Hello!
I released a new version of MAME_Tunes v3.1.

http://brpg.hp.infoseek.co.jp/mame_tunes/index_en.html

This is minor update.
Added record / playback option for SDLMAME.
Added iTunes-like playlist menu to context menu.

Have a fun!

hi, I resurrect this thread because I'm not sure how to contact the developer of MameTunes elsewhere.

anyway, I'm trying to setup SDLMAME to be as friendly as possible on the mac of a friend of mine, and I decided to use MameTunes as a frontend because is simple and fast

but my life would be even easier if a few features could be added:

1. a way to disable the debug (I know this is missing just because it's been a month since last MameTunes release and the debug activation in MAME is more recent... I'm not complaining, just pointing the need of an update wink )

2. a way to add optional commands to SDLMAME. Namely, assume I would like to add an option which is supported by MAME but not (yet) by MameTunes (e.g. the -nodebug above). It would be cool to have an 'option' field in the SDLMAME settings screen to add -nodebug and more commands, which could simply be passed as additional command line arguments.
I guess in the end MameTunes is simply launching the application with a series of options which depend on the choices of the setting screen... would it be hard to add at the end of the command line the content of this new 'options' field?

For instance, in the case of the -nodebug command, I could add -nodebug to this 'options' field and MameTunes could simply pass the command

Code
./sdlmame "other_options_from_MameTunes_interface" -nodebug

allowing me to run the emulator with no debug.

It would also increase future compatibility with no need of updates of the frontend: if a new option is added to MAME and is not present in MameTunes, I could add it simply to this field, while waiting for an updated release of the frontend

3. support for multiple rompaths. I asked for this before and the author answered it was possible, but I don't see a way to do this in 3.1, so I wonder how should I add a second folder for roms...


EDIT: I hope I managed to explain what I meant, especially at point 2. Anyway, if more clarifications are needed simply let me know smile

and thanks for the wonderful frontend!

too late to edit again my post, but I found out that all the issue mentioned above can be solved by disabling "SDLMAME Easy Settings", which tells SDLMAME to take options from mame.ini. very smart design and once again compliments to the author of this small jewel smile

however, it would be cool to have some of the suggestion above implemented, both to show more possible configurations to the end user and (for the multiple rompaths) to obtain a real playlist with all possible roms from different directories smile

Hello everyone.
I released MAME_Tunes v4.0 after a long time.
http://brpg.hp.infoseek.co.jp/mame_tunes/index_en.html

I remade application and added some features.
Grid view, infoPanel, multi rom path and more.

Please try it.

P.S
Now MAWS server is downed.
So, web Info panel can't show detail page.

oh, you mean for additional files like flyers... I hadn't test this at the time, so maybe support is missing. I'll try later.

I, for one, am thrilled to see this update. Thank you very much!

One question, though - What is the best way to contact you if there are questions, problems or feature requests?
