MAMEUI64 0.289.5

[Robert]

MAMEUI64  0.289.5 has been released.

 

Available at https://messui.1emulation.com

 

There's been a lot of changes, mostly to do with avoiding the possibility of buffer overruns. More to do though.

Why release now? There hasn't been a release since July, and there's no official explanation why the delay, or when 0.290 might happen. A lot of games have been improved, so you might as well get the chance to try them out.

Hi Robert,

I've used MESSUI/MAMEUI since years to make a special version with only chess emulations, the last time it worked was with MAMEUI 0.288 and the options "make REGENIE=1 PTR64=0 SYMBOLS=0 STRIP_SYMBOLS=1 -j3 OSD=messui SOURCES=...". (using GCC 13.2.0 and creating a 32bit Windows version)

Now I've tried it with MAMEUI 0.289.5 and it doesn't work anymore:

It's compiling without any errors and the mameui32.exe starts as usual, but whenever I select any chess engine the UI disappears but nothing else happens, the chess engine just doesn't start. In the Taskmanager I see that messui32 is still active (but no chess engine), and I've to kill this messui32 process also in the Taskmanager.

Do you have any idea what could be the reason? Has there any important thing changed from 0.288 to 0.289.5?

You didn't say which games you tried. I tested a few random chess games and they all started up fine.
