Another update before 0.144 
From what I remember, either there will be a 0.143u8 or move directly to 0.144.
When 0.143u6 was released the devs said that there will be one or two source updates (a.k.a u7 and u8) before 0.144.
Either way, another update means it's time for fun.

They are all just numbers. As long as updates keep coming they can call it what they want.

Yeah but seeing as though that will never be emulated, it's the least cool of the editions in the game. There are tons of new characters and it's the latest revision of the main code.

Never be emulated? Emulating a Network Interface Card is not possible or it something else?

The game is playable without the network, right? So at least we can play against each other on the same machine. Kinda. Maybe.

It looks better, do you know what is the settings for brightness in HLSL ? other than the standard mame settings.
I think the main difference between yours and mine is the color beedling....

We can already uncheck Mechanical in CLRMAME, so that's not an issue. I've been without a complete set since CHDs were introduced.

it's not a problem of complete or incomplete romset...Just i see no interest to add over 5000 Fruit Machines Games to MAME (and i'm not the one to think the same thing) even for a documentation and/or preservation project...Now if MAME is the acronym for Multiple Amusement Machine Emulator, no problemo.
Now I am not a hypocrite and that does not stop me from criticizing the choices of some additions though I respect the work of the MAME team !

I 100% agree. And I already said it in the past: mechanical games could be disabled by default. Changes to makefile, mame.mak, mame.lst are needed for this, and maybe some other changes (how about a specific mechanical.lst).
The devs could add options to makefile like this:
make mechanical - (when you want to compile a mechanical games only build)
make alldrv - (when you want to compile a build with all drivers, incl. mechanical)
make - (will compile a normal/default build without the mechanical)
Of course that will not happen, as the devs disagree.

I don't understand the reasoning behind wanting to disable games, it does not make any sense to me at all. Stop crying and don't download them in the first place! If you don't have the ROMs, they won't show in your front end's gamelist.
Why do you download games that you don't like?
And why would you want to disable them in the makefile when you could just not download them. It's something you have to "not do". This ought to be a million times easier than altering MAME to not support certain games.
And about devs disagreeing - try to understand that it's not and will never be anyone else's problem that you have some games on your hard drive that you don't like.

Because they DO show up in lists. Some 8000+ useless entries.

I'm not arguing at all for Fruit Machine removal, some will eventually work with artwork but as for not downloading... I'm not advocating keeping a full set, but there is only one way to stay up to date and it not be a complete pain in the ass, that is to keep a full set and update using torrents or ftp + a rom manager. As for keeping track of new stuff and ignoring 8,000 entries every release, that is not an option to anyone busy or sane.

Like i've said before, i don't see any interest in adding such a lot of Fruit Machines Games (over 5000), working or not (and it is not related wih the fact to have or not a complete MAME Romset)...MAME is the acronym for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator so i could understand that people like me are very surprised by this choice and the addition of these games that have no direct relation with arcade (same for Pinball games).
Quote:
MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. When used in conjunction with images of the original arcade game's ROM and disk data, MAME attempts to reproduce that game as faithfully as possible on a more modern general-purpose computer. MAME can currently emulate several thousand different classic arcade video games from the late 1970s through the modern era.
Now if the choice of MAME TEAM is to become a Mechanical Amusement Machine Emulator and/or Multiple Amusement Machine Emulator and add all mechanical/fruit/gambling/casino/bar/mahjong/consoles/PC/arcades games, etc...No problemo but maybe it's time to inform us about the new directions taken by the MAME Team.
On a side note, we ALL are not only ROMs' collectors but also users (and sometimes we submit Dumps, make donations and/or report bugs) so sometimes thought to treat us in a different way than just a leecher and/or someone who wants to see Miss 0 in his/her romset with his/her favorite Rommanager!

I really hope this goes a step forward and they start adding video pachislot machines.
Damn, I haven't updated since plain 0.143. I better move quick before 0.144 comes out.

ar·cade - noun
from http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/arcade
an establishment, public area, etc., containing games of a mechanical and electronic type, as pinball and video games, that can be played by a customer for a fee.
from http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/arcade
an amusement center having coin-operated games
from http://www.learnersdictionary.com/search/arcade
a place with many games that can be played by putting coins in them — often used before another noun ▪ an arcade game
from http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/american-english/arcade
an area where there are many electronic or other coin-operated games for the public
from http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/amusement+arcade
an indoor area containing coin-operated game machines
--------------------
When I grew up, "arcade games" (and pinball games) were everywhere: arcades, liquor stores, laundromats, restaurants, grocery stores, convenience stores, gas stations, etc. That's in California.
In Nevada, you can find fruit machines in all the same types of places. In Britain, same thing. In Japan, mahjong games can be found in all those same types of places.
The people that played those types of games when they were younger have the same feelings and attachment to those games as I do to "regular" arcade games.
MAME has always been an International project in the broadest sense. Just because a game doesn't classify as "arcade" in the traditional sense to one group of people, doesn't mean that it isn't an arcade game to someone else.
So all the games belong. And they're all arcade games. Done.

I've gotta commend David Haywood for having the patience to sort through that many ROMs. I'm not super excited by the fruit machines and such, but they're a part of coin-operated videogame history, and I suspect many will ultimately be playable due to these efforts.

too stir the pot...except that said group has also decided games like Monaco GP and Pong (etc) are to be left out.
These games also fit the definitions as you laid out in your post.
Sure these are not processor based games, but the bottom line is that the circuitry can be emulated. I know the arguement is that this is not called emulation but simulation - this I do not understand, is the processor of all the other games not being simulated as well? Are you not running code that gives a mathematical solution to processor operation? Why would one also not call the code used to give a mathematical solution to a and/or/nor/etc gate the same?

Not all gambling games are mechanical however, for example mahjong (Nichibutsu), video poker (IGT) and video slot games (Konami, Aristocrat). Disabling mechanical games will also remove pinball machines from the list, and they have every right to be considered an arcade game. There is nothing stating that MAME can only emulate 'video' arcade games, unless you're still in the Windows 98 era, where gambling games were actually removed from the official build.
Removing certain games from MAME or emulation in general only makes it harder to fully document and test CPUs and other chips, since every game makes its own special use of each chip. Besides, if you remove these games from MAME, you end up with crap like MFME and PinMAME which both used source code from very early MAME builds anyway. Maybe the acronym should be changed to reflect the word 'Amusement' rather than 'Arcade' - it is actually more fitting these days, seeing that MAME not only emulates video arcade games, but redemption/ticket games, slot machines, pinball machines, non-video machines and even home systems (when they are used as a base for an arcade game, like the 3DO). If I could buy, dump and emulate one of the DPS Video Scales or old non-video fortune tellers at the local shopping mall I would.

Monaco GP and Pong were both removed because they were programmed from scratch(?) instead of properly emulating or simulating the discrete circuitry, and the gameplay and feel was therefore much different. The only part of Monaco GP used were the graphics ROMs, whereas Pong was remade entirely from scratch, not to mention the simulation was bundled with MAME as a 'free ROM' without Atari's permission (note quotation marks, since Pong didn't actually have any ROM chips).
Technically though, Monaco GP should have been re-added long ago, minus the fake code, as a non-working skeleton driver just to preserve the ROMs - there are many other games with a null driver doing the exact same thing, awaiting the day someone looks at the source code and makes the game say Hello World (or Hello, I'm Turned On! in Q*bert's case).

And to follow up, if you want to see what a "modern" MAME-like emulator for Pong would be like, check out Juergen Buchmueller's simulator (when the hosting is back online). I used to get 5-10 FPS on a Core2 Quad Q6600.

If I remember right, the official response was MAME architecture could not emulate non-processor games properly. It was more a special driver simulating the look of the game rather than the original. They were removed by then. Also that happened three or four administration changes ago. Not referring to the team decision change by itself, but rather how long has passed since they took that decision. MAME didn't have discrete sound emulation or an improved artwork system.

More specifically, it was closer to a port than an emulation.

From what I saw at mametesters.org there will be no 0.143u8. The next version will be 0.144.
The only thing that I wish is: don't rush to make a full 0.144 release. Test/fix the code for at least 2-3 weeks and then release it.
I'm looking forward for 0.144.
Thanks to all devs and contributors for their hard work
Note: I'm not updating to 0.143u7, I will wait till 0.144 to play NBA TE Nani Edition.

At first the log at mametesters.org showed 0.144. Now it's 0.143u8.
Either is ok, as long the bugs are fixed.

Hi RetroRepair, I'm using your version of mame64 which speeds SH3 emulation quite a lot.... is it from the official source or you modified something ?
I mean.... is it going to be that fast on mame 0.144
Anyway thanks for your update, it's much more playable

They should not be posted or distributed anywhere.
Stuff you download from the GIT should only be for your own use with the understanding that it should not be posted or spread around, because it somewhat defeats the purpose of the u version cycles.
From my understanding, most everyone actively playing MAME should be using the u versions, so bugs can be properly reported and fixed via mametesters.
The source tree on the GIT changes so frequently, that it's pointless to distribute or spread these builds, and I'm pretty sure this kind of activity hurts the project more then it helps it.
Please respect and appreciate that the GIT is available for public use and be aware, as R.Belmont has stated, the plug can be pulled at any time.

The longer the wait, the more satisfying the results, so it seems.
Mind you a 6 month period of silence and then suddenly a few more misc u releases and a huge bug tightened release would be awesome! Also gives some more time for things to be added... and for true believers to laugh at the mass panic and hysteria.
Mind you.. would be interesting to see the words 'Such and such which we WERE going to add to this release has now been postponed due to everyone begging for it. We added up all the posts and emails begging for it and have figured that it will be officially added in 2074. You have no one but yourselves to blame for this.' All due to that silence.
