Newest MAME issues

Post by Kurt_ » Sat Jul 07, 2007 8:30 am

Well I recently got MAME32 v81b. The latest release, I think. Using the same set of roms, some of the games (a bunch of the ones I liked) can't emulate protection anymore, and some don't even show up.

What do you guys think? Did I just get an older version?
Hey, sup?

Well, don't use the newest version then. Seriously, what could be so awesome about the newest MAME that you absolutely have to use it right away? Besides, the protection methods are also copyrighted, so more than likely there will be new ROM sets coming out which will include the protection patches. That way, the makers of MAME aren't doing anything illegal, and you, the user without any real hardware, are doing all the illegal stuff yourself.
Emulation isn't accurate. There is no substitute for real hardware!
