Third time's a charm, right?

It's up on macmame.org now. This should clean up the remaining mess that was left in 0.87a with the input crashes and junk. Feel free to report problems with crashing now.

BUT! I am aware that some people will have sticks that are not recognized properly, and I intend to address this in the near future. As such, I don't really need to know if this problem happens to you, so for now, don't bother to report issues of this type.

And on that note, enjoy! I'll have my fingers crossed that this build is finally something to be proud of. Even if it's not, I'll be out of town this weekend, doing my best to not care about it until Monday. Go easy on me while I'm gone.

Will do. Have a great time! I'm still recovering from my "bear" festival from last night/this morning. :p

EDIT: Fixing my typos... three times already Also, the Wiki page is up just in case people would like to use it, too.

Thank you thank you thank you so much!!!!! This is great!

Deleting the NVRAM for Mahjong Diplomat and Mahjong Banana dream fixed them for me. Thanks for that! I was really stupid. They actually store the number of credits in NVRAM between games. You can also reset it by pressing the service button (the minus key).

I sometimes, but not always, get a crash when leaving the service menu in Kirameki Star Road. This isn't a real problem, because you can save the configuration and then reset the machine.

If I play Bubble Bobble 2, Puzzle Bobble 4 or Kirameki Star Road (all Taito F3 games, I think) and then try to play another game, MacMAME will sometimes hang on a black screen after displaying the game information. I can play several F3 games one after the other, but I can't play an F3 game and then a game on another system.

I love MacMAME, and I think Brad and everyone else who contributes does a great job. I report problems (which sometimes turn out to be bugs, and sometimes turn out to be my stupidity) in the hope that I'm being helpful. I don't mean to be nasty.

And Brad, I'm glad you decided to go and drink some beer and forget about MacMAME for a while.

At this point tell me what you would like to hear from me... :-)

oopsie, joystick problems again... the left direction is mapped to the down direction button, and the right direction is mapped to the up direction button. Up & down are probably wrong too ;¬)

I can confirm the controller problems.

Now I can say Gauntlet games work. I have to say this is the fastest MacMAME release in a while. I had no idea the shooter in Tempest is THAT fast.

You should probably re-set all of your digital joystick settings. When I do this, the directions work fine.

that's what I did, I even trashed MacMAME's prefs, but to no avail :¬(

BTW I thought you weren't supposed to be back before Monday? ;¬p

I also remapped the left & right directions to the up and down buttons, so they work, but up & down directions don't work at all on the left & right button assignments (dunno if that's clear enough ;¬)
