You might check at MAMEtesters (www.mametesters.org) to see if any of this was reported on the PC.

I cannot find any known issues against the 3 titles I've reported issues with (foodf, gradius3, frontlin).

Kid Niki (kidniki) causes MacMAME to crash following MAME screens, but before in-game boot screens.

Sean: is this with the 0.95 binary from my site, or did you build it yourself? What's your hardware/OS config?

I see that Food Fight is broken (NVRAM fails) but I can't reproduce the other problems-- collision detection in Front Line seems fine (I can shoot them, they can shoot me) and Gradius 3 and Gravitar both come up and play fine.

[Edit: Kid Niki also works fine here.]

Can anybody else confirm/deny the issues Sean describes?

I'll look at the .cfg problem in some more detail later.

Setting up a wiki for post-0.88u4b1 builds is probably a good idea.

Land Breaker does look broken. The checksums are swapped for every pair of ROMs. Does this happen on the PC?

I've got the .95 binary from your site; hw is Powerbook G4 500MHz Titanium running OS X 10.3.8.

Front line may need a little qualification. I think it was working, but then I did a config change because the default of having the left stick aim and right stick move threw me off, so I mapped the controls for P1/Right to the d-pad (which shows up as four additional fire buttons) and P1 left to the right analogue stick with button two as my lower-left shoulder button and button one as lower right. I'll try changing back to default and see what happens, but I'm confused as to why changing the default controls for the game would cause such a radical difference in play unless the controller config setup is somehow messing with the emulation?

Gravitar plays fine; it's just OpenGL that doesn't work with it; this could be due to my old chipset though (8MB ATY,RageM3 is how it gets identified in System Profile). I'll try Gradius 3 with software rendering to see if that could be what's causing my problem there as well.

IIRC, it always does this the first time through. I think you have to twiddle the service mode switch to continue.

Land Breaker works fine on the PC, but it's extremely slow. Likely a ROM_REGION in need of LE or BE.

I recommend you all download the mameinfo.dat file which then provides specific game info on the GAME HISTORY pull down menu on the INFO tab.

For Food Fight it says, "- The first time you run the game, it will say 'NVRAM FAILED:'. Press P1 Button 1 to proceed. The NVRAM will be automatically initialized."

So just press the control (fire) button, it works fine for me.

I also just played Gradius 3 no problems with MacMAME 0.95
