Caltrops - M.A.M.E.





	[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"][quote name="Fussbett"]I'm also deleting early "sets" of games that have multiple sets. Can anyone (ICJ) think of why I'd need set 1 and set 2 of a game when I can play set 3, which is the latest? Like, maybe I'd want to play set 2 because there was a bug in that particular version that I'd want to see? If that's the best argument, then fuck all that and let's keep the paring rolling.[/quote] Right, the bug thing is the main deal. I suppose Gauntlet and the like have their two-player and four-player versions there, of course. Oh, and there may be a separate ROM set if the cocktail/environmental/cockpit version of the game is supported. However, I think that the dev team eventually decided that, rather than have a 8KB file for Polybius v1.0 and an 8KB file for Polybius v2.0, they could change the v2.0 file to only be the <i>differences</i> between it and version 1.0. Resulting in a savings of like 7 entire kilobytes! This means that if you want the bug fixed (i.e. later) version on your system you need to carry both zip files around. In your above example, I do believe that you'd be safe if you had set 1 and set 3 on your system. If you just had set 3 MAME probably wouldn't allow you to play it. All the Pacman games need puckman.zip available, for instance. pacman.zip is just made up of those changed ROMs from puckman.zip. ICJ [/quote]
