r. belmont is a bit salty that we're not using mame's mac |

Somewhere I can see, or what |

Or do I even want to see |

It is resoundingly unhealthy to think of using multiple emulators as betrayal, but Belmont keeps it light |
|
19:13
🔗
|
SketchCow |
You were clear why |
|
19:15
🔗
|
SketchCow |
Ideally, MAME does it faster and better across time |
|
19:15

|
SketchCow |
Also, why do none of these people talk to me; it's silly |

belmont has a thing about irc |

Belmont has 9 ways to contact me |

They all do. |

"-sl5 echoii" or "-sl5 echoiiplus" should be the magic for speech synth support |
|

SketchCow |
What's an example of an item using speech synth |
|
19:30
🔗
|
SketchCow |
I got it working |

SketchCow |
But of course the one he mentions is a second floppy |

Which we can't do |

On the other hand, a random set of machines are going to talk now |

you can add extra arguments in the json file |
|

|
db48x |
extra_args: ["-sl5", "echoii"] |

DFJustin: you could point out that we can have both mame-macplus and pce-macplus emulators on IA, using PCE where perfect accuracy isn't actually needed |
|
21:37
🔗
|
db48x |
and MAME where it is |
|
21:59
🔗
|
bai |
yeah, ultimately this is just about what we can use to deliver the most access as easily as possible, if there are cases where mame works better no reason for us not to do that too |
|
22:05

|
db48x |
I can understand the pain of creating a perfect implementation that nobody uses |
|
22:06
🔗
|
db48x |
(for ridiculous reasons like the perfect implementation of the slow speed of an ancient floppy drive ;) |
|
22:06
🔗
|
bai |
yeah there's a limit to how much realism people actually want :P |
|
22:07
🔗
|
bai |
that's what I like about this stuff, in some ways you can configure these old systems to be their peak versions, better than what you had in the day |

if mame supported comprehensive snapshotting that might help |
|
22:25
🔗
|
db48x |
Vito`: it absolutely would |
|
22:26
🔗
|
db48x |
it would be awesome for other things as well |
|
22:34
🔗
|
db48x |
I bet it would be possible to automatically launch a program in the mac, if we had a boot disk with applescript |

build/compile/link/debug PCE was a pleasure, mame build machinery is a pain, I'm not a fan of mammoth project |
|
22:45
🔗
|
bai |
mame is definitely more powerful overall yeah, but that power and flexibility comes at a cost, complexity |
|

mame is best at arcade, really great for that |

mame supports snapshotting |

DFJustin: but not for every system |
