> It's a good idea lately to download new MAME versions to a new folder in order to ensure stale files don't stick around and fuck everything up. That goes double if you intend to use HLSL or BGFX.
I don't know why people are insistent on fucking about with .170 and .171 . Unless one is interested in playing with new features, and hence ONLY using .172-onward, they should be sticking with .168 or less.
@Atomic Dragon: dude, FX has its own forum. You shouldn't even be posting that shit here. Even so, you should've mentioned your build from the beginning. These are common senses; there's a reason they're different builds.
