So I recall on a video seeing this program that color coded your MAME games based on severity of missing files much like newer versions of MAME its self does. This program also showed you the files you were missing if you clicked on to the game and kind of displayed them kind of like windows does when you are looking to unzip something and you have to double click to go into a file and then double click that file to go into a file (wow horrible explanation), but you would double click the game in questions and it would show the files missing. Does anyone know what that program is called, or am I thinking I saw something that was something completely different?

Hello my fellow Hyperspinners The time will soon be upon us, when we try to convince our loved ones to spend more money on our crazy hobby. I've decided that I wanted to share some items on my wish list to inspire other. In the hopes that others will do the same. With black friday just around the corner, feel free to mention any crazy deals you might find around the web. (Click the titles for a link to the products!)

So RetroArch are asking for Patreons to help push them to new levels. What do you think? https://www.libretro.com/index.php/we-are-now-on-patreon/ Personally I think they deserve help. Their goals sound really cool and with the added responsibility of putting Patreons money to good use I see good things coming from them. Also I believe Patreon is by far the best way to contribute to things in our hobby, if you don't have skills to do anything else

I was trying to do a simple bezel layout myself in mame natively. I have mk.lay and mk.png in a mk.zip in my artwork file.

Well, just sitting here waiting on a file renamer to finish and thought I'd ask. Which version of MAME should I aim for? As of this post, latest is version .179. Any Major differences between my current .159 and +.179? I read a while back that XInput was added after .159? Also, lightgun support (aimtrak?) is much better? I believe on RocketLauncher forum, someone(or a few people) said they really liked ver. .175.... ..sorry just a bit bored and was wondering what you thought. t

My birthday is coming up at the end of the month and I have decided to start a yearly event where all of my friends will get together for my birthday to compete in the Super Annual Video Game Ex Hyper Edition Tournament (name to be finalized later). I am intending on creating a board game similar to Mario Party to keep track of everyone's points and to keep it a little more even as I have super game friends and my wife that is not so much. What I need is help deciding on which games to fit into each category. Once i finalize lists for 1 player, 2 player, and 4 player games, I will create HyperSpin wheels for each category and use the HyperSpin feature to select random …

I made some custom pedals for my cab and I really want to avoid using Analog Potentiometers. I found a video on youtube where someone used a Hall effect sensor(which was stationary) which was inserted in a circular magnet attached to the pivot point of the throttle pedal. Really like this idea. For the brake he used a pressure sensor. I have all the components, just had a couple of questions. I took some pictures but my iPhone is acting up, I'll reply in a few with some pics.....

Looks like TecToy, who has been a company that manufactured Sega systems in other markets, is trying to capitalize on what Nintendo is doing with their mini consoles coming out. Theirs however will be full size and able to play cartridges but does come with around 20 games like the NES/Famicome mini. Unfortunately I bet it will be crap quality like the genesis "model 3". More than I am willing to spend, will just stick with my model 2 genesis. http://www.ubergizmo.com/2016/11/sega-genesis-going-back-into-production/

I am at wits end. I went to youtube and found a tutorial by a guy names Derek Moore to make custom bezels and I have had no luck. He has templets to download to create your own art around and for the .lay files but it just is not working! I have the artwork created, I've changed the name on the lay file to match the name of the game (rom name) and I have the image file set to the name of the bezel I want to use. It just reverts to one of the default bezels. I used gimp to make the file so the transparency stays, but its just not reading the file period. Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

For anyone who likes to emulate the 64 you know it makes it very hard to play with any other controller besides an n64(gamecube wouldn't be too bad) due to the way the buttons and everything are. Some may get a el crappo usb aftermarket one or some may use a controller to usb device. Here is another option for you if you want, pricey at $50 but should be one of the best. 8bitdo has released an n64 controller, it is bluetooth just like all their others. I have a few of their controllers and must say they are very nice in quality, their snes/famicom one is the closest to oem quality I have come across. So if someone decides to get one let us know how the quality of it is, e…

Hi guys and girls, I would like to contact the guys who are able to work on feature request for the MESS emulator but cannot find the best contact could anyone help please. Basically I want to ask if they could add an option in the neogeo cd emulation to completely skip loading screens. I know this is possible as Raine has this option but the emulation in raine is inferior to mess. Hopefully someone can help me come up trumps on this. Cheers everyone.

I thought I'd write up a little review for the 20th aniversary edition(yes you're probably THÁT old) of Duke Nukem 3D. I'll keep it short though. although it's as fun as it used to be.. I'd say that 20 euro's might be asking a bit much for a game that received a new weapon a couple of new levels ..and some new lighting effects. game play is still the same. which is a plus.. although I have to admit that being used to Brutal Doom the it feels kind of clunky, and the inaccuracy of the pistol is a huge annoyance. Another annoying thing is the one sided polish of the sound.. all they did is rerecord Duke's one liners ..which and it immediatly becomes obvious when you hear…

So I am trying to get SSF set up to play some Sega Saturn games (seeing as how Radiant Silvergun decides to freeze on MAME about somewhere on level 2 after a mini boss) and I have ran into a ton of problems, all of which I have been able to trouble shoot and fix up until now. I keep getting a syntax error when trying to load or close a rom through rocket launcher. Now from trying to trouble shoot the problem on my own so far I can give this information. 1. The roms are named correctly. I had to fix this and make sure it was the right files it was reading after a million error messages from rocket launcher (and kudos to them because there error messages really help you d…
