MAME 2020 vs 2002
Haze:
Vanguard hasn't seen any recent work.
Keep in mind that the complexity of this work makes emulating the games and getting them running in some form in the first place look like 1% of the work, with this being the 99%; it's many magnitudes more challenging than the initial work and not something that's going to happen for all systems with analog sound components overnight.

Built my cabinet in 2009 so I still have mame .130. Let me know when Marvel vs Capcom 2 can be played on mame, that will be my q to update.
Howard_Casto:
Yeah updating mame isn't particularly necessary in terms of just wanting to play games. I mean it's nice to do it every once in a while when a new game gets improved emulation or whatever but don't sweat it.

2008, MAME 0.125 here. Still no incentive to update.

There are plenty. You're just choosing to ignore them, or don't have the hardware capable of dealing with them.
As I mentioned in an earlier thread, even just taking the audio improvement to the 70s/80s classics from the previous release is reason enough if you have the hardware capable. The correct sound makes them feel like almost entirely different games.
You could say the same at any point in those 12 years, and we'd be able to pick a key example from the last couple of releases at the time.
If people want to do themselves out of a world of improvements because they're waiting for one specific thing, that's of course their business, but let's not pretend there aren't massive improvements across the board because that's just spreading misinformation, and that's not cool.
