sdlmame on Linux
Standard MAME on Windows

Latest of both.

Custom compiled MAME 0.122 (haven't played MAME for a while since my gaming laptop died) that has high score support and completely removes all the loading/error messages + the white frames. Looks better in my cab.

Mame v0.68 with MameWAH for the frontend. Plays more than half the games at full speed on a PentiumIII 650mhz.

MAMEUI32 0.126u4

Recent, works flawlessly

mame 126 command line, and advmame.

Just another question, where have you downloaded the scanlines.png file to emulate the scanlines in the newer versions of mame? Or have you created one yourself?

Thanks to all

Make them yourself. Mame was changed the way scanlines are rendered in v110 or so and now you need different overlay graphic depending on your screen resolution.

MAME 0.127 with Mame Plus on Desktop, Gamex on cab.

Get MAMEUI32, it comes with several options.

You can just take them out of the artwork folder and use them with your version of MAME.

SDLMAME on Ubuntu Linux. Grab the latest (stable/non-u) version on each release.

Downloaded from here: http://wallyweek.altervista.org/

wolfmame. You can upload wolf replays to MARP or TG or other sites.

mameplus_bin_x86-0.127-20080820

WolfMAME was just not setting up for me...no UI, and I will only use the latest version (not the ancient one which was the last with a UI).

MAMEUI32 0.127

I just update with every full build (i.e. no 0.127u1 for me).

Mame32fx

For the auto-fire. If it wasn't for that I would still use command-line.

How does this one compare with mameplus or MAMEUI (formerly MAME32)?

Use frontend.

If you don't like the idea of using a flashy frontend (you prefer the look of the built in GUI) you can use this:

I just started using mameui32 0.127 and... it's not saving my high scores. I have that highscore.dat thing but that didn't help any. Can anyone give me a tip?

destructor · Post by **destructor** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 8:53 am

MAME don't use hiscore.dat never more probably. I think save states replace it. I'm not sure.

cools · Post by **cools** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 10:21 am

Save states do indeed replace hiscore.dat. Non-hackery wins

themachinist · Post by **themachinist** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 9:44 pm

so you're saying i should save state when i get a new high score. then when i play again load that saved state and play from there?

emphatic · Post by **emphatic** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 10:20 pm

Or... you can compile your own MAME build with the good old high score support: http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?showtopic=4375
