Mame is shockingly bad! That is my conclusion.

No, MAMEUI/MESSUI are shockingly bad, they hide much of MAME's functionality, even it's maintainer has given up on it!

Learn to use the internal UI built into official MAME, and all should work as expected.

I have found mameui, which i assume is the same as messui? If that's todays MAMEUI 0.248 release then that is the final release, the maintainer of that project has now discontinued it. Also MESSUI at https://messui.1emulation.com/ But now you're upto date you'll have features added in the past 2-3 ...

So, finally got my Einstein emulation up and running with MESS instead of MAME, but cannot for the life of me work out how to save a file to the disk image when using BBC Basic, XBAS, System 5 etc. Firstly, MESS hasn't existed now for over 7 years, so what version are you running? If you are really...

I was trying to spot the mention on it

The https://www.mamedev.org/releases/whatsnew_0222.txt didn't mention einstein with the fix as it was the WD1770 at fault so is documented as fix to wd_fdc.cpp.

Is the new one out yet?

Yep, 0.222 was released end of June. There should be 0.223 released any day now, but doesn't include any further Einstein changes.

Am looking forward to seeing Einstein updates in MAME, it is a sadly underlooked platform, it good to see it getting some love. A fix has been submitted which should finally allow everyone to stop using 0.191, look out for the 0.222 release! I've also added a quickload option to the UI, which allow...

I thought that this was well known - Gamebase has had a workaround for quite a while (they just use 0.191 for basic programs) I now see you've mentioned this a couple of times in this thread. It was not known to any developers, and should've been submitted as a bug years ago. The 0.191 release does...

I arent too sure about the specific games litest but any basic loader games last worked in 0.191 I wasn't aware of this issue until very recently. Can you list a few examples of titles that will only work in 0.191, and a few titles that will only work in 0.192 and later? Are there any other known i...

The Konami 4 game arcade is incorrectly dumped - IIRC Elite & Highway Encounter were also a bit dodgy Definitely bad dump, or protection related? The current Elite dump seems fine. The Highway Encounter DSK image contains the same side repeated 8 times in a single file, think I'll give that a trim!...

I'm updating the MAME software lists for the Einstein and have a few questions on various titles that I hope people more familiar with will be able to advise upon. The MAME software lists basically document all known good dumps of software and are tagged as to whether they are supported (working) or...
