Currently Using MAME .159...which newer MAME ver. should I aim for?

[thomas3120]

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.

Last changes I noticed was improved controllers mapping (around .173) some changes to shaders (revamped options for curved screen simulation and ini folder structure). I'm currently using .175 and had to change some stuff to make it work as previous version I was using (.172), will update to 180 maybe if there're significant changes and it's not too complicated.

I would recommend to upgrade to latest version only if you don't mind investigating and adapting to the changes.
