Mame32 v0.103 plus#
Fix is to maintain two sets of data folders, two sets of Preferences, and switch them, NEVER run mixed app plus data. I confirm there's trouble caused when hopping back and forth between running MAMEOSX v0.124 vs 0.135 trouble can be slow/distorted graphics and app crashing. I have notice many changes were packed tightly across MAME v0.124 through v0.126 so this file might be needed in some specific cases. This was created by correctly merging the samples from 0.139 with those from 0.106 which all had come from ĭL #7 is cheats database v0.123 for MAME app v0.124 to use in the small chance that db v0.126 doesn't do what you want. The change in a NeoGeo game ROM usually involves altering the state of the second bank in a file with two or more banks, so either the filelen gets cut in half, or padded with all 1s/copied on itself to double in size, or, if the filelen doesn't change then maybe the state of an existing 2nd bank switches between all 1s and a copy.ĭL #6 is the one Sound Samples folder that completely satisfies every version of MAME OS X ever made (0.135 down to 0.109). Often when a NeoGeo game ROM faults upon moving from one MAME version to another, the ROM can be repaired without downloading a new one (because passing the checksum test means a repair was successful). Backup and remove any other "neogeo.zip" file in your ROMs folder rename this file to become "neogeo.zip" in your ROMs folder. This is the same file found on the MacMAME page.ĭL #5 is Neo-Geo plugin for v0.135 (and newer including the latest as of writing this). to use it, unzip and put the "cheats.dat" file into your ~home/Library/Application Support/MAME OS X/ and then tick menu MAME OS X > Preferences > General > Enable cheatĭL #4 is Neo-Geo plugin for v0.124 (and older). Quitting and relaunching always puts a stop to that (see also the menu MAME OS X > Preferences > General > Check for updates at startup).ĭL #3 is cheats database v0.126 the highest cheats file that plugs in to this app v0.124 but cannot be used with app v0.135. The first-only time either of these run, I see an endless waiting progressbar. The leftover 5% I repaired individually manually, and now I am running every title in a 230 ROM collection from within MacMAME 0.103 (the highest version for OSX Jaguar), MAME OS X 0.124 & MAME OS X 0.135. Down to 10% ROMs needing help, i found that half again the bad ROMs were easy to fix by just replacing that one NeoGeo bios file. Typically the ROMs needing to be renamed are 8 chr clones of 8 chr parents, especially when the 8 chr results ended up being out of alphabetical order, and its new 9 chr name puts them in order. v0.124 had restricted filenames to 8 chr, v0.135 introduced allowing 9 or more chr. I found that half the bad ROM files only needed renaming. I did each one manually myself, and the nice result was my one ROM library can be used in both apps 0.124 and 0.103 - next when I moved from 0.124 to 0.135 an additional 20% of my ROMs needed updating, including the entire NeoGeo series. When I moved from old MacMAME 0.103 into this MAME OS X 0.124 around 10% of my ROMs collection needed updating. And app v0.124 is very slow at parsing the cheats db, many seconds wasted every time any game launches with cheating possible.Ībility to use cheats database is broken in MAME OS X v0.135 and Release Notes fails to describe the necessary work being put in. One database cannot satisfy both these app versions. The format of the cheats database differs (ascii in 0.124 vs. These two MAME versions have many differences. The two versions here are the only ones we might want to play with they are the two most recent versions, as nothing was released between them, and updates ceased after v0.135 was released a long time ago.Ġ4 - NeoGeo splash for 330 Megabit capacity cartridgeĠ5 - NeoGeo splash for 1 Gigabit capacity cartridgeġ5 - one time, I won after using cough syrup Regarding the ui, this program "started from scratch" reinvented the wheel so to say, and the earliest versions of MAME OS X were littered with crashes, bugs, and lacking features. The final MacMAME version was 0.103u2 for PPC-only, whereas the initial release of "MAME OS X" was version 0.109 Universal Binary. MAME OS X picked up where MacMAME had left off.
