Anyone into MAME?

[UTRacerX9]

Just thought I'd ask, I hadn't had a mame setup for several years but still had a couple emulators on my comp with a few games, but recently decided to go and build a full on arcade cabinet to put in my game room.

However, looks like the last few years have had a lot of changes to the program, and I'm having difficulty finding games that even work with the current version (0.144.)

Can anyone tell me a good, stable version that have available roms out there? I am only having about a 30% success rate with the games I find. I was thinking maybe dial it back to version .141 and see if that works with most games?

Let me check my Media PC out tomorrow and find out which version I am running. I have a complete machine already built pretty much for this.

Thanks, the last version I ran was like .122 or something, and it ran Street Fighter 2, Galaga, Strider, etc. The version I'm finding out there now, the games don't populate in MameUI after putting them in the roms folder, no idea why.

thread highjack, because someone here might know. Does anyone know where I can find a current working version of MUGEN and content to download for it. For those who don't know, it was a fighting game emulator that let you import your own characters and stages. You could basically have hundreds of characters from different games as long as it was a 2D fighter. Imagine all your favorite fighting games in one. I used to have it on my old desktop, but when the hard drive crashed I lost everything.

Go to mameaddicts.com and PM madmorro, he has a screenshot of his Mugen games as his sig and can probably tell you/give you the files.

I'd also like to build myself a cabinet.

I use Mame32 0.72 out of my 1962 Roms, the built in audit reports that 1627 are "good to go" with the Mame that I have and out of 192 sound sample files, 184 are good to go as well.

If I ever played it I have it and then some.

[UTRacerX9]

Do you know what the latest game that .72 can play? Can it play Killer Instinct? Mortal Kombat? Does it allow you to run Daphne games?

I bought this kit... NorthCoast Custom Arcades - Your one stop arcade cabinet building and arcade games resource

After looking into just how much the wood and materials were going to cost me to build it myself, not to mention the time and mess, buying the cabinet kit seemed the best way to go. Then I got an X-Arcade tankstick for my controller. (I'm building a custom controller as well, but that is on the backburner right now.) Add a tv with power return, and an old computer, and you're good to go.

Here's some pics of mine (no bezel around tv or marquee yet as I can't decide what to go with.) Marquee lights are wired up, as is the coin door and buttons, with two speakers and sub for sound.











The last is one of the games I do have working, Superman. Never was able to beat it in the arcade, cost way too many quarters LOL.

HAHA that is badass. I have not played in over a year, but my last, working version appears to be .91.

Since we are on topic, does anyone have a GOOD version of "The Outfoxies" with working audio? I was never able to find a perfect rom. GI Joe, Blood Bros, and Cabal were all pretty addicting shoot-em-ups/shooting galleries.
