Doozer:

It was a pleasure.

It is now time for you to enjoy some arcade play time on your setup. Well done.

My set-ups have been such a joy to play of late! I have indeed been enjoying them!

Just (another  ::)) thing perhaps you can assist me with, as it appears that you are involved in compiling the Linux Groovymame versions... The question I have relates to the latest 0.196 build of MAME, which (for me anyway) includes a very exciting fix - correct C-CHIP emulation. The one game I've been waiting to play for YEARS (Bonze Adventure) is finally emulated properly (as far as I can tell from some quick testing, using the Windows 0.196 version). I see that you have already compiled Groovymame 0.196 for Linux, but for some odd reason, Bonze Adventure (in the Linux build) exhibits the same issue it did in prior versions (ie: broken restart points, which makes the game unplayable) - almost as if the C-CHIP fix is not in the Groovymame Linux build at all... is this possible ? Perhaps I have made a mistake somewhere while manually upgrading Groovymame under GroovyArcade... by "manually", I mean...

"Downloaded 0.196 Groovymame, untarred from the GroovyArcade command line, set correct permissions, backed up old version, and replaced executable with new one. Ensured that front end calls the correct executable"

Again, perhaps I did something wrong, but is there any way to verify that the new Linux 0.196 version includes the C-CHIP fix ?

Doozer:

Hi,

C-Chip fix shall be inside Linux build. If it is working fine with the Windows version, the behaviour should be the same under Linux. Have you updated the cchip.zip file together with the bonzeadv.zip file to v0.196?

Thanks Doozer. I should have done more testing before posting my reply... I was just so excited at the prospect of being able to play Bonze Adventure! I'll be doing some testing in the next few days. I'll keep my findings updated here. Thanks again for the response.

...I'm starting to feel like one of my clients... ( ::))... I've tried on 2 different Linux platforms, and still cannot get 0.196 running. Perhaps GroovyArcade has some strange hidden symlink to the Groovymame executable, and I've done a search of the entire disk for "groovymame" and only found one copy (which I've replaced per earlier message). I've also re-downloaded your build again to be sure, but I still see version 0.195, and not 0.196. Perhaps (again - could be doing something wrong), but is it possible that the download listed as 0.196 is not really 0.196 ?

Sorry to be such an irritation...
