And you find CRT-GEOM or even CRT-Royale-Kurozumi amongst them! Shader options are also very convenient. It is by far the most convenient way of applying shaders for MAME games.

Shaders built in, can be changed in the game on the fly.

A more objective testing than playing games you know does not seem to be available. While there is nothing documented about this, so far all games work flawlessly. OpenEmu claims to have developed a Metal backend for better performance in MacOS.

Up to date - current MAME Core is 0.217 (note: the MAME Core only comes with the 'Experimental' version of OpenEmu!).

So you must be in the MAME working directory! Warning: starting mame64 with double-click does not work in the right way -> so start via Terminal as explained here. Open Terminal and switch to your MAME working directory (easiest way: type 'cd' and then drag the mame directory from the Finder into the Terminal -> press Return in the Terminal window) As long as you do not forget about the ini directory when moving to a new MAME version, this is probably easiest to handle, and the /Library/Application Support directory stays clean of MAME config files. ini files created in the first step into the ini subdirectory. This means of course that you have to move the three. ini files in the MAME sub-directory called ini, thus I reduce this line as follows: inipath ini ini files in a certain order, you may be lost in chaos. ini files at multiple places rather easily. ini' Recommendation: In my own experience, this is rather unfortunate, because you may end up with multiple. I nipath '$HOME/Library/Application Support/mame $HOME/.mame.

By default, mame.ini contains the following multiple ini paths:.

Ui.ini - your configuration file for the MEWUI interface Plugin.ini - your configuration file for activating and deactivating MAME Plugins

Mame.ini - your overall configuration file for MAME mame64 -cc generates the three default config files in your mame directory:

Now in the Terminal and in the right directory, the command.

Start Terminal and cd into your directory of MAME (recommendation: name your main directory mame, see above).

This should save you from a lot of headache by multiple. ini files in the Terminal and manually configure ini pathsĪfter a lot of testing, my recommendation is to create your first. This definitely helps you further on to stay consistent and carry on your work from version to version. Recommendation: I currently keep my running MAME version in the folder 'mame' and keep only older versions in a version-related directory.
