Reading this, I'm glad to say that I've stopped at version 37b12. All the games comming out now I've never heard of so I've decided that I'm stopping at b12 and it looks like I've done it just in time. I've got Advanced mame working perfectly and I can play all the games I like so I'm set. Sorry to see that dos is going to leave though.
Game on!! Brian
: I'm sure by now everybody will have read this on retrogames but i thought i'd mention it anyway.
: Quote from retrogames:
: DOS MAME Going Away? - I have just learned that Nicola will now be using the new Win32 port (as mentioned on MAME WIP) for official MAME development. According to Nicola, this will become his development environment starting with the next Mame beta (e.g. the DOS port will be included but only given minor testing). Also, not mentioned on the WIP page, but Bernd Wiebelt ported the command line interface code from x-mame to the new MAME32, and it sounds like some of this code will move into the core. This will allow a more common CLI among the various MAME ports. As a front-end author this is a greatly welcomed improvement, many thanks to Bernd for doing this! - chris
