High Score Saves? - Version: 0.124, 5/30/2008 08:32PM PST
PrismaticRealms
I tried this for a while and it's pretty slick. But can this emulator save my high scores? Not by default it can't. That's a deal breaker for me. I'm going to continue using MacMame until MAME OS X can implement high score saving.
works fine

Works acceptably on Leopard. Note that this comes with no ROMs whatsoever. They must be downloaded separately and extracted into ~/Library/Application Support/MAMEOSX/ROMs
Just plain doesn't work... - Version: 0.118, 11/16/2007 01:57AM PST

After a few minutes my iMac had audited my ROM collection, only to come back and report 0 ROMs as good... that pretty much sums it up for me... oh well back to MAME on Windows for me.
Needs New Wireless Keyboard Support - Version: 0.118, 11/10/2007 04:49AM PST

The new Apple (aluminum) Wireless Keyboard is not supported and I had to connect an old one in order to play. Outside of that small hiccup it works fine and definitely takes me back to my youth.
A few mini bugs, but other than that a great free app thanks!

Sorry, but I installed this today, and it doesn't work with a single ROM. When I first ran it, Mame OS X spent about 6 hours auditing all of my ROMs (all in .zip format and living in an old MacMame directory). At the end of the audit, none of the ROMS were listed as good. Clearly that is wrong since all the ROMs run find in old versions of MacMame and PC versions of Mame. Furthermore, attempting to run any of the games under Mame OS X results in a total crash of Mame OS X with it telling me to view the log window and then quitting! I think I'll suffer under MacMame for a while longer. With all of its imperfections, at least it can load and play the games. The same can't be said for Mame OS X.
Works for me... - Version: 0.118, 9/2/2007 09:16PM PST

The app works flawlessly on my Mac Pro 2.66. Yes, it took awhile for the audit to finish, but I did have a few thousand ROMs to go through.
Also good to see that the UI is more Mac-like. Now we can use the finished audit as a list of what games to play, much like MacMAME. And, finally, it doesn't quit when you want to switch to another game, and takes you back to the list of available games (again, just like MacMAME).
Could sure use a volume control within the app.

Still needs work - Version: 0.118, 9/2/2007 06:31PM PST

On first run, like the previous comment, it tries to validate your ROM files and seems like it goes through its entire internal list even if you don't have all of them. I killed it after 40 min. and it was only up to "C".
I ended up scrolling to the games I wanted to play, selecting their names, and validating just those, just so I could play it. But, c'mon, 5 hours isn't really useable.
Once in the games, I noticed a few more graphic artifacts than on MacMAME (esp. in vector games) but seemed to play well otherwise.
Coming out of games, a lot of 'unexpected quits'.
Definitely looking promising, but I'll stick with MacMAME for now.

Port to 10.3.9 too please! - Version: 0.118, 9/2/2007 05:03PM PST
Eugenia_Loli
Come on man, please add a 10.3.9 version too! Not everyone uses 10.4.x. My husband won't upgrade his Mac because he has way too many pro peripheral that work only with 10.3.x so an upgrade is out of the question. At the same time, that's the only Mac we can play fast-enough MAME, so please consider creating a PPC 10.3.9 version too. Thanks!
MAME is back!!!!! - Version: 0.118, 9/2/2007 05:47AM PST

This is an excellent replacement for MacMAME, which was getting quite buggy in its most recent releases. This version of MAME is much faster, the options are easy to configure, the video modes are excellent, and tons of other little enhancements makes for a great release. Minor caveat: it does seem to take a while to load (5 hours on my Dual 2GHz G5) on the first run. But after that, this runs smoother than just about any other emulator I've ever seen. A must download for any emulator fan.
