#MAME 0.285 compiles on #HaikuOS after adding a small upstream patch (a missing #include).

If you're struggling to compile the latest version of MAME (I bet #FreeBSD and #NetBSD probably have the same issue), give this a go: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/ffde4d3920ae99d2730db83982ffa9f8fbd8abd2

Anyway, there's a PR on HaikuPorts for the update, so it should be with you lovely people in the next few days.

I’ve uploaded the Apple Silicon build of #mame 0.285 for #macos so all us old folks can emulate & relive the relic computers we grew up using on our fancy new computers. Or even play games we were too poor to get thru in the arcades. (Using sdl2 framework, of course). https://sdlmame.lngn.net/

Its also mirrored on github somewhere, but me no link to them here. Intel builds will follow later on.

I was told a few weeks back to switch to sdl3 for my Mac #mame builds but todays 0.285 release fails rather quickly with sdl3 while building with sdl2.

Seeing that the sdl3 branch still exists, I think it’s safe to assume it didn’t make it for release. While not the end of the world, I guess I should be following this closer for a bit.

I’ll be shipping with an sdl2 build for now soon-ish.

I miss Rainbow Islands with "somewhere over the rainbow" as the theme tune.

Apparently copyright happened 😪 so we get a slightly off happy tune in the style of the original unless you use the original ROMS through MAME.

The Nintendo Switch version has the new song and it's lovely, but it doesn't take me back to being in the Superbowl 2000 pushing 10p coins into the machine.

It's the only arcade machine I ever completed, although we did an epic Bubble Bobble run once too.

Got some time to work on #TransFS my FUSE based FS designed to allow you to maintain one set of retro gaming software content, and magically serve it in the right form/dir structure to #MiSTer / #Mame / #Retropie etc.

Now includes a downloader that’s makes/pulls entire collections and #Zaparoo support for launching from the TransFS.

Big git push planned tomorrow!
