PLUGINS src/frontend/mame/mame.cpp line 174,184,195: If there's a problem with a plugin, MAME will crash. This has been changed so you get a console message and things continue without it instead. src/frontend/mame/pluginopts.cpp line 77,83: don't crash if bad plugin.

LUA STARTUP src/frontend/mame/luaengine.cpp line 462, 540, 922, 927, 933: If LUA is unable to initialise itself, MAME will crash. This has been changed so that LUA will be disabled and the emulator will run without it.

MOUSE CAPTURE src/osd/windows/window.cpp line 668: MAME can grab your mouse and not let it stray outside the window. The pointer might disappear as well. This is not how a well-behaved windows program should work. The line has been commented out. If you want to keep the mouse in the game, run full-screen instead of in a window.

CDROM HANDLING src/lib/util/cdrom.cpp line 2316-2320, 2444: if your cue sheet contains unsupported sounds, such as MP3, MAME will reject the CD with "unspecified error". MESSUI/MAMEUI will instead play the disk, but without sound. The remainder of the items in the cue sheet will not be processed.

UNSUPPORTED SWLIST ITEMS src/emu/diimage.cpp line 642,644: modified the messages so they don't show in MESSUI/MAMEUI. Need to find out if this can be reversed.

A2600 2022-04-27 removed this hack.

SNES src/mame/drivers/snes.cpp line 1186: if a snes cart required the bsmempak or the strom to be loaded, it would crash. Modified so that won't happen. src/device/bus/snes/snes_slot.h line 266: allow smc as a valid extension (same as sfc) src/device/bus/snes/snes_slot.cpp line 266: if a cart couldn't be loaded, say so instead of silently failing.

OPTIONS src/frontend/mame/mameopts.h line 62: added an extra method to allow different processing for parents vs clones. This is to prevent clones inheriting the parent's saved slots and software and sometimes crashing as a result. src/frontend/mame/mameopts.cpp lines 101-105: check to see if it's a parent or a clone lines 217-247: the code of the new method src/lib/util/options.h line 193: another pointer for parents (is it a left-over?)

FLOPPY SOUNDS src/devices/imagedev/floppy.cpp line 215: default floppy sounds to on, unless a driver specifies it should be off (none do) line 275: same

There's been a couple of requests for a list of changes to the MAME core that enable MAMEUI etc to run. Also, I had never kept a list and it's got me into trouble when things stop working. So here they are. Line numbers are approximate. NES src/devices/bus/nes/nes_ines.hxx line 587: If an unsupported ines mapper was found, MAME would abort. This is changed to give a message and not crash. line 687: If an unknown pcb is found, print a message and continue. line 1258: same src/devices/bus/nes/nes_slot.cpp line 823: return blank if invalid, instead of crashing src/devices/bus/nes/nes_unif.hxx line 184: if unknown UNIF board encountered, MAME will crash. We show an error and continue.

Guess he must have been watching. Beware the overlord!

1. The owner must have put that limit on due to server restrictions, he will have to decide. 2. Invision (the makers of the forum software) decided for reasons of their own to remove BB code. They are deaf to requests to return it.

For MESSUI and MAMEUI 0.243: The January revert has now been unreverted, all those files are back to what they are in mame. The tipi device is now included. In the "SW Files" tab, there's new icons and a few were replaced. So, things are back to what they should be.

MESS, MESSUI and MAMEUI 0.242 are released. https://messui.1emulation.com/ https://arcade.mameworld.info/messui The new ti99-peb-tipi device wouldn't compile (fallout from reversion 2 months ago), so it's been left out. Last month's reversion was unreverted and fixed thanks to Mamesick.

OK, it's unhidden again.

The 2nd post has been hidden.

If that had happened, I wouldn't have added the game. 1.0%, 455.1 MB, 0, 0, 10.3% works fine.

When I tried to download the new 32 and 64 bit 7z files with an older browser, it wanted to download .man files instead. Works ok on a newer browser.
