              @shift Don't know about any pre-compiled versions besides the libretro buildbot.libretro.com site, but you can pull that version from the github.com repository and build the version you need.

                It would be rather complex, i doubt he will be interested since he is probably asking this to avoid having to update his romsets.

                  That's right, also because now the fbalpha team (fbneo now) is implementing the same policy as the mame and it becomes a problem to match romset and "executable".

                    it becomes a problem to match romset

                    1. finding a website providing latest known arcade dumps => less than 5 minutes
                    2. downloading them => depends on your bandwidth, doesn't really take any time actively doing something
                    3. running clrmamepro to make sure everything is alright => 10 minutes, 15 if you never used it and have to find&follow a tutorial

                    I don't think spending less than 1 hour every 2 years (.43 is from 2018) to update your romsets is such a big problem, tbh it's kinda insulting considering several thousands hours of work were spent by the devs to improve the emulator in the meantime.
                    Anyway, yeah, now i apply strict CRC compliance policy, and that's a good thing because i don't spend hours anymore when people report weird issues while they are just using wrong romsets.

                      You misunderstood what I wrote. It's not a problem of updating the romsets, that's the easiest thing to do. The problem is having a compiled version that doesn't change every week. I know very well the effort of you developers, but in fact mine was just a simple request to be able to have the possibility (as happens for MAME) to also use pre-compiled files for previous versions, first of all 0.2.97.43, that's all .

                        How about not updating if you don't want to update ? No one is forcing you to update it every week, and there aren't romset changes every week anyway.
