Here's MAME 0.260 Update: MAME 0260 Database + Wheels.zip Video.zip.001 continued next post...

Don't worry, it will come back.

Would you like me to keep updating the Rom Mapping Mame_Clones.ini? Or are you requesting a monthly database/media update? The archive.org link on the first post is everything up to current 0.259 (no themes) I was waiting for the uploads section to return so I can upload the smaller monthly "MAME Updates".

Thank you jesfknkrys I didn't realize this whole time I only had a "4 Player.xml" and not a 2 player version. I updated it to match the database I'm maintaining. I retained all the genre info alterations and trimmed it to match the custom clone selection. 2 Player Games.xml I'll update it monthly.

Since I test everything the day of release, I'm always using official MAME. I actually appreciate the "nag" screens on official MAME because (for testing purposes) it shows me valuable information. After a few weeks I migrate to the RA core and apply "per-game" overclock adjustments to select games. Its mixed results but fun when I can squeeze a bit more performance out of a few games.

That's fantastic! Thank-you, that's a great example of when a clone outperforms a parent and should be adjusted in the database.

I guess the best answer is I'm only creating a database for use with Hyperspin but I understand why someone would want that info. I often alter databases/media I download here to change them to my preferences. I'm sure many do the same to my content. For the last 10 months, I test every rom from the (pleasuredome) updated rom list on the day of release. I evaluate every rom for performance and functionally then followup by checking the changelog to discover any additional updates that might expand the "updated game list" From there, I update the database and occasionally "graduate" a clone to parent if needed. Then create the new wheels, video, and (occasionally) make a few themes, make a changelog, and try to upload here before midnight. I'm trying to see how long I can maintain a consistant day-one "MAME update" schedule. It been almost a year (I even kept that schedule the last two months despite the forum being down) I admit it's not that important and trying to fit that into a single day does make it rushed. It helps keep me active creating content because I haven't had time to create full system media packs like I used. Some people like it so I keep going.

I'm using the non-merged kollonc.zip with the "kollon" folder containing both chds. I've never needed a dummy rom for standard Mame(arcade) rom/chds. I've only had to use dummy roms on systems like FM Towns Marty or Macintosh. That might be because I'm using non-merged. It booted but didn't work without some configuration. By default, it would start a 2-minute Bios Flash every time it was launched. I had to go into Dip settings and change "bios flash"-> off then it would boot normally. I tested everything listed in dummy.zip and thank you, it was very helpful! All the Big Buck Hunter games run perfectly and I overlooked when all the itech/iteagle.cpp games changed to "playable".

The additional games are mostly clones. I've been maintaining a custom database for the past 10 months. MAME 0.249 ROM Mapping (Clones) project - Graphic & Theme Creation - HyperSpin Forum (hyperspin-fe.com) I've had a lot of help identifying and adding clones: THEME CREATORS NEEDED ! The road to completion (...almost) - Requests - HyperSpin Forum (hyperspin-fe.com) A few model2 games but I've "hidden" the full list as a genre xml because they are not worth having in the main xml at this point. I've included 2/4 player clones for many games but would love input if I'm missing anything crucial. I don't feel my database is "better" or "definitive" it's just a project I maintain for fun. Thank you for sharing your database, I will look through it.

This is complete media for my MAME 0.259 database (arcade only parents+select clones). I eliminated anything that defaults to keyboard mapped controls like poker/casino or mahjong games. 4281 videos 4281 Wheels (clear) 0.259 Database I did not upload themes because I feel they should only be available here.

You tried downloading the dll I uploaded and placed it in your Hyperspin directory or you copy/pasted it from your system32?

I think you just need to place this dll file in your Hyperspin directory. sxs.dll
