![]() I have no idea if it's improved any overall or what systems work on it, etc. I had a Mame32 based one that worked well for some things (cartridges), but it was kind of messy for discs, etc. I mean why use a half-baked Mess version of a C64 emulation if VICE works almost 100%? Mess never really had any good front-ends made for it either. I haven't looked at MESS in some time, but it wasn't making a lot of useful progress compared to separate emulators for all those years I followed that stuff. The only interest I have in a newer Mame version is that Mess is now a part of it. No, I always believed that they changed them just to screw with people 85% of the time (I mean just changing the NAMES of the roms that don't even have names for real!) That's what freeloaders/leeches get in their minds. Yeah and what new games or improvements have their been that those romsets are "outdated"? Don't you think after 15-20 years, the rom sets should be pretty damn stable by now? I'd sure as hell think so. #Openemu update windowsI still have a Windows machine and can run Window virtually, but I hate doing if I don't have to. ![]() #Openemu update macYes, it could be improved (Mame32 was where it was at on Windows), but when you've got a Mac you can't always be picky. Really, it would be nice if someone would take over the Mame OS X project. I used to chase that "got to have them all" collector routine back in the early 2000s and realized it was STUPID when I'll never play 99.9% of them. In fact, just to get Mame OS X running, I made a list of games I'd actually play and only updates the roms that needed it from that list (couple hundred at most). #Openemu update updateI've got thousands of ROMs and I don't want to update tons of them. So unless they have a rom checker that will automatically find the roms for you, I'll skip it. The MAME teams regularly FRACK with the roms and rom names and make Mame refuse to run the game even when the rom isn't actually USED in the emulation. More importantly, I don't feel like playing "chase the romset" anymore. Outdated how? If it plays the games I want to play, then it's still relevant to me, at least. There are too many similar rom names to be bothered starting more than a small rom collection that way. WTF wants to run command line games on a Mac? I like UNIX and I still don't. Why in all this time no one could be bothered to port that superior GUI to OS X and maintain it over that horrible idea of a command-line only SDL is beyond me, especially on a Mac that has been based on a usable GUI from DAY ONE. We had Mame32 on Windows for over 15 years. I had to update some for OS X, but it's not been updated since 2009 either (SDL crappy no GUI version excepted). Once they covered the games I liked, I pretty much froze my setup anyway for Mame32 so I could actually just play the games instead of playing ROM manager. ![]() MAME also has/had a bad habit of screwing with ROM formatting requirements over and over and over again and I know I got freaking sick of it (first used it in 1999). SDLMame is command line only and the only front-end I've found for it wouldn't even run here on El Capitain. Where do you set up arcade games? Or do you mean the new combined Mame/Mess that runs console games via the MESS system integration?įor arcade games, I still stick with Mame OS X as it has a very nice GUI built-in. I don't see MAME even listed as an option in OpenEMU. So now I have to rename all the files instead? At least I can automate that (Stella doesn't care either way). I thought this was supposed to make things easier? With Stella, you just point it to the damn rom directory for Atari 2600 games and BAM you're done! WTF is this making life difficult? This would take HOURS to manually set up. Why the hell do I have to click on them to approve them? It's absurd. I looked on their site for help and there's NOTHING about installing any games or anything helpful at all. I mean what else would they be? I added them to the Atari 2600 drop box. I am NOT going to add them one at a freaking time and despite "Edit" having a "select all" option, it's ghosted out so there is no way that I can see to select all of them and tell OpenEmu they are Atari 2600 games. How are you supposed to import games? I drag Atari roms into the program where it says "drop here" and it immediately comes up with "Game Scanner: Resolve Issues" and when I click on it, I see my list of roms (that all work in Stella by itself) and then what? If I click a checkmark next to one and then manually select Atari 2600 it will add to the library, but I have HUNDREDS of games. ![]()
