I finally updated my Mame

[rastan]

I haven't updated Mame since 1.77 so boy was I surprised when I decided to just update to the latest version (plus all the unmentionables) I never bothered to get the CHDs before so this is my first time having a complete mame... a lot of the games that previously ran slow on older versions now are playable which is amazing since I haven't updated my hardware.. so it's great to see the mame Dev's really done a lot of improvements done. I'm also noticing a lot of games that I didn't see before but I haven't updated my mame database so not really sure why I'm noticing the games now.

Anyway this post was really just to encourage people like myself that haven't updated mame in a while... to do themselves a favor and update to the latest version as well as your mame sets. (obviously we can not talk about the mame sets so don't ask where to find one)

Also if anyone can share some glsl or hlsl settings... please do

also if anyone has been experimenting with the gamma/contrast/brightness sliders... please let me know what settings are working for you and the specific games you're using them on.

HI mate

I am planning to upgrade my MAME too from 1.8 I think. Got the latest 0.216 rom and other sets. Not sure if need the software too?

How did you upgrade your Mame without messing up your existing configs?

From what I know is just extract the Mame source folder to existing mame folder and it will not include config files, etc

Please share your experience thanks

The configs will change. Although supposedly it'll update itself, I find it best to install the new version to a new directory. Then I open the new mame.ini side-by-side with my old one, and go through it line-by-line, copy and pasting my values into the new one. Sounds tedious, but it really only takes about 5 minutes.

Thank you I think you are right. Will cpy n paste is the way to go.

Uhm... honestly some systems are enhanced while some systems seems to become more and more problematic. Just check out virtua fighters kids: it now runs at 30% on my i5 4460. It's ridiculous as it ran close to 100% on my old pentium 4

Lately 0.214 and 0.217 brought some good news. 0.214 finally got a perfect cps3 emulation and 0.217 has emulated model1 co-processor so wings war and star wars are playable. Virtua fighter now is not glitched BUT game mechanic is broken as you can't grapple. Let's hope 0.218 will fix this. It is really good to finally see some work on model1.

Instead of GLSL or HLSL try BGFX with "CRT-geom deluxe" chain. Bgfx has a slightly better input lag and is less taxing for the videocard.

Finally updated to 0.217 and updated all roms/chd, etc.

But I am unable to launch games via RL , I need wait long time and after I see the bezels within second the emulator will close.

If I change back to old MAME or MAMEUIFX same game can be launched.

I doubt my module is outdated because I am seeing below error in RL

Window.WaitActive - There was an error waiting for the window "ahk_class MAME" to become active. Please check you have the correct version emulator installed for this module, followed any notes in the module, and have this emulator working outside your Frontend first. Also turn off Fade to see if you are hiding your problem.

 

I have attached RL logs

Hope someone with experience knows how to fix this issue million thanks

The official module broke somewhere around .212

You can find an updated module on the RL forums.
