I went ahead and download it from the website. I didn't know what all files needed from the source folder to the MAME folder. I still enjoying the new one.

Something a lot of people will like that wasn't mentioned in the formal whatsnew: if you run with -cheat, in addition to cheat files, it will also enable auto-fire options in the Tab menu.

Thank you for the update.
Now I can finish updating my frontend.
One question: Can the language sub-folder names in the \language\ folder have Unicode strings or they must only use ANSI strings ?
I need to know this because the Delphi 7 compiler doesn't support Unicode and I need to write a special folders detection routine to read names with Unicode strings correctly.
Thank you for any info.

All string.po uses UTF-8 Code.

Wait people, I don't quite get everything, been used to GroovyMAME rather than the vanilla build so I have a few questions;
- What does 'auto' stand for in front of 'video' (osd video options) ? D3D ? BGFX ? How do I know what MAME is using ?
- Does D3D9ex work with this version ?
- If yes is it working like in GM (not queuing a ridiculous number of frames and therefore producing less delay)
- What does the 'switchres' option is for here ?
- What's going on with sync anyway ? I haven't turned 'waitvsync', 'syncrefresh' or 'triplebuffer' on but there's not a hint of tearing whatever game I launch. How come ?
- I'm using Win 7 w/ Aero so maybe my Windows and/or GPU are forcing sync to monitor anyway ?
Thanks ! ^^"

Video auto defaults to d3d on my windows 10 pro machine.
running with -video d3d9ex says invalid and it reverts to gdi
switchres seems to be disabled by default and I forgot the point of it actually.
Code:
- What's going on with sync anyway ? I haven't turned 'waitvsync', 'syncrefresh' or 'triplebuffer' on but there's not a hint of tearing whatever game I launch. How come ?
- I'm using Win 7 w/ Aero so maybe my Windows and/or GPU are forcing sync to monitor anyway ?
What's your display and CPU + GPU?
I don't mean to sound like that other dude, but I recently bought a G-Sync display and it's basically the best money I ever spent. Those options are all disabled and games run at their native refresh rate now and sound awesome

For what it's worth, we're still working with Calamity to import as much of GroovyMAME as possible. If you're looking for feature parity we're not quite there yet. Expect it later in MAME 0.172 or later.
Still, no reason not to learn standard MAME now.

@B2K24: Win 7 Pro 64bit, i5-4690k, 750Ti, 21" 1600x1200@60 lcd monitor & 42" Full-Hd lcd tv.
Yup I know about G-Sync and all but that's not in my plans for now, just trying to understand how the current version behaves in situations.
@Stiletto: Oh I see, I though something strange was happening.
Actually D3D9ex doesn't crash on my setup so it got me scratching me head.
So okay, I bet the ever-syncing thing must be beacuse of Aero, I'll check again without it, even though as you're suggesting it might be worth waiting 0.172 or something.

@LensLarque,
The -video d3d9ex option is only available in GroovyMAME by now. It's quite an straightforward implementation and the benefits are real, so when the time for the merge comes we'll see if it's accepted. However baseline is now moving to BGFX which has Direct3D 11/12 backends, that could be optimized for low latency in the same way (Direct3D 9 doesn't support control of the frame queue size, that's why Vista+ 9ex implementation was added to GroovyMAME).
As Stiletto pointed I'm currently working in refactoring the GroovyMAME code for an eventual merge (partial or total, we don't know yet). My plan is to deconstruct the current patch in smaller blocks and be submitting them in gradual steps, so we make sure nothing gets broken in the process, and basic features can get isolated from the somewhat more experimental ones. First feature I'll be adding is integer scaling, which should be ready for 0.172. Next, I'd like to focus on the synchronization options. Of course, the last word belongs to the team with regards to which features get in and which don't.
