RyoriNoTetsujin:

It's too bad I'm at work, I'd love to watch those vids.  My general policy is that, when it comes to all things regarding the MAMEDevs, if you're not already on the team, it's best to just sit back and enjoy the ride...  let that Ivory Tower do all its' dark alchemy in peace and quiet...  ;D

I'm definitely of the camp that stops/stopped ROM hunting when "the must have game" becomes playable.

For me it was CPS3 emulation, so... MAME .119,  I think?

That said, Ginsu is right, it is pretty easy to maintain the romset if you so choose.

* RyoriNoTetsujin waits for someone to come back with "Hey, don't you know xxxx is playable now??"

OR when that happens, download the new MAME and just the game you wanted to play, and keep running everything else on the version you already have working well for yourself. unless, you know, they suddenly optimize the whole thing for better playability.   :lol

i'm sure there are guides here for running many versions of MAME in any frontend you like. i just use a batch file through MaLa, which is simple. i'm at MAME .128 and later installed .99 just to get a handful of things running better.

Yeah, I'm running .127 and .84 from the same list in Mamewah. Some games, like Defender, play easier in an older version because of control hacks.
