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. MAME OS X 0.124 MAME OSX emulator is another port of the MAME project to the Apple OS X only this time it is a native Mac OS X port and as such It is tries to use all the new things in OS X - such as Core Video and Core Image to improve the speed and performance of the emulation and in general give you a better gameplay experience.

MAME OS X picked up where MacMAME had left off. The final MacMAME version was 0.103u2 for PPC-only, whereas the initial release of 'MAME OS X' was version 0.109 Universal Binary. Regarding the ui, this program 'started from scratch' reinvented the wheel so to say, and the earliest versions of MAME OS X were littered with crashes, bugs, and lacking features. The two versions here are the only ones we might want to play with; they are the two most recent versions, as nothing was released between them, and updates ceased after v0.135 was released a long time ago.

These two MAME versions have many differences.

The format of the cheats database differs (ascii in 0.124 vs. xml in 0.135). One database cannot satisfy both these app versions. And app v0.124 is very slow at parsing the cheats db, many seconds wasted every time any game launches with cheating possible.

Ability to use cheats database is broken in MAME OS X v0.135 and Release Notes fails to describe the necessary work being put in.

Many ROM files aren't compatible. When I moved from old MacMAME 0.103 into this MAME OS X 0.124 around 10% of my ROMs collection needed updating. I did each one manually myself, and the nice result was my one ROM library can be used in both apps 0.124 and 0.103 - next when I moved from 0.124 to 0.135 an additional 20% of my ROMs needed updating, including the entire NeoGeo series. I found that half the bad ROM files only needed renaming. v0.124 had restricted filenames to 8 chr, v0.135 introduced allowing 9 or more chr. Typically the ROMs needing to be renamed are 8 chr clones of 8 chr parents, especially when the 8 chr results ended up being out of alphabetical order, and its new 9 chr name puts them in order. Down to 10% ROMs needing help, i found that half again the bad ROMs were easy to fix by just replacing that one NeoGeo bios file. The leftover 5% I repaired individually manually, and now I am running every title in a 230 ROM collection from within MacMAME 0.103 (the highest version for OSX Jaguar), MAME OS X 0.124 & MAME OS X 0.135 .. it can be done.

dL #1 is v0.124 made April 23 2008.
dL #2 is v0.135 dated November 15 2009.

The first-only time either of these run, I see an endless waiting progressbar. Quitting and relaunching always puts a stop to that (see also the menu MAME OS X > Preferences > General > Check for updates at startup).

dL #3 is cheats database v0.126 the highest cheats file that plugs in to this app v0.124 but cannot be used with app v0.135 .. to use it, unzip and put the 'cheats.dat' file into your ~home/Library/Application Support/MAME OS X/ and then tick menu MAME OS X > Preferences > General > Enable cheat

dL #4 is Neo-Geo plugin for v0.124 (and older). To use it, do NOT unzip. Backup and remove any other 'neogeo.zip' file in your ROMs folder; rename this file to become 'neogeo.zip' in your ROMs folder. This is the same file found on the MacMAME page.

dL #5 is Neo-Geo plugin for v0.135 (and newer including the latest as of writing this). To use it, do NOT unzip. Backup and remove any other 'neogeo.zip' file in your ROMs folder; rename this file to become 'neogeo.zip' in your ROMs folder.

Often when a NeoGeo game ROM faults upon moving from one MAME version to another, the ROM can be repaired without downloading a new one (because passing the checksum test means a repair was successful). The change in a NeoGeo game ROM usually involves altering the state of the second bank in a file with two or more banks, so either the filelen gets cut in half, or padded with all 1s/copied on itself to double in size, or, if the filelen doesn't change then maybe the state of an existing 2nd bank switches between all 1s and a copy.

dL #6 is the one Sound Samples folder that completely satisfies every version of MAME OS X ever made (0.135 down to 0.109). This was created by correctly merging the samples from 0.139 with those from 0.106 which all had come from archive.org

dL #7 is cheats database v0.123 for MAME app v0.124 to use in the small chance that db v0.126 doesn't do what you want. I have notice many changes were packed tightly across MAME v0.124 through v0.126 so this file might be needed in some specific cases.
