Another plus is its always accessible if your front end goes tits up. --- End quote --- Hmm. That's something I didn't know! You learn something new every day. Thanks! (Hey oyama82, see what asking questions gets you?) ;D |

Why would you choose to go with MAMEUI vs. the current version of MAME with a nice front-end? --- End quote --- Please keep in mind that I'm trying to answer your question without having tried-out any other front-ends: 1) Good Enough: MAMEUI shows me a list of games with screenshoots. I click on a game it starts... 2) Laziness: No research or initial setup required. 3) Fear: Other front-ends seem to come and go. I *think* that I can count on MAMEUI to always be there. - Mark |

you can run frontends via MameUI (it just has the gui...simpler for us noobs) You have some people here that update every version and then you have some that update every 10 versions....if you go to the Mame site, you can see what works and what doesnt in the "whatsnewtxt" I use version 129 and i have'nt had any need to update....yet I think that ( pardon me im rusty here) after version 117 certain games no longer needed samples in the sample folders...sound quality was improved/degressed (sound for dkong sucks) Also depending on your system determines if you can play the games...I have a P4 and Carnevil/Tekken are choppy...Gauntlet Legends I think is still shot ( lot of people use the Dreamcast emu version)... i basiclly told myself i wouldnt update till Star Wars Trilogy was playable...(God knows when that would be) Do a search for "updating" this topic has came up in the pass discussing this.... |
