SkyHighGam3r Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I imagine there is always benefits to upgrading. Why else would it be a newer version?I think a better question would be, what are the benefits of not upgrading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIMPLYAUSTIN Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I think 153 and onwards you get CAVE as standard in MAME. 163 they made a GLSL or somewhere around that number. And in 166 they brought local multiplayer to MAME. If theres soemthing your after its worth the upgrade. If not, just keep on gaming I say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyHighGam3r Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 ok....what are the benefits of not upgrading? I wasn't trying to be a smart-ass or anything, sorry if it came off that way. I just was confused by the nature of your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32assassin Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I currently have Mame 0.152 in my hyperspin arcade machine. Is it neccessary to upgrade to 0.167? If I do what are the benefits if any? go tot the MAME development website and click on a newer version and see whats been added/updated http://wiki.mamedev.org/index.php/Previous_MAME_Versions if you can't find a reason to upgrade then keep your current set up. ok....what are the benefits of not upgrading? you don't have to update your roms and your emulator. Everything should "work". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothicplsur Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Any upgrade to mame prior to 162 is worth upgrading to... 162 has the integration of mess/mame if you don't care about older consoles like Atari, segas being added I would say upgrade to at least 160, a good round number. For me I'm updated completely as it's more of an obsession to have the latest which is .166... Do I used all of what it offers no, but like I said it's being complete. or OCD one of the two.

Jayme65 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 162 has the integration of mess/mame if you don't care about older consoles like Atari, segas being added I would say upgrade to at least 160, a good round number. I'm in the same situation, coming from an 'old' mame version. Do you confirm that updating to v166 would bring atari,sega,...data into the 'mame' database? Doesn't hyperspin allow to filter those data out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I'm in the same situation, coming from an 'old' mame version. Do you confirm that updating to v166 would bring atari,sega,...data inside into the 'mame' database? Doesn't hyperspin allow to filter those data out? Upgrading your version of MAME isn't going to add games to the MAME database. The MAME database will only ever include arcade games, other systems have their own databases. However, since MAME and MESS are now merged (the emulators not the databases), that now means you can use MAME to emulate a wider range of systems. Potentially making the entire setup somewhat simpler. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
