http://www.mediafire.com/download/vppostr1kdd3c99/mameui-0150-cavesh3-nonag-x64.zip
MAMEUI x64 0.150 patched with hiscore/nonag/CaveSH3/NGOC -- and not "cleaned" either, so the clones/hacks still work. I tried Metal Slug and the difference is remarkable, it's not perfect but it's oh-so-much better. Not being nagged every damned time I load a game is awesome too, though I don't think the autofire patch was applied but that's okay.
Thanks to Raph4 over on Emuline.org!
~edit~
As CraweN found out; this is just the modified mameui64.exe - you still need the base installation of MAMEUI 0.150 x64 with which to copy this into <3

It's been so long since I played with MAME that my collection is woefully out of date. One of these days I'll grab a new complete rom dump.

I grabbed the 28GB torrentzip/7z 150 archive from BlackCats yesterday. No full CHD pack (that shit is over 250GB+) but I did get a handful of CPS3 ones along with Gauntlet Legends \o/

Do you have spare invite code for BCG by any chance? There is some rare console stuff I'd like to grab as well.

Believe me you don't. I spent a lot of time and effort to make it work. It did, decently. But then I reached the city and got a taste of a story, dialogue writing and battle system... Good lord, I can't believe this game was made by Sakaguchi. Seems like time took its toll on the old man and he lost it. Lost so much that the game turned to be worse than some mediocre jRPG.

Following on from my discussion with Interinactive earlier, it reminded me to post about HLSL and scanlines in MAME. MAME supports image tweaking via shaders and you can completely customise it yourself, the best one I've seen so far is the so-called "CRT" shader - which not only adds glorious scanlines of CRT monitors and TVs, but also emulates the screen curvature and even the phosphor life/glow and raster bloom. I'm less of a fan of the bloom because even though it was VERY well done and looks just like those old arcade CRTs, I do prefer SOME things to stay in the past 
After trying out various HLSL profiles and tweaks, I finally found one on system11.org. Add this to your "DIRECT3D POST-PROCESSING OPTIONS" section under mame.ini, courtesy of cools over on system11;

The pincushion effect above is, IMO, far too pronounced so I'd recommend playing around with it and see which you prefer - you may prefer no pincushion at all, I enjoy "0.020000" - it's a nice trade-off between mimicking classic CRT and not warping the screen overmuch. If you're using <MAME 0.150 then there's an issue with HLSL that causes MAME to crash if you play a game and then try to load another, this was fixed in 0.150. As for the Raster Bloom option under "Bloom Post Processing";
"raster_bloom_scale"
It defaults to a high value (0.200 or perhaps even 0.250 iirc) that causes a lot of bloom in some games, I've lowered mine to "0.110" and it's much nicer. Your mileage may vary and you can quickly test all the shader settings in-game via the TAB>SLIDERS menu, just be warned that any changes in-game won't write to INI - so if you find some settings you like after tinkering, write the values down and edit the mame.ini file to permanently save them.
Examples of games running without HLSL, with HLSL and raster bloom set to 0.110 and finally HLSL with default 0.200 raster bloom.

Damned impressive if you ask me, looks so much better and more "arcade" natural than the unfiltered pixellated stuff. There's a similar custom made set of OpenGL shaders for emulators like SNES9x and Higan/bSNES too, which I recommended for Inter. So much nicer than playing unfiltered and even nicer than playing with the upscale filters like Sai. In my opinion, of course, everyone has their own tastes  The reason I've been tinkering with MAME so much is because I plan to build a bartop cab.... at some point in my life... not really sure when now, not since losing the only money I had, but definitely planning on it and have been for quite some time. I've got everything except wood and controls and I plan to be using a 17" LCD monitor - so you can see why I've been playing with scanlines and stuff, trying to replicate that arcade feel and it's incredible with HLSL. Naturally the best option would be the SLG3000 but egh... €50 for a scanline generator? No thanks 
~edit~
http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?p=913638#p913638
Yup, default raster_bloom is 0.250! That really does destroy the image in the vast majority of games. 0.200 is bad enough though it can be "cute" in some titles, 0.250 is nuts. Cools also recommends zeroing all the "phosphor_life" settings from "0.200000,0.200000,0.200000" to "0.000000,0.000000,0.000000"

Well, the guy can be served a cease-and-desist, but there's no technological reason why it can't happen... With Valve moving towards openess, they'll be disinclined to close this down (which is not to say they won't help Sony and Nintendo shutter it, just that I can't see them shutting this down of their own accord).

Valve can't stop you from creating/using an emulator 
As for Sony, Nintendo, etc plenty of emulators on PC already and they haven't done shit. Actually Sony tried to stop emulators two times more than a decade ago and both times the court said "sorry, nope, it's legal".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Computer_Entertainment,_Inc._v._Connectix_Corporation
| Quote: | | Sony Computer Entertainment v. Connectix Corporation, 203 F.3d 596 (2000), is a decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals which ruled that the copying of a copyrighted BIOS software during the development of an emulator software does not constitute copyright infringement, but is covered by fair use. The court also ruled that Connectix Corp. had not tarnished Sony's PlayStation trademark by selling its emulator software, the Virtual Game Station. |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleem!#Sony_lawsuit
| Quote: | Two days after Bleem! started taking preorders for their emulator, Sony filed suit against them alleging that they were violating their rights and that providing access for PlayStation games to run on non-Sony hardware constituted unfair competition.
Ultimately Bleem! won in court and a protective order was issued to "protect David from Goliath". Sony lost on all counts, including Bleem!'s use of screenshots of PlayStation games on its packaging. The court noted that Bleem!'s use of copyrighted screenshots was considered fair use and should be allowed to continue.
Despite the legal victories, the legal fees allegedly forced the company out of business. eBay auctions of some of the company's possessions were held soon after - including a huge library of worldwide game releases apparently used for compatibility testing. |

It's written there. The important thing is that was the last time (as far as I know) that anyone tried to prove that emulation is illegal (and fail).
Today it is widely accepted as ok:
Kotaku and other blogs used to have (maybe they still do, I don't know) "here is how game x looks on Dolphin" articles very frequently.
Digital foundry has used PS2 emulation to compare how PS2 remasters fair compared to the original game emulated.
etc

Yup, default raster_bloom is 0.250! That really does destroy the image in the vast majority of games. 0.200 is bad enough though it can be "cute" in some titles, 0.250 is nuts. Cools also recommends zeroing all the "phosphor_life" settings from "0.200000,0.200000,0.200000" to "0.000000,0.000000,0.000000"

Kotaku and other blogs used to have (maybe they still do, I don't know) "here is how game x looks on Dolphin" articles very frequently. |
They still do.
