I think that's fixed now.

I have been informed that this change won't happen this month, but in July instead.

MESSUI 0.186 and MAMEUI 0.186 have been released and is available at the usual place: http://messui.1emulation.com/ There's no release of HBMAME. If you're interested in computers and consoles, the following changes and notes may be of interest. Changes: - NEWUI: new Load Item menu: You can now load software-list items - NEWUI: Create and Load File: SWPATH now takes priority - Media View: Unmount now actually unmounts the software - Media View: Fixed problem of garbage showing when it should be blank - Media View: Fixed display of already-loaded software - Media View: Refresh on exit of emulation - Media View: Can load multiple slots before starting emulation (including software-list items) - SW Files: Fixed regression of unable to load software - SW Files: Can load multiple slots before starting emulation (single-click each item one at a time) Notes: - During the 0.184-0.185 cycle, a number of changes were done to command-line and software handling. With them came numerous bugs. During the 0.185-0.186 cycle, many of the bugs were squashed but many more remain. These can cause issues such as crash at start of various machines. When a crash of this nature occurs, it takes out the frontend as well. - A big change was made a few weeks back which killed off all the winui builds. Luckily the change was reverted which is why we can make a release today. However, version 2 of the change will be trialled in a week or so, and if accepted winui will die once more. If this happens, it will take at least a few months to repair the damage. And, that's even if I feel like doing something. You have been warned! Also, I'm going on a holiday for 2 weeks so I won't be able to answer any questions for a while.

I'm sad because I'm the only oldie left.

The change that caused the trouble has been reverted, so we are, for the moment, back in business. However, the change may come back after being reworked. We'll see. EDIT: Looks like it will be retried, but not until after 0.186 is released.

The same developer just put in a change to the way options works, which means for our purposes it is completely broken. The only way around is to do a total rewrite of the options & inifile system to suit us. However I don't have the motivation right now. This means no more MESSUI, MAMEUI, HBMAMEUI and ARCADE. If better news comes along I'll post it here.

I tried sms and the emulator crashed, so I deleted the ini and stuff ran. However there are problems (even though it was all good just before release). So I'll have to get that particular dev to try to get it working once and for all.

Do you have an example? One of the developers did a lot of breakage to the software loading during the last cycle but I thought it had been fixed.

I've hidden the fas forum until such time as the Battle System comes back - if it ever does. Still waiting for someone to remove the rubbish that appears when you post in an existing thread.
