If it's happening with MAME then you'd have to ask the developers. That having been said, I asked one of them to check and they said there was nothing wrong. However if you made the savestate with 0.279 and then you're trying to load it into 0.280, then they have no support for using a savestate between versions. In that case then it's just bad luck.

What happens with standard MAME 0.280 ?

MAMEUI64 0.280.0 has been released. Available at https://messui.1emulation.com References to "SW Files" have been changed to "Loose SW", which is the more commonly known name.

I don't have a joystick or controller, so the functionality has never been tested. I don't know what the numbers mean either. But maybe someone else here knows more.

MAMEUI64 0.279.0 has been released. Available at https://messui.1emulation.com Note: For those people who prefer to compile their own build, the changed source is not included in the download, because it was incomplete more often than not. You need to "pull to the tag" from Github. See the above site for the location of the Github repository.

The devs changed where the save-state status is stored, and how it is represented. That info isn't available to newui afaict, so it's switched on always, just like MAME itself is, via F7. I have no idea why they changed it, as it was working fine before, and there's heaps of other things that need to be fixed but won't be.

It's fixed now. Thanks for letting me know.

I've let him know about the PM. Now it's up to him.

That's a known bug in MAME (see mametesters bug 9192), and it's been fixed for the next release. It can be worked around though. Either you can stay with PortAudio and in Windows configure an input device (such as a microphone), OR go into the default global settings, Sound, and choose something that isn't Auto or PortAudio.

MAMEUI64 0.278.0 has been released. Available at https://messui.1emulation.com There's been a complete rewrite of the sound system by the devs. Please try it out and familiarise yourself with the new settings which are in each game's tab menu.
