Re: Old versions of mame are getting impossible to find

Ah! Those tags looked empty from the top level view. It is much appreciated. I should be able to find the tools I need.

Hopefully, most dmame recordings will playback in mame32 of the same version. We shall see.

Re: Old versions of mame are getting impossible to find

Thanks, but it looks like MAME v0.100 is the oldest binary available on their site. Even source doesn't appear to be there for earlier releases. This site has v0.30 to v0.37, not including m35tg3b. Looks like I need to stick to wolfmameplus-106 or newer.

Old versions of mame are getting impossible to find

I was going to playback a older inp which specified dmame 66. I assume mame/mame32 v0.66 should work just as well in most cases, but when I try to get it from mamedev.org the link no longer has the executable. The local link, and extensive google searching also fails. I hope compiling isn't the only...

Re: xwolfmame 0.106 TG compatible

The issue with wlf files is a matter of variable alignment. More that it differs between the standard Linux version of GCC and the MinGW32 version of GCC. Basically, under Linux, the compiler adds padding between certain variables in a structure so that they are located at a point aligned on a 2, 4...

Re: xwolfmame 0.106 TG compatible

The wlf file version info, options, file size and contents in the available diffs are very different than the longstanding wolfmameplus-106, and thus not accepted at Twin Galaxies. That's the story here. I suppose the INP header is only different in the version number from xwolfmame-104, but since t...

Re: xwolfmame 0.106 TG compatible

http://wolfmame.marpirc.net/xwolfmame-0106.tar.bz2 -- Uploaded back in 2008, but it's really only designed for playback. Recording is possible, but can be problematic. More recent SDL versions are recommended, and a gazillion times better than crusty old X-MAME. I was on the thread when you posted ...

Re: xwolfmame 0.106 TG compatible

I can't upload the 9.3MB zipped binary, so imagine if you will that such a version was out there. Would you use it?

Re: Hitting "tab" in Wlfmame 106 doesnt show playback Normal ?

Thanks. 0.128 didn't work, but 0.129 did. I had mixed feelings about the regression. It made it harder to playback the INP, but at least you always knew what settings were in use. There needs to be an easy way to display the settings in use, and since the available options change with each game, it ...

Re: Hitting "tab" in Wlfmame 106 doesnt show playback Normal ?

I can assure you that whatever DIP switch settings were used during recording, are used for playback also, as DIP switches are consider input ports, and are stored in the INP file. Has this behavior changed intentionally? I did a quick test with wolfmame-0128-linux32. I set dkong to start with 6 pl...

Re: USA presidential elections

I sounded like conspiracy theorist, no? Yes you do. It's one thing to say that it's possible, but another to say that it happened with no proof. To use a gaming analogy, it's like Dwayne and Robert accusing Steve Wiebe of cheating without showing any proof. It's rude. As for statistics, you can alw...

Re: Hitting "tab" in Wlfmame 106 doesnt show playback Normal ?

Not without opening the INP file up in a hex editor and matching the bytes to the input ports defined in the MAME source. I'll start adding it to my filenames when it's not default then. That'll be easier then trying to add it to inpview. All versions display an average recorded speed to the consol...

Re: Hitting "tab" in Wlfmame 106 doesnt show playback Normal ?

It will only display your current settings, with no impact on playback, or relation to the settings used for the INP. I can assure you that whatever DIP switch settings were used during recording, are used for playback also, as DIP switches are consider input ports, and are stored in the INP file. ...

Re: xmame 0.106 + wolf patches so far a no-go

This works for me on Ubuntu 8.04. Is it just for testing, and I should wait for the final version? Or is it ready to use for submissions already? Muchas gracias for the update. I'd built my own sdlmame 127 with the patches (except dipport, which is no longer valid after 126), but everyone seems to h...
