[Experimenting with WinUI]

HBMAME is for homebrew arcade. That's its purpose. I'm not sure what else you're expecting it to do.

 

[Experimenting with WinUI]

Instead of working on this, what do you guys think of the idea of transplanting ARCADE64's frontend onto HBMAMEUI instead? Would that be something you'd prefer?

 

[Experimenting with WinUI]

I'm not interested in an external UI - there's heaps of them around already.

Using the internal join gives access to all kinds of things, and there's no need to rely on messy xml interfaces that lack important info.
