Wait. What? MAME supports autofire now? Holy shit, this changes

why would you do that, mashing buttons is fun, i imagine beat 'em ups 10x more boring with autofire

>>3040337
zero team 2000 actually has an autopunch button in addition to a regular single punch one

>>3040339
Isn't that a bootleg though.

>>3040337
>implying I play beat 'em ups

Yeah, no.

>>3040348
nope

>>3040351
It's not that good on shooters either, in some of them it's downright cheating breaking the difficulty, such as Darius Gaiden.

>I didn't include autofire on purpose because button mashing adds an extra layer of skill and strategy to the gameplay
-- guy who created Cho-Ren-Sha 68k

>>3040361
chorensha doesn't have mashing though, more like nonchalant pressing.

>>3040361
>Yet all Japanese arcades add hardwired autofire to their shmup cabinets

HURR

also, once devs realized how dumb button-mashing is, all devs added autofire options in their shmups.

>>3040396
>Cave added standard bullet auto-fire
ok

>>3040402
>psikyo, raizing, capcom, taito, etc

doesn't allow to have multiple buttons at different rates, so no boss quick kill trick in mushihimesama

>>3040440
>telling me what to do
2bh I don't even play shooters anymore.

>tfw mame ruined all my custom patches when they switched to C++ for some reason
fuck em im not upgrading

is there a mame that supports pausing the fucking game so i can answer my phone, take a shit or go make a sandwich?

>>3043005
yes even vanilla does it

just press P

>>3043005
idiot. have you never even once configured the controls in mame?

>>3040559
What patches?

>>3043276
Just some shit I did myself because I was curious of how C and MAME worked.

I put the legal warning on a switch in the .ini file, so I could switch it on and off at will. I made the DoDonPachi Arrange hack a separate game, I made Tamagotchi emulation easier to use (because at the time the checksums were wrong or something, the MAME rom set was also missing a rom).

I did a few other things, too. I just don't remember what.

It was mostly usability improvements, nothing spectacular.

>>3043319
honestly the relicensing effort is better in the long run for the software itself

we now have a clearer idea of where the emulator stands legally

>>3040361
Did he really say that?

Now I feel totes guilts because I always play ChoRenSha with autofire...

>>3040360
>It's not that good on shooters either, in some of them it's downright cheating breaking the difficulty, such as Darius Gaiden.
Oh look a clueless cunt appears. In most cases it's a benefit and simply makes long sessions more comfortable than getting rsi from mindlessly tapping. Darius gaiden is a rare case and FYI many machines in japan are hard wired with custom auto fire buttons and it's not officially considered cheating.

>>3040440
>>playing any shmup made after 1998
>missing out on ketsui the greatest shmup ever made.

Why is this even news anyway? Mame has had autofire support for fucking years.

>get the new MAME version
>it uses the winpcap driver
>its fucking broken and an error pops up every time i do something to tell me about it
great QA

Ketsui is the reason I had my MAME configured awhile back, lost all that though, didn't think I'd need to back up my game machine.

Do 3D games work on MAME? I'm a big Ridge Racer fan (get a load of this faggot) and I'd like to at least play Rave Racer, even if its unanimously agreed to be shit.

>>3043392
wait, it does?
i had recently installed and removed wireshark so i assumed it was a broken uninstall on my end

also when did they update the [still primitive] UI?

>>3043464
they've been at it for a year at the very least

the version i downloaded is just an overall downgrade though, holy shit there's so many problems

MAME is a nightmare for me.
No matter what I download, I always get the "Missing rom or CHD" message.
FFS I just want to play some Star Gladiators 2.

Which version of MAME should I use?
I'm using FB Alpha atm because I like FB Alphas interface but it doesn't support all games.

>>3043473
download a complete set with emulator and stick with it

>>3043404
MAME is mostly written by people who care about documenting the hardware accurately, and aren't willing to do the sort of inaccurate high-level emulation required for performant 3d graphics.

>>3043404
>even if its unanimously agreed to be shit
huh?

>>3043364
>custom auto fire
No wonder why japs are casual shits.

>>3040361
I think there's no point in not having autofire unless there's some other sort of mechanic that comes from holding, like Dodonpachi's laser.
But even then, they still add a separate autofire button.

I don't understand how mashing is supposed to add anything, the only difference is you get carpal tunnel faster

>>3046742
It really depends on the mashing, if it's way too demanding it can be a problem, but if it's a relaxed mashing it's not bad.

>>3043772
Can someone fork MAME so there's a version that does fast 3D?

>>3046848
sent (;

>>3040337
Final Fight with autofire is some stupid shit

But in games where there's literally no reason to ever not be mashing the button it's pretty silly

Like Space Harrier, my thumb can't take it

Someone seriously needs to take MAME and remove all the bloat from it (read: MESS). Also add GPU acceleration for 3D.

Call it MEME to avoid copyright infringement.

>>3046865
Err, GPU support for 3D acceleration.

>>3046865
Dank Mame

>>3046865
>Call it MEME to avoid copyright infringement.
kek

>>3046865
You can compile only the arcade portion of it.

It's fucking retarded that you can't filter out the MESS portion in the newer versions, so your game list is full of systems you'll never use.

>MUH PRESERVATION
>This expression indicates a MAMEdev's pretentiousness and lack of understanding. When confronted with someone criticizing MAME for being a jack of all trades master of none, the MAMEdev mumble, "muh preservation", or "muh accuracy mudafuga" This is usually followed by long, angry butthurt posts about how the other party is an ungrateful little shit, how MAME is more than just a video game emulator, and how MESS is good let alone even relevant.

in that

I know is playable, but not perfect.

>>3046892
If you rename the rom directory and only put games in it you want, the shit doesn't show up.

>>3047087
What? Only if I rename the ROM directory?

That's retarded.

Sorry for being a scrub, but I'm just trying to play some old arcade games from when I was a kid.

Why the fuck is there a list of games I don't own and does it not pick up games in zip files?

>>3043368
Not the "official" version you dumbass

>>3047087
Doesn't work. Explain please.

Newfag question:
What actually is MAME?
They say its an aracade simulator (emulator?).
But you can also play PS1 games etc with it?
Does it have its own emulator or does it use ports of know emulators under the hood?
Sorry for beeing stupid.

>>3048224
I've never heard of MAME running PS1 games. A quick google search makes me think you're thinking of MESS, which is different.

3D acceleration is coming, but very slowly.

Screencap of one of the developers.

>>3052151
You mean the bilinear filtering?

Just open up cmd, run mame -cc.

This generates a .ini file. Open it up, search for the filter value and toggle it to 0.

>>3052478
Thank you very much

>Believing anything that R. Belmont says

Guys, is there a way to hide the BIOS and Computer/Console stuff from the Available list? So that only the games you have in your Roms directory will show up.

>>3056079
I got a response to that question here >>3047362

Presumably MAME devs lurk here.

>>3056092
I don't mind the computers/consoles and BIOS things being included in MAME. I just would like an option to hide them all in my Available list so that only games that are actually available will show up.

What am I missing here? I've had autofire on my mame for years.
Its even on the android ports, although its not very well implemented.

>>3058024
autofire was never in the "official" mame until now.

>>3040361
And the fire mashing is the one thing I dislike about Cho Ren Sha.
