IMHO, the only time you really want an uncorrected window is when you're capturing graphics (for sprite ripping and so on.) Fortunately, the cmd-G screen capture function is unaffected by this patch; it will still save an exact pixel copy of the game.
And as for getting to a hypothetical checkbox to turn off aspect ratio correction, it'd be just as easy to switch to the software renderer. Which is worse (no VBL...) but isn't any slower at actual size (it's the same blit in the GL plugin) which is the only case where this matters anyway. Sprite ripping? I don't think there's alot Mac users that sprite rip. It's almost a hobby dominated by PC users.

Just discovered a bug in the latest MacMAME: Some of the sounds for The Simpsons are incorrect; some background music plays at a faster rate while some plays normally, and some instruments are played at a higher pitch than they're supposed to be, producing a very dissonant sound. In addition, many of the sound bytes (i.e. voices) are higher-pitched than normal.
I don't know if this is an issue with JUST MacMAME or with the Windows MAME as well, but it would be nice to have this bug fixed.

Running a full ROM's audit takes forever with 0.87b. More than 10mn, where it takes less than 45secs with MacMAME 0.77u2.
Is there something wrong with the audit ?

Well, there were more ROMs added since 0.77. According to Internet Archive Wayback Machine: 0.77 - The current version supports 4640 ROM sets, 2622 unique games. 0.87 - The current version supports 5145 ROM sets, 2901 unique games. Yeah, I'm bored

The file handling code was all rewritten between 0.77 and 0.87, and some of it is just slower. ROM audits are adversely affected.

Pleiades (or Pleiads) crashes MacMAME (OpenGL and software). The game screen will begin to draw, get about as far as the score display, and unexpectedly quit.

Is it possible for MacMAME to create the CHD's diff file in another folder within the MacMAME folder? Like the NVRAM folder, perhaps? Currently, they are created within the Hard Disk Images folder. I know.... that's alot of folder already.

Sorry if this has already been raised earlier in the thread. I tried to run Simpsons Bowling (audit suggested that the ROM/CHD were good to go). However, during the boot up process the game failed to load! Culminating on a test screen directing my attention to the manual! Is this a known problem with MacMAME 0.87b?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance. Hold F2 until it is initializing the EEPROM. EDIT: Since you were asking about CHDs earlier, please read the Wiki page on which work or which don't.
