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.

Quote from the author: And.. after updating the rom hashes yesterday, now I have to do it again with this new version...

I had added this to HBmame when it was first announced, back then there was only a .neo file and a CD. I had to split up the .neo file manually to make a proper rom set. But now the release contains roms, so I'll use those and throw out the ones I made. I'm completely hopeless at this game, not able to even finish the first level, so if there's graphics problems later I'll never know about them.

Since they took so long, I decided to make a new release of MAMEUI - 0.273.1 Extra changes: - cdibios: fixed crash at start [MT9037] - vp415: fixed regression and crash at start [MT9024] - svision: fixed crash at start if no cartridge [MT9017] Happy New Year 2025.

They are just late as usual. If it was skipped they would make an entry at mamedev.org (like last year), and my version would have been (0.272.2). I did it early (well, on time), because of hot weather that started today which may go on for weeks, too hot for my poor little computer.

MAMEUI64 0.273.0 has been released. Available at https://messui.1emulation.com Changes: - Removed option to change clone colours - it hadn't been working for a long time. - Fixed crash in mononcol if no cartridge used. - Fixed quickload in jaguar which had been crashing for the last few years. Many games now playable. See hash/more/jaguar_quik.xml - Got rid of annoying popup messages in supracan. Please note that gameinit.dat which previously only contained arcade-related info now additionally has console, computer, and pinball information.

It's been noticed that the clone colour menu option doesn't do anything. This is because the listview (the main game list) was originally written for NT4.0 and broke in the newer compiler (after 10.1), so it had to be rewritten in accordance with Microsoft standards. This new code doesn't support alternative colours per line, that's why it didn't work. The menu option has now been removed.

Ah yeah, mess/messui officially died over 2 years ago, but you can always compile your own, or you can use mameui and turn off the arcade side. May as well lock this too, since there's no point having it open any more.

You mean as another category on the left side? You can already do that. Take a copy of an existing one, rename the copy and put whatever you want in it. So for spinners call the new file Spinners.ini, and populate it. The file must be plain ascii, not utf8 or any foreign language stuff.

MAMEUI64 0.272.0 has been released. Available at https://messui.1emulation.com The only major change is the ability to get proper crash dumps in case something goes wrong. Most people can ignore this, but if you think you can help with tracking down problems you must start MAMEUI with a redirection parameter. For example: >mameui > crash.txt Various internal things will be written to crash.txt which can be ignored, but should a crash occur, the dump will go into crash.txt as well. The dump uses the new file mameui.sym which has been included in the download package. When a crash occurs, MAMEUI will appear to freeze for about 60 seconds, before exiting. No need to panic. If the freeze goes on for too long then you can terminate the process.
