🚀 v4.45 (The Experience Update) is Here!
Status: ✅ House Tested & Looking for external Testers!
The ultimate "digital broom" for your MAME collection has received a massive update. We are looking for the community to download this, test it on your setups, and report any bugs!
✨ v4.45 Highlights
- Native Audio Easter Eggs: Added native Windows background audio for that classic '80s hacker/arcade vibe on startup and completion.
- Ghost File Eradication: Completely eradicated "Ghost Files" and dummy devices (like
scsi_cdrom) from the Missing Assets log! - Standalone Execution: All audio and image assets are now fully bundled into the single
.exefile! Just drop it in your MAME folder and run.
(This version also includes all the recent v4.42 Community Dashboard upgrades and the v4.35 Smart Setup Wizard!)
❤️ Community Credits
This tool was forged in the fires of community testing. A massive thank you to our early adopters:
- Marcus: For detailed bug hunting (2-Way Joystick patch, Emulation Status dropdown, Decades filter).
- @johnmclain250: Your sandbox testing helped us identify the "Clone Leak" and X-Men bugs!
- @Englad666: For sending in detailed logs for complex control/orientation filtering.
- @TravisK-i1e: For inspiring the "Smart Setup Wizard" that fetches missing files.
- @FermentedGrumpyGrapeSqueezit: For emulation trivia and regional ROM hierarchy insights.
🚨 IMPORTANT: Windows Virus Warning (False Positive)
Because this program is a standalone .exe created by a solo developer, it does not have a digital signature. Windows Defender will likely flag this as a virus. This is a False Positive. The code is 100% Open Source. Click "More Info" -> "Run Anyway".
