Hi guys,
Back from a long long hiatus from marp. Interest has peaked and im sniffin through the site again. Obviously I want the latest build of mame thats acceptable for regulation play. Ive tried dling a few .118 builds from the uploads page, but they all have an interface im not familiar with and to be honest with you, dont much care for, like the old dos version. Is there a wolfmame32 build for .118 out? What im wanting is my old school win32 gui. The latest ive been able to find is .106. I feel newbie askin this. Ive searched through the forums a bit looking for the latest release but getting frustrated. Anyone point me the right way?

Thanks
Dax

No more wolf GUI after .106. You'll either have to use that one or use a frontend for the more recent versions.

Hello Dax!!!

Download wolf118 and Emuloader frontend:

It is very easy frontend to use and friendly as mame32. Playback and Record input options you have in popup menu after right-mouse click on game.

keep in mind for many contests...including the soon-starting K6, 106 is required.

it is the version I have most of my rom sets based on still.

...with just a handful here and there using newer versions.

there is nothing the newer versions offer really except a handful of new games and a few fixes for a few games.

For a lot games. For Zombie Raid for sure

Emuloader would be fine if it was finished but for me it's too unstable, bloated, buggy and unintuitive (I mean that in a constructive way). However it you persevere with it, with luck you may get it working and do OK for now.

A GUI frontend is necessary if you don't know all the game names and you like browsing through them with snapshots etc. but I can understand now that once you've gotten to know all the games and shortnames etc. a minimal frontend is all you need.

I use EmuLoader 5.0 version with no problem. Emuloader author every day fix bugs if someone report it.

Easymame is pretty close to the 'plus' experience. I tried a few frontends when they killed the plus versions, and this was the best for me.
