It's all fixed for the next version. You can try out the automated build on github.

Found out what happened, but not why. Some of the default settings from mame are changed for mameui, but for some unknown reason they changed back, so causing problems for some people. I've just had to fix it up.

There's been a few complaints about that, although I haven't changed anything in that area. Of course, it doesn't happen for me. All I can suggest (which seems to work) is to change all the relative paths to absolute ones, in mame.ini, ini\mame.ini, and ini\ui.ini For example if it said "roms", change that to "C:\mameui\roms" (or wherever your mameui is installed). And most importantly, make sure that inipath is set to "c:\mameui\ini" (so it is a folder from where mameui is installed), in mame.ini and ini\mame.ini . This is a bug that can affect mame and all derivatives, but for some reason mameui is affected more than the others. There's a rework of the options system planned, although I don't know when I'll have the time to do it.

Version 0.276.1 has been released. It contains some late changes from the devs, and some other minor changes under the hood.

Ah.. yes I remember this now. You have to set your Folders directory to be the full path, for example C:\HBMAME\folders . If you just use the default "folders", it may or may not work. Same applies for all the other directory settings too. The other day I was trying to set up Arcade64 on a pc, and I had all kinds of problems until I remembered about this. Once I corrected the paths it all worked as intended.

What bug? You'll have to remind me.

Forgot that primrag2 was in HBMAME, now it's removed for next release.

Golden Axe port to Neogeo is available, as is Karnov port. I've got the P.O.W. port as well, but only on neogeoCD currently. I'll see if it's possible to make roms out of it. There's a Double Dragon One demo, also for Neogeo, that's in the current HBmame.

Yes, you are correct. It seems the function was commented out a long time ago and forgotten about. I've just restored it. When you hide the menu bar it will come back next time you run the game. The proper way is to set things up so that the bar is hidden for arcade games, but shows for computers/consoles. To make that happen, create a file called arcade.ini in the ini folder, and put one line into it: menu 0 For individual games and systems, you can right-click on the game, Properties, Miscellaneous, and adjust the checkbox "Show Menu".

I got hold of the "Double Dragon One" demo and added it to hbmame. It looks a little bit like the Taito version, but not really. I also got the Shadow Gang demo, but it's a disappointment. You only get a few seconds play before being killed. When that happens the screen goes black and the sound stops, and it seems to be game over.

There's a golden axe conversion happening too.
