In Reply to: Next official FINAL release of MAME? posted by Curious on 12, 2001 at 9:28 PM:

: It's been a longgggg time (over a year now)

No, not quite a year yet.
I believe .36 final was late March of last year.

>It used to happen once the betas were getting into double digits.

Last couple of releases went to b13 before final, we are currently only at b10.

>I usually don't download the roms until a final is released.

I can understand this, since ROMs sometimes get cleaned up, or redumped in a different format between the beta and the final release. But it is nothing that a 3rd party ROM cleaner wont catch.

I recently brought my collection up-to-date from the last final to the current beta. Total additions/changes so far were just above 400MB.
You may wish to get started now. :)
