![]() devices (e.g., passthru carts) or new slot options, failed to do so when loaded through the File Manager in the internal UI. [Fabio Priuli] out of whatsnew: to see the bug, try to launch with previous code nes with no options, then mount ggenie cart and, after the reboot, try to mount any other game in the -cart2 media switch. System will reboot, but only ggenie remains mounted. Alternatively, launch c64 and manually mount cbmieee from the UI. After reboot the serial slot options in the Slot Options menu are not configurable, because the core was not "informed" of their addition, and any cart you try to mount in -cart2 will be ignored, because the new media switch is not acknowledged by the core. Once again, from command line everything was fine, and thus the issue was hard to spot :) |

What is MAME?
MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.
MAME's purpose is to preserve decades of video-game history. As gaming technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents these important "vintage" games from being lost and forgotten. This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions. The source code to MAME serves as this documentation. The fact that the games are playable serves primarily to validate the accuracy of the documentation (how else can you prove that you have recreated the hardware faithfully?).
What is MESS?
MESS (Multi Emulator Super System) is the sister project of MAME. MESS documents the hardware for a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles, and calculators, as MAME does for arcade games.
The MESS and MAME projects live in the same source repository and share much of the same code, but are different build targets.
How to compile?
If you're on a *nix system, it could be as easy as typing
make
for a MAME build, or
make TARGET=mess
for a MESS build (provided you have all the prerequisites).
For Windows users, we provide a ready-made build environment based on MinGW-w64. Visual Studio builds are also possible.
