Thanks for the infos. The problem is that INI file handling within the MAME core is a bit of a disaster, with the problems you see. I have a plan to modify MESSUI to get around these issues, but do not know exactly when that will happen. Hopefully soon! The proper way to setup your ini files with MESSUI, let's say you have a brand new installation with no mess.ini 1. at the command prompt, type messui -cc (this creates a default mess.ini) 2. md ini (creates an ini folder) 3. Open mess.ini in Notepad and modify whatever you want. Make sure that 'inipath' contains ini and nothing else. Make sure that the read and write options at the top are set to 1. 4. Save the file. Copy it to the ini folder. Now it should work as you intended. While the file is open, you can change a few other things (recommended). See http://messui.1emulation.com/howto.html for the details.

Hi, Thanks for all the info, sorry you had such trouble getting registered. I will look into all you've said and will get back to you.

Hi, 1. I've never used effects files, and I don't know what to expect. Can you guide me? 2. I typed in ams, and the cpc464 emulation started up. On exit, all the amstrad systems were listed. I suspect the slowdown is due to the huge number of items in the software list. I don't think that can be improved on a slow computer. Just wait a while, and see what happens. 3. My bios files are not in the usual place, and they are found without problem. Have you set up your mess.ini files (both of them) in the proper way?

MAME 0.162 was released. In this version the old MAME (arcade) has been fully merged with MESS, to create one giant program, also called MAME. * Official MAME - http://mamedev.org/release.html * MAMEUI32 - http://hbmame.1emulation.com * MAMEUI64 - http://www.mameui.info/ * SDLMAME 0.162 64-bit for OS/X - http://sdlmame.lngn.net/ * MAMEUIFX - http://mame32fx.altervista.org/home.htm * SystemPixelMAME - http://www.systempixel.fr/mame/ * WolfMAME - http://wolfmame.marpirc.net/ * MESSUI - http://messui.1emulation.com/ * MAMEPPK - http://mameppk.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mameppk/ * hqMAME - http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbrz/rss?path=/ * MAME32XT 0.161r5237 - http://www.emulab.it/p_emulators.php * MAMEinfo.dat - http://mameinfo.mameworld.info/ Other Releases * Emu Loader 7.8.1 - http://emuloader.mameworld.info/downloads.htm * QMC2 0.52 - http://sourceforge.net/projects/qmc2/rss?path=/ * IV/Play 1.6 - http://www.mameui.info/ * GameEx 14.08 - http://www.gameex.com/news/ * cmpro 4.020 - http://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/ * DCMOTO (2015-05-22) - http://dcmoto.free.fr/ * jpcsp (2015-05-24) - http://www.jpcsp.org/ * Yanese 0.76 - http://www.yanese.com/ * Xroar 0.33.2 - http://www.6809.org.uk/xroar/

Back after taking a holiday interstate... MAME Plus! seems to be having trouble with getting converted to 0.161, currently only the 32-bit command-line build is done. Also, we've been informed that EmuCR's download providers are dishing out trojans along with the downloads, so this post will be the last link to them. * MAME Plus! 0.161r5233 - http://www.emucr.com/search/label/MAME-Plus * Catlist.ini 0.161 - http://www.progettoemma.net/history/catlist.php * Hoxs64 1.0.8.8 - http://www.hoxs64.net/Default.aspx * AttractmodeFE 1.5.2 - http://attractmode.org/ * Emulicious (2015-05-17) - http://emulicious.net/news/ * Exodus 2.0.1 - http://www.exodusemulator.com/ * MESSUI (2015-05-21) - http://messui.1emulation.com/ * Pantheon 3.074 - http://bostjan-grandovec.si/Content/Download.htm * Yanese 0.75 - http://www.yanese.com/ * jpcsp (2015-05-18) - http://www.jpcsp.org/ * dgVoodoo 2.44 - http://dege.freeweb.hu/index.html

Excellent news!

Hi there Seems I forgot to include the new files from the scripts folder in the source package. I've since changed them, but *should* still work. See attached. Put into scripts\src\osd folder scripts_osd.zip Let me know how you go.

What happens when the hard drive fails? Ems, only choice if they lost their keys is to give them the choice of buying a new windows, or windows dying after a month. If you let it spring a surprise on them they'll tell everyone you can't do the job properly.

Thanks ... I wonder who reported it...

That splash screen says 1.50, however MAME 1.50 has never existed. Maybe he meant 0.150, but who can be sure what he means?
