i believe this is an excellent emulator but should continue to be improved...i love playing my old arcade games so much that i evem bought my own arcade cabinet from recroommasters.com! i love it and it works perfectly with any type of emulator

Sadly all new mame sucks after 0.133 or somewhere close to that. Because that guys changed names of filesets of games for some "reasons" which mean nothing to average gamer , and 1/3 of games do not work for whom created their mame before that.

I dont think any real gamer (not counting freaks saying "game preservation is important being able to play is side effect bla bla..) would benefit from these mame releases. No new Cave games Ibara Ketsui , no significant improve on 3d fighters, ...juts useless stuff.

For mame , I recommend the version which recognizes and runs your roms without problems , not the latest build. programs like clrmamepro are pain , and even you get to update them , you get nothing new...
