Version 0.195 is scheduled for February 28th, although hot weather may cause a delay. This will be 64-bit only. There won't be any more 32-bit builds. The reason is that there are now so many Neogeo hacks that a 32-bit compile runs out of memory while trying to process them all. At the moment the Neogeo driver is split in half, but soon it would have to be split again as it grows. This is cumbersome and messy at the very least, so 32-bit will have to end. 64-bit does not have this problem. The new 64-bit executables will not have the 64 at the end; they will just be hbmame.exe and hbmameui.exe

MESSUI 0.193 and MAMEUI 0.193 have been released and are available at the usual place: http://messui.1emulation.com/ There's no release of HBMAME. Changes: - The download of MESS and MESSUI is now a full package with all needed files. There's no need to download MAME as well. Note that the release of MAME is delayed due to an issue with bgfx. I didn't wait around for a fix, so it's recommended to use D3D at this time.

MAME32 is now called MAMEUI, it does what I need. I haven't tried any others recently. A long time ago I tried QMC2, it was fine for arcade systems (HBMAME for example) but a bit overcomplicated when it came to consoles and computers.

Well, since I created this thread, there's been no more outages. However none of the server admins has logged in for a while which lends credence to the theory that the place is running on autopilot. As to what actually caused the problem, nobody knows.

It's hard coded.

MESSUI 0.192 and MAMEUI 0.192 have been released and are available at the usual place: http://messui.1emulation.com/ There's no release of HBMAME. Changes: - You can right-click on a game and get the contents of the "history" panel into Notepad. This lets you have both the game and the notes on the screen at the same time. - The download of MAMEUI32 is now a full package with all needed files. There's no need to download MAME as well. - Added extra picture tabs for Bosses, ArtPreview and all the others that come with MAME's internal UI. You need to download and install MAME 0.192 before installing MESS/MESSUI.

In theory, yes I believe so. In the last 2 weeks it was down 98% of the time for me.

Why is this happening so much lately? It affects every site on the server, and is the new "normal" condition. It's only luck if access is available, most of the time it's broken.

Due to the extended downtime, which may or may not ever get resolved, future emulator releases will be at github. You can also log bugs there. MESSUI: https://github.com/Robbbert/messui MAMEUI: https://github.com/Robbbert/mameui Reporting bugs (for both): https://github.com/Robbbert/mameui/issues General talk can be done at Mameworld as was done previously. If the problems here can get resolved, then we'll stay.
