MAME .109 is out!

I saw the roms were available a few days ago. I didn't grab them or anything cause I was waiting for the official release announcements. Guess it's time now. :)

Oh one quick question, to Tom mostly. Is there a new .LAY format of the GameEx bezel yet? Since 107 the MAME guys built a new renderer which makes the GameEx bezel artwork no longer work. In fact, if you have it turned on, MAME won't even run. I'd still like to use it for the vertical games that don't have bezel art yet.

I updated my roms and the mamepp.exe and had no problems as yet. Saying that I've only played like 3 or 4 games and may still have the same problem.

Is the 1942 loading artwork/bevel when it tries to launch, you could disable artwork in the config and see if that solved anything. Just a notion really.

EDIT: Just tried to launch 1941 & 1942 and guess what. Same happening here. Going to try various things to try. Let you know how I'll get on.

Just tested with mame32 & Gameex and everything working.

This is exactly what I was talking about. Tom's bezel artwork for GameEx doesn't work with the new versions of MAME. They are rendered in a different format. When you have bezels enabled in GameEx, MAME can't render them and it crashes MAME back to GameEx. Somebody needs to sit down for a couple minutes and write out the xml for the new .lay render. I don't understand it or I'd do it myself, but it's only like 4 lines.

Perhaps we could ask for Mr. Do's help...

Mr. Do's Artwork

If you would like to help add to the existing artwork, but are intimidated by constructing the .lay file, don't worry. All we need is the artwork; we can take care of the rest. Feel free to send any artwork to...
