Muffins are great by unknownfile at 11:55 AM EDT on March 9, 2009
Despite what you may think, this thread does not relate to muffins. Actually, it might, but I don't think it does. What I think it relates to is anything.
It's been a long time since the summer of 2005 when I was bored at summer camp. I have therefore decided that now, it is about time for me to be baking muffins once again.
Watch this thread for more information on the pastries and what becomes of them. They will be served fresh over here.
Most of this is carrying over scraps of code from SMSE2K, because I figure it'd be better.
Anyways, there are several versions of this format, one that was made back in 2005 when I knew nothing about hackan gaems (basically just a container for M1 to use), and another that Joshw did but required DLLs. This one is using metadata that contains information about a specific driver.
Next week I have off, so it means I have plenty of time to do whatever I want, besides my job and other stuff that is likely to be brought up.
Latest M1 is here: http://rbelmont.mameworld.info/?page_id=223
You'll probably want to use the Bridge GUI for it, which is here: http://www.e2j.net/downloads.html
You don't need special sound files. M1 is a sound-only multiple arcade emulator that uses the ROMs you already have, and it can record the songs (and often sound effects) to .WAV.
Don't forget about the latest M1.XML definition file: http://mameload.mameworld.info/m1xmldownload.htm (has some more games supported, since the one in official package is ancient) and the playlist pack: http://www.e2j.net/files/lists.zip
