MAMEWorld Forums - News - pfeMAME version 2.15 has been released today

Today’s release of pfeMAME brings with it the usual bug fixes and general code improvements. Along with those there are some major changes / features as per below. The manual has also been updated and please read it first if you have never used pfeMAME before as it has a lot of useful information.

Notable changes in this release:

I finally got around to making the manual look more professional – hope you like it.
The preferences menu page has been redesigned. A tabbed page has been introduced with the preferences grouped in various tabs. This looks a lot nicer and has allowed more preferences to be added without running out of screen space or making things look too cluttered.
BGFX video effects support has been added to the Video section of preferences. Nice if you’re into making your top-of-the-range PC look like a 1980s era CRT.
Additional sound settings have been added to the Sound section of preferences
Per-ROM input mappings management has been added. You can now create input mappings within MAME and have pfeMAME remember those mappings for you for next time – please read the manual section ‘Controller Input Mapping’ for detail on how to use this new feature. This is a very new feature and will likely require a few improvements.

Check out the changelog for a full list of changes as there are quite a few this time around.

pfeMAME is a front end for the Multiple Arcade Game Emulator (MAME) written in Python. It is cross platform (tested on Linux - Ubuntu and Windows). It also includes a graphical Tile View designed for MAME cabinets which allows control using joystick / gamepad. It supports favourite game flagging, MESS systems, per-rom input mapping, and a Tiled view for arcade cabinets. It was written with a minimalist view in mind but also because there were some features that I wanted that other front ends just didn't provide.
