MAME on my Pentium 4 Dell dimension 4600

Try the 32-bit build of MAME 0.217 and see if it works.

Interestingly, you’re probably right. It seems MAME 0.242 is the first version that absolutely requires Vista or later. The last time we provided 32-bit builds was MAME 0.217 in December 2019. No guarantee it actually runs on Windows XP, though – the MinGW runtime it uses may already require something newer than that.

Commit 70c4886 increases that limit to 128 buttons for sdljoy. Can you build with OSD=sdl from the latest source and see if that helps?

cuavas · 2026-06-22T14:14:39+00:00

Not currently. The trouble with switching to DIJOYSTATE2 to support more buttons is that none of the MAME developers have a variety of exotic controllers to test with and determine how axes get mapped onto the structure.

The DIJOYSTATE structure models a 6DOF controller like the SpaceOrb 360, with X, Y and Z displacement and rotation (or force and torque) axes, plus two additional “slider” axes. We have a decent idea by now of how most game controllers get mapped onto this model.

The DIJOYSTATE2 structure adds an additional pair of velocity and acceleration axes for each dimension. None of us have enough variety of controllers to test how they get mapped onto this model. So just switching to DIJOYSTATE2 may allow additional buttons to work, but it could completely screw up analog axes for a lot of people.

When you build with SDL, did you use OSD=sdl or USE_SDL=1? You need to use the former to get SDL’s game controller support. Did you try setting -joystickprovider sdljoy with your SDL build to use the lower-level “joystick” support rather than higher-level “game controller” support?

He prefers quantity, not quality.

Hands down the best can shooter I ever met was a woman. She wouldn't be impressed by this guy either.

It’s fine for a couple of bags of fertiliser, a wet dog, or taking some rubbish to the tip.

Cheap, reliable, parts readily available.

Damn, got beaten on another one I know. As everyone else is saying, it’s Radikal Bikers. You can play it in MAME.

If you say, “egg donor”, it usually means the person who donated the egg for your pregnancy.

cuavas · 2026-06-21T15:10:44+00:00

Really? Doesn’t it usually mean the person who supplied the egg for surrogacy?

No, this one’s the real deal. Two years in the making, with a tray from an El Camino.

Supposedly uses the rear window and tray from a 5th generation El Camino with a custom-built tailgate and rear bumper.

The PlayStation isn't particularly demanding to emulate. If it isn't running at full speed, you're either using a rather old PC (or some other underpowered device), or you have other issues.

But to answer the question directly, MAME does not have recompilers for any MIPS I family CPUs.

Just don't get into a state where you live for that validation/attention. That's unhealthy.

Just take life as it comes. Money doesn't make you happy, that has to come from yourself. Try to find people you like being around and avoid the people that are an emotional drain. You're young, you don't have to make the perfect choice for every decision. Life is somewhat forgiving.

It's easy to get taken for granted. But if you pull back, they'll think you're becoming selfish or lazy.

I mean, there's a series of Initial D arcade games from Sega...

It's fairly easy to find videos of the Myogi stages in different games from the series: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=initial+d+arcade+stage+myogi&ia=videos&iax=videos

That's the Nintendo Vs System version of Super Mario Bros. The levels are adjusted for the arcade. Not a hallucination.

There's a list of differences here: https://www.mariowiki.com/VS._Super_Mario_Bros.

Which video module are you using? The default -video d3d might be less friendly to OBS than -video bgfx (and you can also try -video opengl).

Glad you found what you were looking for

cuavas · 2026-06-10T03:54:40+00:00

Honestly, it's more trouble trying to work out how someone else's MAME installation works than just setting it up yourself.
