Post by: john12abey on December 01, 2022, 02:12:00 pm

Hello All,

Been long time since posting here again! Glad to be back

So I have four different versions of mame 0.73  .116  .180  .224 and all play a little different   oldest one in the cab plays the best firing and moving correctly old computer
newest version I5 computer with Xbox wireless one controller on new tv play like garbage I dont know if its the front end launchbox just found it looking at emulators again.

Question  to play most accurate version of the game what version and front end should I be using ( i did take the pole and .8 people use launch so I will switch or just compile my own?

Thanks John

As per wiki quote:
"The stated aim of the project is to document hardware, and so MAME takes a somewhat purist view of emulation, prohibiting programming hacks that might make a game easier to run at the expense of emulation accuracy." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAME

So I would think that the latest MAME is always the most accurate.
Frontend does not matter since it just loads MAME.

that is true, the latest version is the most accurate.

they made some fixes recently to fix the background stars, which were not correct in earlier versions.
