Sorry guys, but it looks like the program is going to have to be shelved until further notice. Recent controversy over at Arcade Controls, it has just really gotten me out of the mood of developing this software.

However, if any of you need help compiling a build for your system please feel free to let me know and I could help you out in any way possible.

I will now only support compiling Mame by hand, in which case I would be happy to assist anybody with at anytime. Thanks guys! :D

Sorry to hear that Rain, this looked like a very useful piece of software for the community. It's unfortunate that whatever happened over there would sour you to the point of stopping development completely. Hopefully after some time away from it your mood will shift.

I could use your help on my compile if you have any ideas, see my post here:

Thanks

p.s.

I thought in a previous post you said that you weren't even announcing this over on that forum?

A controversy?!?! C'mon... Why does conflict like this arise on forums. You're helping the community. Having zero insight or clue as to what someone said sitting cowardly behind a computer starting "conflicts" I say do what you want. It's your hobby and your freeware and a lot of people supporting it (even though not everyone posts in the thread, we're still reading) Just my opinion, but don't let this go to waste. You're really onto something useful.

Well, maybe the program will not be discontinued - but the processes may change up a little bit. My son is the one I am currently trying to convince to get back into this project. Hopefully all will work out.

If anything Rain, the world may not be ready for your talents, but we surely are. You won't get the drama here as you do elsewhere.

LoL, that's for sure. I have been a member here for a few years now and noticed that flat out drama is not tolerated here! That is why I like the people on this forum. LoL, I only belong to two forums - one is the Unix forums, and the other is here. That's how I know I'm a nerd lol.

Read back 6 posts before your post. Rain had recently stopped production on this program.

I will be releasing a new version just as soon as I get Mess implemented into the application. Also, I am doing a little tweaking to the build system.

Nice! Glad to see it back on track Rain.

Just thought I'd throw you guys an update. I sent a version of Mess to a tester, once word get's back to me on if it runs good or not then I will make the decission on a potential release date of the application. Please, just bear with me guys - this program is a lot of work and requires thousands of lines of code to be programmed.

Thank you all so very much for your patience.

Bedtime Update:

Just got done making a neat little file download progress window. Hmm, one little window, 230 lines of code one and a half hours of programming, priceless. Ha, I wish - this project has been a major pain in the arse lol, but completely worth the time and effort that I have put into it thus far.

Despite people alledging that I ripped off some of the source code just because that they can't stand the fact that they are not the best programmers in the world (or in their minds they are) I have redesigned the whole damned program to use new methods and systems.

As an added bonus HyperMame (formerly MyMame) will be an open source compiler that is free for distribution. I hopefully will get the final builds done to the application sometime this week (perhaps on my next day off.)

I would like to thank the people that have supported this project from the word go, and I can promise you what you will be getting will be a far better Mame compiling environment than any other application out there, and a special thanks goes out to Djvj for supporting me, this project and watching my back.

Friends are hard to come by, but someone who will stick up for you is almost impossible to find. Thanks for being such a great community!

Yeah, I know before you even say it - I have decided to disable visual styles in the new application. I did this so that the program would be less resource intensive. Don't get me wrong a few small graphics will be added to give the program a little flare. However, I am more in support of functionality at the moment.

I am super excited that I now have Mess added to the system. I just wish I could get the logical system working perfectly. Oh well, hell of a start I'd say.

Thanks guys!

Anytime man, glad to help out. I know the effort you put into this and I'll be damned if someone tries to say otherwise. The jealousy that surrounds the talent needed to do something like MyMame can be staggering.

Update:

Working with ZIP libraries is becoming a pain lol. I did however manage to get the parameters library put into place. The program now detects parameters and updates the application. I am off of work tomorrow so hopefully I will get some work done on the automation side of things, that is where the real nightmare is!

I now have it confirmed that the DirectInput was a success, so that is now in the application as well. Also it would appear as though Mame and Mess are a go, along with MessUI. I am still a little unsure of MameUI though, as it could only be build using the latest Mame version.

So, with that being said - does anybody have any request before I start cranking this monster out? Any other little features that you would like to see make it into the program, anything at all? Speak now, or forever hold your peice lol. But seriously guys, I am very proud of the new version as it has a ton of neat little handmade libraries involved.

The program is way more effecient than MyMame could ever have been and the error trappying is sublime IMHO. The calls to routine are spot on, and the CRC checking have been given a major dose of steroids as well. I have also decided to go ahead and throw in a simple C++ editor that would allow you to edit an archived file by hand (if one so desired.)

I am expecting this program to hopefully be out within the next week or so. Also, on the lighter side of things I have decided to throw in a copy of my eBook on compiling Mame by hand. This is a free book and it explains in great detail the proper way to compile Mame using nothing more than a terminal. It will include instructions on how to compile on all Windows platforms as well as Mac & *nix systems.

I know that the book may not be wanted, but I just wanted to make sure that everybody whom uses this Mame compiler knows what is going on behind the scenes, and has the knowledge of creating something with their own hands, hearts & brains. After all, I am trying to provide a learning services as well.

Thanks guys, and thanks for hanging in there!

Sounds great Rain, can't think of anything else I need.

Cool work bro... will it include also atom optimalisations?

I wish that'd be cool, but sadly the Atom processor is not officially supported until GCC 4.5. However, I will see what I can do to throw together a binary package that will let you build for Atom processors. But, bear in mind that Atom would only be supported by Mame 143 and higher levels.

Thanks for the tip!

Hey guys, I just thought that I would update everybody. I have been getting alot of private messages regarding download links of the app. The app is not currently up as I am building a more enhanced version. Thanks guys, I will post an updated link as soon as it is done. :D

EDIT: Holy crap, I trafficed 13.4 Gigs of data today working on the program lol.
