As far as forum problems go, it seems that you're able to attach files and set up your avatar, so the immediate problems are solved. I can only suspect you need 10+ posts before being allowed to do those things, although I can't prove it.

Raine 0.64.6 has been released. Read the full changelog thread --> HERE.

Congrats on the new release.

raine.1emulation.com/archive/dev/archive/dev/zlib.7z is certainly a 404. It says /archive/dev twice, if I remove one of them, it then says 403 Forbidden.

Until now I had never heard of Palemoon. Looks like it's a customised form of Firefox. The only things I can suggest are 1. Try another browser - the latest Firefox works fine on XP. 2. Report a problem at the Palemoon forum. 3. Use a different theme - click on 'Change Theme' at the bottom of the page.

I don't know of a png size limit, but then again i've never closely examined the code. I do know that 32-bit png's cannot be displayed, you must use 8,16 or 24 bits. That might be your problem. Back to shaders, it looks like opengl only has a few switch settings and no sliders? is that correct? HLSL on the other hand has heaps of sliders, and I see no value in having them in the front-end where you can't see what the sliders are doing. If you can tell me more, and it sounds simple, I might be more interested in adding switches sooner.

I'll wait till SP1 comes out, to let the more serious bugs get fixed. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/06/30/windows_10_wi_fi_sense/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/08/03/windows_10_privacy_defaults/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/07/31/rising_and_ongoing_cost_of_windows/ http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=6044048 http://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-responds-nsa-controversy-were-not-spying-you (this last one followed the revelation that when microsoft found a bug, they informed the NSA so they in turn could spy on you for a while before microsoft released a windows update patch).

Good to see you here. The bug issues are gone, but I'd like to try adding slot options to MESSUI, if I can figure it out. One thing to remember is that MESSUI is my personal built which I make available to the public. I personally have zero interest in shaders and all that stuff, I turn off all filters and use razor-sharp pixels. If I was to add shader support it would be at the bottom of the priority list. In other words, it might happen, but don't hold your breath.

I don't have any machine to upgrade from, also the lack of security worries me, where half the OS is stored on cloud servers. Also they know all your passwords and share them around with whoever they see fit. I *might* get it for a machine that isn't on the net, if it's able to be done.

I've uploaded fixed versions (they are at current git level, not base 0.164) of MESSUI. Fixed bugs: - Main game window columns get scrambled when modified - Snapshots not multi directory in Directories dialog - SW Files shows multiple Filename column - Should fix report of NEWUI not working when run under MESSUI (I didn't see this bug myself though). Get them at http://messui.1emulation.com/

MESSUI now has all of mame and mess, so it uses mame.ini (I hadn't actually realised that, but if it has mame in it, then it must use mame.ini). Media.. says media for me. Multiple directories can be seen in the Directories menu. Nothing to do with filters.

I think pretty much every arcade emulator does that now.

Hi huggybaby, I've reset your password and sent you a PM.

All I can suggest is to get yourself an avatar... May I be the first to officially welcome you here, have a good time

Your first post after 7 and a half years? wow, and welcome

Seems ok here. I went to reply to your PM but unable to log in due to maintenance mode. Glad to see things are working out.

Not a lot this week... * Yanese 0.78 - http://www.yanese.com/ * MasterGear 3.3 - http://fms.komkon.org/MG/ * Mame Classic Fe 7.4.0 - http://mameclassic.mameworld.info/ * Hiscore.dat 0.163 - http://highscore.mameworld.info/latest.htm

For MESSUI only, we need to explain software folders, how to configure them, and what kind of software goes where. There are 2 kinds of software: * SW Items: These are listed in a software list. Software lists are found in the hash folder. You can normally download the items listed within, from a torrent site. They should come already sorted for you, but if not, use a rom manager such as RomVault to do the job. You need to tell MESSUI where to find these files. Let's assume you have saved them into E:\software\game\*.zip. You would add an extra folder to rompath_directories in your Basic or Global ini, (e.g. E:\software). In MESSUI you also add E:\software to the directory called Software List Base. Inside E:\software, there's no need for you to create folders or files, it is automatically handled by what you downloaded, or organised with RomVault. * SW Files: This area is for the left-over software that isn't in a software list. Create a base folder for it (such as E:\DATA), and under this, a folder for each system with whatever naming convention appeals to you. (e.g. E:\DATA\Atari\Jaguar). Again, you need to tell MESSUI where this data is. In Options, Directories, Software File Base, set this to E:\DATA and save. Then right-click on the Jaguar system, Properties, Software, navigate to E:\DATA\Atari\Jaguar and select it. Save this. Continue doing this step for any other systems that interest you. Make sure to always exit and restart MESSUI after making a bunch of changes, to ensure that nothing is lost.
