Is MAME .184 being ported?
-
Just wondering

It might be the wrong forum for asking that question. You could try the Libretro forums. :)

@jacobjub Buzz said it requires gcc 5.0 to compile and won't implement it for now. No real reason because it'll be slow for most games. Mame 2016 is the latest version available for the pi but it requires the mame 0.174 romset. It also takes 3hrs+ to compile.
If you want bleeding edge, try the latest fba. It uses the mame 0.187 romset but doesn't support all the games.

Sorry I was just referring him upstream to the originating source code authors or some fork. I'm not sure how they decide which versions they want to code next. At one point I think there was some "challenges" between them and the official MAME authors but not so much anymore plus all the forks. It always seems to come from upstream somewhere. You just need to sit downstream as not to do the "heavy" core work! ;)
