mame 137 has been released, should I get it?

Hi just went through all the trouble of compiling 136u3 w/ hi score date

Is it really worth upgrading?

From reading the update files, it seems that naomi games are still unplayable.. so I dunno

Dunno I'm still at .84....

Does it play the classics any better?

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

I use .84 and .127, depending on which computer I'm using. I'm happy with them.

I normally use WolfMAME 106 (since that's what TG requires), but I have various versions to play some games that have been added, or to watch INP's from MARP.

+1

I'm still at .119.  It works with the games that I like including SFIII series and Killer Instinct.  Anything else I like (like Blitz and Gauntlet Legends) I play on my Dreamcast emulator.

The main reason I refuse to switch is because (at least for me) it was a pain in the <smurf> to hack my mame.exe to skip the game info screens at the beginning.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Partial thread hijack on upgrading-:)

 I see a couple people listing the same versions as the one that they use. Are there any certain releases that are kind of standard ones (like .84 favored over .82 or .86) due to major updates or improvements ?
