Mame version .124 - Has anyone tried it?
Red:
Is there a general consensus as to which version of MAME plays BOTH the older games and the newer games equally well on a modern PC- P4 to a Athlon 3800+, 512- 1 Gig RAM? Windows XP?
I've read people complaining that newer versions of MAME don't run the older games as well and was wondering if there is a specific version of MAME that everyone seems to agree is the best version that plays the older and newer games equally well?
Or is it best to run two different versions of MAME- one for the older games and one for the newer games? Thanks.

I'm running MAME ver. 110 on a P4, 3ghz, WinXP home with 2GB RAM ... it plays everything I throw at it (well, except for Radiant Silvergun :P). The only slowdown/glitches I experience are those games that haven't been emulated correctly yet (see previous parentheses)
As such, I'm of the "if it's not broken, don't fix it" belief. That and I cant be bothered tracking down another full romset, since I already got one for ver. 110 (4o gigs worth .. sheesh!)

mame .124 broke my dual lightguns :( I can only use one of them with this release.

I am running version .119 and the Simpsons Bowling doesn't work. Is that right or do I have a corrupt rom? If my version does not run it, then what version does? I'd like to try it and people who use my arcade have wondered why it doesn't work.
Thanks!

What do you mean by "it doesn't work"? When you first start it up, you have to hold onto a specific button and reset the game in software in order to initialize the eeprom, I believe. After that, it will work just fine.
