Unofficial mame versions (snkmame)

greenspun.com : LUSENET : MARP Editors : One Thread

BBH where do you get snkmame? speaking of corse of mgm's latest recording of kof98 which i can't get to playback...

and another topic: should we allow non standard versions?

For: less versions to keep track of. more likely to find archived official versions vs. unofficial.

Against: limiting players who can't use certain versions. mac official versions don't usually work with dos or mame32 (sometimes xmame), nobody has a mac to playback the recordings so it's kind of hard to say "we don't allow non-standard version but macs are ok but noone will ever confirm them...."

I've never even heard of SNKame... NeoMAME yes, SNKame, no. I have no idea where to get it.

Personally I'm against using these unofficial versions of MAME, at least when it affects playback. Finding old versions of unofficial releases can be a difficult task to say the least. On a related note, over at the Japanese Eclipse site there's a Ninja Warriors recording that supposedly finishes it on one credit, but it says something about using a Japanese version of win37b11 with an ASM core... I don't know where the hell to get that, and it won't playback with DOS or regular MAME32. Kinda disappointing, I wanted to see that because it's a hard game.
