Thanks for all your help with Github.   :cheers:

Seems like there are always typos that slip through -- just noticed that there's no step 3.   :embarassed:   :lol
- Line 55 should be step 3, not step 4.
- Line 59 should be step 4, not step 5.
- Line 63 should be step 5, not step 6.

Everything else looks rock solid.   ;D

Typos fixed in the defenderlr plugin readme.  Thanks, Jon and Aaron.   :cheers:

Please consider updating the description of the plugin, Stiletto.

Suggested updates:
- Mention support for Stargate.
- The useful info from the Reddit thread is now included in the readme file on Github so the Reddit link is not needed.
- The Google Drive link is to an outdated version.

MAME recently updated the LUA script system.

Tried to get Aaron's updated defenderlr script working in v0.254 using the steps in the readme, but no luck.

I also tried it using a fresh install of v0.257.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong or how to get the script working?

EDIT2: The script works when you launch MAME using "mame defender -plugin defenderlr", but it doesn't work when launched from MAME's built-in FE or if you change games.   :dizzy:

EDIT3: Confirmed that 10yard's version 4 of the script is working in MAME v0.262 when launched from command line or MAME's built-in FE, and also when you change between Defender and Stargate.  Not sure why Aaron's version wasn't working with MAME v0.254 or 0.257.   :dunno

Begbie80:
I also had no more luck with an install of mame 263 other than the workaround suggested (running from the command line). Hope there is a work around or update as this makes one of the most brutally difficult arcade games a little more  accessible

I've tested my fork version of the defenderlr plugin (from 2021) and all seems to be working with MAME 0.263 including when switching between roms. 
There are deprecation warnings (for start/end callbacks) but this should not effect use and retains compatibility back to MAME 0.227
