Yes, it just means you can't throw all your CHDs straight into the roms folder. They need to each be in their own subfolders, named after the game or parent.

May 19

No. The delay in official Mame was only because the person doing the release had a bunch of real-life issues, which were more important.

MAMEUI has not been touched since the tag.

I doubt he'll see this, but you never know...

Yes, that is the intention. However, with still no word of a release of 0.221, all future actions are undefined.

Another good release

I use short names quite a bit for various things. There's a small trap with them, but it's not really a problem.

If you move a file with a long name to another folder, its short name can change. Also, most likely if you delete and recreate a long-named file.

But that kind of thing shouldn't affect you.

I've had fun with utf8 and utf16 conversion in my frontends too, but it mostly just seems to work. I haven't had to think about it for a while though.

And for font names, it's another one of those things that Microsoft changes for the sake of change, and just to be annoying I suspect.

The official release of Mameui64 on mameui.info does not happen until after the official release of MAME - and who knows if that will ever happen. The person who does that job is tied up in real-life matters, and we've heard nothing from him for a week.

The executable used on the official mameui is the one I've created above, so go ahead and use it.

Cheats is part of MAME, so yes, every derivative supports them. However, it isn't something I use. Hopefully someone else will know.

Got my new machine running, so we back on air. Unfortunately it has Windows 10, which is riddled with bugs and runs at half the speed of windows 7. Still, there's no other choice these days.

Agard, I checked out zr107, and it's exactly the same as in MAME. Also, I ran them side-by-side, and it's all exactly the same. Even the slight speed difference from before is gone - they run exactly the same in every way. So, there's nothing I can do for you.

Well, in the last few days toilet paper has reappeared on the shelves. Next week restrictions will start to be rolled back.

Most of our deaths came from just 2 places - a cruise ship that was allowed to dock and let the passengers off without being checked; and an infected person who stayed at work in an aged care facility.

However it seems there will be some permanent changes. Social distancing is here to stay which causes behavioral changes all over the place. There's no word on when (or if) travel to other countries will resume. I can't really see cruise ships ever coming back, as they are nothing more than floating incubators.

We've had a total of 96 deaths in our country, so far.

The real culprits, China, have been behaving like entitled big babies. They have been busily cleaning away any mentions of the disease on their internet. Anyone who wants to sue is visited by the police. Lawyers disappear. Anyone who wants to publicise what's been going on gets locked away. You can be sure that the entire episode will soon be a taboo subject in that sad country and be erased from history just like previous crackdowns. Several countries want an investigation into how the virus started. China won't allow it, which is a sure sign that they are hiding something. Aren't you glad that you live in a country where free speech is allowed?

Unable to replicate.

Yes that's always been possible. Just add another directory in with the roms directories.

For example, mine says E:\MAME\ROMS;G:\CHD

so the roms are in E:\MAME\ROMS, and the chds are in G:\CHD

Unfortunately my dev box has just expired, and it will take a while to build a new one with all these virus lockdowns and so on.

However, once things are back in order I will remove any hacks from that driver.
