MAME release postponed

Sun, 24 May 2026 14:57:36 -0500

Hi y'all

What is the reason MAME is now released after 2 months instead of 1 month?
And is this change for good or was it just one time?

To John IV: can you maybe calculate the means for my system too? I have no knowledge of the math but I'm interested to see the result.

Just press both the keys you want to have to press simultaneously when assigning the input.

I thought I post my benchmark here too for comparison.
System: Apple MacBook Pro M5 Max 18-Core/GPU 40-Core, 64 GB, 2 TB.
It was a gigantic performance boost compared to my sold M4 Max, thanks to the new super cores.

Confirmed, it times out.

Hopefully you still have your alternate arrangements in place, given how long it took to fix things last time.

I've had the same problem since early May, too!

Re: Mameui 0.287 don�t Save nvram files

I'm the one who actually has:
Code:

nvram_save                0

in mame.ini and uses:
Code:

mame.exe <machine_name> <cartridge_name> -nvram_save

when needed (easier to backup save data by not generating them automatically on tested machines). No problems here.

Top of tree is definitely saving NVRAM for me � I wouldn�t have been able to test Gunbuster linking without it. If it was really broken in 0.287, I think we would�ve got a lot more reports a lot sooner.

For some reason I don't know, version 0.287 Not Saving NVRAM files. I'm testing ROMs like Mortal Kombat II, NBA Play By Play, Neo Geo ROMs, etc., and it doesn't save the NVRAM file. Version 0.286 is OK.
