Tempest Multigame in mame?

[taylormadelv]

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this, perhaps someone can redirect me to a better place...
It would be awesome if a new version of mame supported the Tempest Multigame. Only Tempest GL and AAE will run this rom, nothing else will work. Vector Breakout is really, really cool.
Here's the CAESAR entry; http://caesar.logiqx.com/php/emulator_game.php?id=aae&game=tempestm
Any chance this might make it into a new version of mame?

I specifically states the the MAME does not emulate this game for the following reasons:

Quote for AAE "It provides for simulation options that are not available in MAME, and offers several features that are not available in MAME due to their arcade preservation charter, such as advanced hardware based drawing and motion blur."

So it is doubtful that MAME will pick it up.  Is there something wrong with the AAE emulation?

AAE has a laundry list of issues, but for me it's the instability of the application that has really bugged me. AAE crashes my dedicated AAE rig almost every time. Also, the spinner sensitivity controls will not allow things to be adjusted to an acceptable playing level for me, personally. This was an issue with AAE in general, the spinner sensitivity just would never get to the point where I felt comfortable playing Tempest or Vector Breakout.
My question/request is for the roms to be able to be played, I completely understand that any of the graphics stuff would be chucked of the window to run in mame. It's the cool graphics stuff that makes all these issues for me when I run AAE. The Tempest Multigame was a specific rom set that Tim integrated into AAE and Tempest GL and it looks very cool but has all the problems associated with AAE while running in this app.
I would love to set up a dedicated Tempest Multigame cabinet that boots directly to the Tempestm rom. It would never be as bright as AAE but I and a few others would be most appreciative to be able to run the Tempest Multigame in any capacity outside of AAE and deal with brightness and blurs as a seperate issue. I know there was an old post of someone that wanted to boot directly to the Tempest Multigame, maybe they will read this and chime in...

MisfitMAME, if I remember correctly, already supports this Tempest Multigame.

Yeah... for future reference, when a game probably isn't going to be submitted to mame but COULD be submitted to mame, look to misfit mame.

Good to know Howard but Misfit sure has not been updated for quite a while.

Good to know Howard but Misfit sure has not been updated for quite a while.

That's not strictly true: august 2010

Thanks that is better but isn't that still classed as quite a while in the world of MAME updates?
