hello
hopefully someone still knows about this old version.
i have 2 questions,
1. on PC running 0.139, whenever game list shows, it doesnt list everything, but either random games or I have to manually enter partial match
while on android for some reason it lists normally full list and user can scroll down and chose any existing rom available
-
question - why doesn't it work on PC like that ? and can it be changed in settings somewhere ? (how) ?
Simply put, that is what MAME 0.139 provided the enduser (up until a more featured selection/UI was added in MAME 0.171). You were provided a number of random entries and you can type to find the game you may be looking for. At the time, it was still suggested you use an external front-end or learn to use the command window.
EG:
mame pacman -window

2. how do i setup for games like Jurassic Park, to use mouse instead light-gun ?
You'll need to tell MAME to activate your mouse. You can edit your mame.ini file and change the 0 in "mouse 0" into a 1. For newer releases, simply head to Configure Options > Advanced Options > Mouse and change to "On". Otherwise, if using command-line,
mame jpark -mouse will work.
We'd rather have you use the current MAME release (0.225) available at
https://www.mamedev.org/release.html. Limited to no support is provided for much older builds (such as 0.139) and especially and Retroarch/Libretro MAME cores which have critical internals and functionality disabled or ripped out.
