Why do people use versions like 0.34 and 0.35 final for recordings? because they are final, stable versions of MAME. And they also insure that people don't have to put up with a lot of hassle if they want to view a recording.(posted 9479 days ago)Think about it. In a few months, that beta of MAME isn't going to be "new" any more. It might have been fun to record all those games with m36b1 now, but why bother with that version when mame35 supported them all along? now if anyone wants to watch one of your recordings, they have to go find MAME 0.36 beta 1 if they don't have it. Final versions usually aren't that much of a pain provided that others are using it for the majority of recordings, but obviously for some reason you think new always equals better. So why do you think using the newest version is best?
