We communicated things best we could, and I spent over a year preparing people with the UME builds etc.I think with any big change in MAME it just takes time (sometimes 4-5 years) for things to really trickle down to all users and be properly understood, at which point they pretty much forget how things used to be.

(basically game cartridges, CDs, disks etc.). Chances are if you have a complete 0.171 set you already have the bios roms tho.The 'Software List' sets you find are for removable media etc. CPS changer games)a 0.151 set will work for some, but not all as a LOT of work has been done since then, including improving documentation, using the correct ROMs where incorrect ones were being used before etc. Since the projects merged the 'MESS Bios' set is obsolete (and was a misleading name anyway, it included ROMs for a number of standalone game systems just as the MAME set did eg. A 'full set' of MAME 0.171 ROMs will include the system roms / bios roms for the consoles. My questions are:1) Does v.171 of Mame (or MAMEUI) require BIOS to run console systems?2) If BIOS is required for the latest version of Mame, can I use 'lower' version BIOS set (v.151 Mess BIOS pack on v.171 of Mame)?Thanks!. I'm currently using v.151 of Mess to run a handful of systems (Atari 5200, 7800, Coleco, and Intellivision) because the latest version of the Mess BIOS I could find was v.151. I'm looking to update to MAME to.171 (I'm going to use MameUI to be clear) and as I understand it Mess has been rolled into Mame recently.

Hope someone can help. Over time, MAME (originally stood for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) absorbed the sister-project MESS (Multi Emulator Super System), so MAME now documents a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles and calculators, in addition to the arcade video games that were its initial focus.Here are the rules for this subreddit. The fact that the software is usable serves primarily to validate the accuracy of the documentation (how else can you prove that you have recreated the hardware faithfully?). The source code to MAME serves as this documentation.

This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions. As electronic technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents this important 'vintage' software from being lost and forgotten. MAME is a multi-purpose emulation framework.MAME’s purpose is to preserve decades of software history.
