Just to clarify some things: This svn is the live MAME and MESS updates. You may create personal builds based on this, but you cannot complain of any new bugs unless they appear in an official release. Mametesters will not accept bug reports based on new changes. Also, MESS external artwork is not in the new svn, you will need to keep your own backup of this.
