![]() RPKs are not affected, but you should prefer the ZIPs for (old) cartridges the homebrew stuff will remain available as RPK for now. Have a look at WHTech FTP I rearranged some paths to make them more visible. MAME 0.174 ROMS UPDATELuckily, Texas Instruments added a CRC16 to many of their ROM contents, so we can have some confidence in the dump when the CRC16 matches, but there are many ROMs without any checksum.Īnyway, this means that when you pull the latest release (0.174), you must update your system ZIPs and cartridge ZIPs. This explains why I am interested in unhacked versions. As long as they are running, I may earn shrugs from some of you, but you know, as I explained, we have a dedicated archival mission. We still are not certain about the authenticity of lots of ROM contents. When cartridges appear that have not been dumped yet, we can more easily create a cartridge image from it. ![]() One reason for that is that it becomes easier to assign dumps to cartridges and their chips for example, as we actually did recently, you can dump an EPROM and compare it to the version we are using, or even replace a previous, bad dump. In this release I replaced the system (G)ROMs of the consoles as well as most of the cartridge (G)ROMs from a full space dump (single file) to a per-chip dump (one file per GROM/ROM). This time there are some things to take care of, hence my heads-up. As you probably noticed, I don't announce every MAME/MESS release as I did earlier, because there is a regular release every last Wednesday of a month. ![]()
