Hi to all
It has been a while since I have looked into my MAME setups and I immediately see that chaos has erupted. suddently there are all kinds of rom handlers, needs, bios, versions, checksum errors and the like.
Here's the deal of what I need help with and I ask the experts of the site for it. I am completely uninterested into devs vs devs, MAME vs MESS, oh-my-god-my-games-dont-work-wtf discussions, whatever. That does not help anyone and only spends time to people who require precise information.
I am building a portable play station on a pen and with tons of games and emulators. I have and used MAME and I am more than comfortable with the terminology and tech behind it. I do not wish to use MAME / MESS for all. I will use MAME for arcade only. Period. Now I need to know which version of MAME above 130 is the most stable and you can still find the most complete pack out there (not counting support files (I can find them somewhere else) but counting bios). I will try to find out which old games were eliminated from the database until the version you mention later, for now that is not the request.
If you can direct me to the versions and/ or packs I would be tremendously appreciated. You can also send me a private msg if you prefer.
Thank you all for the time you spend helping me.
Cheers Alban
