Hey, this will be a useful reference. I did the DK plugins but am soon to be looking at other scripting projects for MAME.
There are some bad links above with hxxps instead of https. Please update.
Thanks.

I will not, because Arcade-Controls forum software wants to automatically embed the YouTube players. Unless there is a way around that?
I don't think a forum post with close to a dozen YouTube windows within it is very nice looking, especially when the meat is in the links! It's also not very friendly to ancient computers. As I said in the footer, copy the URL to another tab and fix the hxxps -> https protocol.

Does anybody have this plugin installed and MAME configured in a way that doesn't cause MAME problems/errors/crashes outside of Defender? :dizzy:
It does work for Defender in MAME 0.231 and 0.238 if I use the steps below, but "plugins 1" in mame.ini + this plugin enabled can cause problems with games other than Defender (unless the workaround mentioned below works) and AFAIK it will cause problems with MAME's built-in UI. :banghead:
1. Download MAME and do a fresh install. I put it in "C:\MAME_defender\".
2. Copy/paste the defender ROM into the roms folder.
3. Download the .zip file for the plugin and copy/paste the defenderlr folder with init.lua and plugin.json files into the plugins folder.
4. Generate a fresh mame.ini ("mame -cc" command) then verify that it contains "plugins 1" and the paths are good for inis and plugins.
5. Make a defender.ini containing "plugin defenderlr" in either the ini folder or the same folder as the MAME executable.
6. Launch MAME.
7. Enable the defenderlr plugin in the MAME user interface "plugins" menu.
8. Exit MAME.
9. Create a .bat file or shortcut link for "mame defender". Use that file/link to launch Defender.
If you run the MAME 0.231 executable without the ROMname, MAME's built-in FE throws an annoying error that you can work around it by closing the error window and choosing "Select New Machine".
If you run the MAME 0.238 executable without the ROMname, MAME doesn't get past a black screen and hourglass icon before . . . eventually . . . timing out and crashing. :angry:
Possible labor-intensive workaround:
- For other games, it looks like you can use a .ini file containing "plugins 0" (plugins disabled) and launch the game from a .bat file or a shortcut link without a problem. (tested using Asteroids)

I tested OK in mame 0238 when using the plugin files downloaded from github at https://github.com/AaronBPaden/defenderlr.git
Defender plays really well!
I'm simply launching mame with
--- Code: ---mame defender -plugin defenderlr
--- End code ---
I get problems when using the files downloaded from the Google Drive. These files appear to be out of date. The author has since made some enhancements on github to verify that you are running the defender rom during initialisation.
Scott - Can you replace with github files and repeat your tests.
