As most of you know, various members of MAMEdev like to expound on the legal situation now and then. Since nobody knows any better, everyone assumes that the statements are correct, right? Right? WRONG! Well, about half right. Nobody from MAMEdev has ever taken legal action against anyone, and most likely never will. It would need to be personally funded - there's no company account here. Who in their right mind would do that, for a hobby that has no income, and therefore no damages? Since legal action won't happen, they (the "3 stooges" in particular) resort to bullying, lying, trolling, influencing, cancel-culture, and doxxing to get their point across - even if it has no legal basis. Some of the things they do verge on law breaking in some countries. This series has 3 parts: 1. About MAMEdev 2. The trademark 3. The license Disclaimer: Like all of MAMEdev, I am not a lawyer. However, unlike them, I have spent the last month intensively researching the situation, and have uncovered a number of unpleasant surprises, both for me and for them. In some cases, the required information hasn't been found, and so I've taken the liberty of drawing a logical conclusion. You may wish to correct me, but you need to provide proof. Just saying something doesn't make it so. Trolls will of course be banned. Don't depend on any of this as legal advice. You should always get the opinion of your lawyer/attorney first, before using anything here.

OK, those things are in the dipswitches. So the game can be played and I'll add it now. So if you want to play single player, go to the dips and choose single player. Then it will all work as expected.

After a bit more button mashing I was able to get it to play. The first problem is there's 4 settings on the screen which can't be adjusted. One of the them specifies 2 players, so therefore you need at least 2 coins in. If you know how to adjust those settings, tell me. Another bug I noticed is when F3 is pressed it's supposed to reset the game but instead it goes completely black. If the settings can be adjusted then I'll add it.

Due to harrassment and snooping by a certain individual, the ARCADE forum has been secured. To gain access, you firstly need to register, and then make one post in the Gossip Cafe to identify yourself. After that, access will be granted. Once that's done, there may be further info in the topic: If the security is modified, then this topic will be updated with the information you need. NOTE: If you make a new account, you need a real address so that you can receive a validation email (look in your Junk Mail / Spam folder). Using a throwaway address will not let you gain access, and is also not allowed. Users of gmail will still experience the issue that is explained here: We're sorry that it's come to this, unfortunately it's the way the world is these days. Enjoy your stay here.

Note: None of these links work, and have not for several years. This topic has now been unpinned.

I tried ppmc2's 2 links, there was no problems, I was able to download the files with no trouble. I used Firefox 105.0.3, with uBlock Origin installed (you absolutely must have this, to be even halfway safe on the internet). Sendspace had a tick (I am not a robot), followed by a captcha. Uptobox has a premium or free download, you must wait 1 minute for the countdown to end then click the free link twice. I won't use Chrome, as I regard it as spyware, even though it runs a lot faster than Firefox..

Glad to see that you're still around.

There's been a few ppl asking about getting the code. It's being uploaded as an archived repository now. There's conditions though: 1. Wait for the "archived" mode to appear, otherwise downloading early means you'll miss out on some files - your download will be corrupt. 2. At the end of October it is planned to be deleted again, this time for ever. Same applies to the MESSUI repo. 3. If you decide to work on it, I cannot help you. You're on your own (or find a knowledgeable friend). 4. If you succeed, I will not host it. I don't want anything more to do with it.

It was deleted a bit earlier than it should have. Don't worry about it.

MESS, MESSUI and MAMEUI 0.248.0 FINAL are released. https://messui.1emulation.com/ https://arcade.mameworld.info/messui These are the last releases of these emulators. I've decided to close these projects. If anyone wants to continue with any of them, grab the source from github while it's still there. Don't ask why this has happened.
