I wholeheartedly agree, JG. (wow, I'm busting phat rhymez) Although I'm not sure if all the recent "offenders" read this board, but oh well. I certainly hope that none of the contributors that are UL'ing MAME 0.35 beta 13 recordings are always overwriting their old version of MAME and just using that... because if you want to play recordings back you're going to have to keep a variety of MAME versions on your HD :)(posted 9342 days ago)If a game is working perfectly in 0.34 Final, then by all means that should be used. But in the case of games added during the 0.35 Beta cycle, then it doesn't matter... just use the newest one. It's also understandable to use one of these 0.35 Betas when improvements are made in the emulation of existing games. Or, if you can show restraint, wait for the 0.35 Final to UL recordings. (yeah, RIGHT!) For now though, since Zwaxy is away, try saving yourself a little time and recording games with 0.35 Beta 12... then you won't have to put "0.35 Beta 13" in the subject, and then you'll have to go back and edit the description once the database has been updated.
On a strange note (I won't "embarass" the individual here... heh), I had someone complain that I used 0.34 Final for a recording rather than the newest beta... mainly because it screws up .CFG files, which I understand. But still, it was an odd complaint. :) (no offense man!)
