KEYTARHERO  Hello,

First, I'd like to thank you for keeping this going. This is great!

One questions I have is whether or not their is an option to consolidate the list to only the ROMs stored in the ROMs folder?

To remedy this in the meantime, I've tried simply "favoriting" the ROMs I do have, but they won't all stay in the favorite list. Is there a sure way to keep these ROMs "favorited" at startup?

Another question/suggestion I have is I've noticed that some games audio is much much lower than others. Is there an option I'm overlooking (similar to iTunes soundcheck) that will make all games the same level. If not, I think this would be a great thing to implement. I don't know if it's something easy to do, but I don't remember differences in audio levels in the past using macmame.

I've also noticed that those same select games that play at lower volumes are the same that occasionally unexpectedly quit at the startup. But the times they do startup fine, they run perfectly with no further unexpected quits during gameplay (just the volume issue). Is there something on my end that may be causing this, or is this a typical prob?

Again, thanks for keeping this going.

Great work

RATTUS  Essential for old school Mac gamers! Although initial setup could be a bit clearer (requires a full audit then individual audits for games you add to the data folder).

Plenty of games can be found at planetemu.net

BROCK SAMSON  Extremely slow to recognize changes in the ROM directory... requires a full ROM audit. Very painful.

MACUPDATE ADMIN  Leopard compatible: Don't know.

Same devs as MacMAME: No.

Which is better: MacMAME has apparently ceased development, the last release is years old. MAME OS X is under current development. Check the developer's website.

ZEBA  If you look at the release notes you can see that Leopard is mentioned, so I guess it's compatible.

IRONMAN  In short, MacMAME was never announced as dead by its author B. Oliver .. but we could say it is discontinued. So MAME OSX is the future (roughly)

SEBEHK  It is good to see that the UI is more Mac-like. Now we can use the audit as a list of what games to play, much like MacMAME. And, finally, it doesn't quit when you want to switch to another game, and takes you back to the list of available games (again, just like MacMAME).
