MAME, title window has been chanched in 0.228
#389777 - 01/31/21 11:27 AM


Before 0.228, MAME's window title was "MAME: name-of-the-game", which I think it should be the standard for all emulators, I mean, "name of the emulator: name of the game". Since 0.228 the title is just the name of the game, excluding "MAME:". This change makes all the community's autohotkeys scripts fail.

Was this a mistake or is it an accepted change?

It was a cuavas change. The chances of getting it reverted would be low, but you're free to change it in your own fork.

Cant't the scripts search for "MAME" string anywhere in the title instead of just checking if the title starts with this string ?

What are the "community's autohotkeys scripts"?

All people in the world that use autohotkeys with MAME.
Sorry for my English.

I've solved it changing my autohotkeys script, so that now takes the whole name of the MAME window. No need to compile my own version of mame.

Some explanation here: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/af7c2e2d308e456142c5a7859849789d83b983b7#comments
The new format is more in line with other Windows software.
