MESS, MESSUI and MAMEUI 0.229

[Robert]

MESS, MESSUI and MAMEUI 0.229 are released.

 

https://messui.1emulation.com/

https://arcade.mameworld.info/messui

 

Changes:

- Executable names drop the "64" suffix.

- The hack that saved slider values on exit has been removed. This is because the slider code was refactored and the result was not compatible with the hack.

- Fixed a problem with the pluginspath which could cause plugin errors in certain circumstances.

- Fixed a problem where category files could not be found in certain win10 setups (MESS only)

Since 227, MessUI 32bits compiles, but the exe refuses to launch. However mess works fine.

You're probably building it the wrong way. Firstly make sure you're not using gcc 10.2 - it doesn't work with winui.

To build messui you'll need to look at my batch files which are included in the 'messui229s.zip' file, particularly makee.bat - you'll see that it uses a different .rc file, and some things are copied around. You need to do all the steps correctly before it will work.

Robbert, what version of gcc/mysys are you using? I'm using gcc 10.2 yes, but it works perfectly with MameUI.

Will give the last try with your compiler version, otherwise I give up.

[Robert]

I'm using 10.1

[StHiryu]

Mmm the problem is that all the Msys packages I get have an older GCC, making messui to fail, or the GCC 10.2, making messui not to boot.

Tried updating the package manually and with pacman, but no way.

If you have the msys64 for windows with that GCC version and you can send me it, I could try to compile again messui from 227 to 229. Otherwise I won't compile until it gets working with the current 10.2.0. No problem since the mess only works.

No MessUI until I get a GCC 10.1 enviroment. Use Mess instead.

[Robert]

That's fine. I can't really imagining anyone needing messui 32-bit, They can always use mess or mameui.

[StHiryu]

OK managed to get working the exes on Xp again. Download them from the usual place.
Big thanks to Mr-J from Emu-France.com <http://www.emu-france.com>

NOTE: MessUI32 won't launch using GCC 9.3.0, so maybe it's not a compiler problem.

That's great that you've worked it out.

As I said, don't worry about MessUI, you have to compile it by following my scripts exactly or it won't work.
