MAMEUI64 Classic 0.253.1
MAMEUI64 Classic 0.253.1 has been released.
Download location: https://arcade.mameworld.info/messui/
The next release will be in June.
Since the demise of MAMEUI, there has been a lot of questions of a suitable replacement, however it seems that there isn't one. The only front-ends that supported software-lists (that I know of) are ended due to their authors passing on.
I've decided to begin work on a new replacement which will overcome the defects of the old, however there's no timeline or priority, so it could take many months, or even years.
In the meantime the old MAMEUI has been wheeled out and given the 'Classic' name to ease the frustration of our valuable users. The release schedule will be every 3 months.
The new replacement needs a sensible and short name, to be decided.

MAME 0.253
MAME 0.253
It's time for MAME 0.253, but before we start talking about all the exciting updates, there are a couple of things that will affect people compiling or packaging MAME. Firstly, libc++ 6 is no longer supported. You can still compile with clang 6, but you'll need to use libc++ 7 or later, or GNU libstdc++ 7 or later, for the C++ standard library. Secondly, MAME now requires Lua compiled as C++ to work correctly. This prevents the use of Lua libraries from Linux distribution package repositories, as they are compiled as C. (The technical reason for this change is that MAME requires C++ stack frames to be unwound correctly, including destructor calls, when Lua errors are raised from C++ code. Using Lua compiled as C will cause resource leaks.)
We've updated to Lua 5.4, which comes with an all-new garbage collector, giving better performance. This should have minimal impact on people writing scripts and plugins. Two of the biggest visible changes are that unpack has been replaced with table.unpack and the deprecated bitlib has been removed. While we're talking about Lua, we'd like to draw your attention to the new MAME Goodies repository, where we'll be adding additional content for use with MAME. So far, there are two plugins. One of them is sure to be useful for fans of Konami's arcade rhythm games. They also serve as example code for people looking to learn about some of the things you can do with MAME's Lua scripting capabilities.
The long-rumoured microcode-based Motorola 68000 CPU core is finally here! It's already delivering results, with a number of previously out-of-reach Atari ST demos now running. We've done some intensive testing, but there are probably still regressions lurking. Let us know if one of your favourite 68k-based games flakes out on you.
One of the more interesting systems to be dumped and emulated this month is Akazukin, a 1983 arcade game where you shoot wolves preying on a defenceless girl. There's also a game bearing the rather generic title Heroes, an early version of Data East's Mutant Fighter. We've added a few ... (Read More)

NegaMAME 0.252-2
Along with MAME and all its fork, NegaMAME 0.252-2 is also ready for download. Go grab it at https://babelsoft.net/products/negamame.htm
This MAME derivative has been designed to be used with the front-end Negatron in order to have complete access to all the machine configuration options within Negatron, especially useful for emulated computers and consoles.
This is quite irrelevant for emulated arcade games though. If you only play arcade games, you can simply use Negatron with regular MAME.
Note: 0.252-2 must be understood as the 2nd version of NegaMAME synchronised with MAME v0.252. If other issues arise with this version, I would release a v0.252-3. V0.252-1 was a bad version with a bug that couldn't compile into a binary.

MAME 0.252
MAME 0.252
After almost two months, we're ready to release MAME 0.252, the first MAME release of 2023! As promised, there are some big updates, and some of them may require you to make a few adjustments to your MAME setups. In particular, the modules MAME uses to handle input and output (e.g. video, sound and controllers) have been cleaned up, fixing lots of bugs and resource leaks.
First of all, the BGFX video module has had a serious overhaul. Numerous issues affecting artwork rendering have been fixed, and toggling full-screen mode no longer crashes. MAME now saves many BGFX video settings to your CFG files for each emulated system.
Game controller handling has also been overhauled. The downside is that you may need to reconfigure inputs for MAME. The upside is that things should work better out-of-the-box, with better default input assignments for more controllers:
• For Windows users, more XInput controllers are fully supported, including guitars, the DJ Hero turntable, and the Rock Band keyboard.
• For people using SDL builds, like our lovely macOS and Linux users, there's a brand new joystick input module using the SDL game controller API. This gives consistent assignments for popular gamepads, and allows you to supply your own button and axis assignment schemes if the defaults don't suit you. If want the old behaviour, it's still available: just set the joystickprovider setting to sdljoy in your MAME.ini file.
• For everyone, it should be easier to navigate MAME's UI using a game controller, and MAME should choose better default game input assignments for more gamepads.
Of course, we haven't stopped working on emulation. Newly supported systems include the NABU PC (a Canadian 8-bit home computer and cable network terminal), the I-Star Chess King (a Taiwanese hand-held chess computer of dubious quality), Computer Othello (one of Nintendo's earliest video games), YoYo Spell (a prototype of the arcade game Little ...

So Long And Thanks For All The Fish
https://qmc2.batcom-it.net/index.php/202...r-all-the-fish/
Hello everyone…this is Jonas, Reneś son.
It saddens me to inform everyone that as of the 3rd of February 2023 René has passed away due to cancer. This website will therefore soon go offline.
I would love to give some compelling speech or offer some words of wisdom but i just can't find the right words at this moment…
In the coming days the github page will subsequently be inherited by me https://github.com/Mantls
As far as i can tell all of the source code is being managed on github so that's where - for the time being - all future updates regarding QMC2 will take place.
I would like to thank everyone who has used, shared, contributed or just thought about QMC2 in the last ~20 years. It meant a tremendous amount to my father and had always been a favorite hobby of his.
To my father: so long and thanks for all the fish
(or lack of… with him being a vegetarian)
