DESCRIPTION
MacMAME... MAME, which stands for Multi-Arcade Machine Emulator, is part of the MAME project, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the history of arcade videogames via emulation. MacMAME achieves this by running the original program code found in the arcade games. As such, it is much more than a reproduction, it is essentially that same game running via an emulated layer inside your Macintosh. It reads the ROMs that you can download from certain sites, and interprets the code into a working arcade game program that runs on your Macintosh.

SPLUNK23  I have been living under a rock for a while and my MAME set is only at 0.58… I haven't really been living under a rock, just been into other things. Anyway I am getting back into Emulators again and was wondering, What happened to MacMAME and why? Very sad that it appears to be dead.

MAX DEMIAN  I solved the joystick configuration issue by having an older version (0.77u2a) in the same directory as 0.103u2, configured my USB joystick in v77, quit and started v103. The settings carried over fine.

SPRINGHEELMAC  I can't seem to be able to use my XBOX controller with this, even though I've installed 'Gamepad Companion' and 'XBOX HID Driver'. What am I doing wrong?

AVV3LENATO  Try MAME OS X!

MAME OS X is a native OS X port of the popular MAME emulator. It is designed to take advantage of all the latest OS X technologies, like Core Video and Core Image. - Universal Binary!

MAULRAT  Just wanted to add that I'm having the same Keybord/Joystick issues as Mr. Ash and Scatterbraine. I don't think this is a random issue as my same setup (Logitech RumblePad/USB Overdrive X) worked just fine with the last version of MacMAME I was using, which was 97 (yea, I hadnt upgraded in a while!).

SJJ_PUBLIC  I had the keyboard/joystick settings problems, but resoloved it by throwing out all of the existing settings files for games and then setting up the default settings. Then the changes stuck, as did further changes I made, and changes for specific games. So try tossing out all the settings files.

MR.ASH  OK, as suggested i've updated all my ROM's (about 120) and still half of them won't run on MacMame 0.103u2. I could live with that issue cause most not running ROM's aren't too good games.

But why, please tell my why isn't it possible to configure USB joypads anymore? Without this function most games are absolutly unplayable. Using the Mac keyboard isn't an option either or have you ever tried to play "Metal Slug" with a keyboard? It's impossible.
