hi
I see the mame core is still version 0.230 while 0.231 is released. Do we just have to wait or is there somebody we can ask to release the update of the mame core?
thx
Yes, just have to wait. The guy who updates it usually gets it a week or two later.

Any news regarding this? 0.232 is out for a while now and RetroArch is still stuck with 0.230. Next two versions have some nice sound updates.
I donāt remember ācurrent MAMEā core ever being this lateā¦

Wow, those are great news! I thought maybe those changes they made to Mame 0.231 for Contra to run properly were to much to implement or something. And we wonāt see another version of Mame!!! Great to hear the progress is moving. Eager to try the new one!
Definitely not, it took me 5 minutes to backport that fix to FBNeo 2 months ago. The only reason they made a big deal out of that fix is because some recentish konami anthology re-release had this bug too.
You make it look like it was really easy ) You developers are magicians for me. Iām so far away from all the coding stuffā¦ Didnāt hear about anthology stuff. Will be interesting to read discussions. I love contra. What made me wonder like that was the long pause since 0.230 It was just the version I was waiting for as a point to update my Arcade games collection. And just after I finished sorting, I discovered that 0.230 introduced the bug with missing music in Jackalā¦ One of my favorites ) And also this Contra thing got me wanting to finish arcade version finally. So I was waiting and waiting for new coreā¦ Didnāt use MAME because Iām lazy to read and figure out how to change shaders settings there. Itās so easy with them in Retroarch. FBNeo is great too, tried it recently and loved it. Itās especially super useful for playing Rotary Joystick games ) Still canāt understand if itās still possible to sort those controls in MAME. If it is, I guess itās not easy. The only problem for me is not all MAME romsets are compatible and I canāt figure how to build FBNeo setsā¦ Tried following guides and it didnāt work. Iāll try again someday.

Thanks! ) I know about that compilation and would like to read the conversation about contra stuff.
Oh, about building romsets. I think I did how I was told from there, but it didnāt work. Anyway, Iāll try again.
So can this be merged/compiled by any user or does it have to be a certain admin?
Has anyone a functional 0.232 core is what iām asking. Downloader still has the 0.230 version.
You can build from open PRs, but I would hope it gets merged soon. Iāll see if I can hasten it along.

Are there any news regarding this issue?
Nothing since we talked about it on github
waiting on 0.233 now 
I wouldnāt mind if we were stuck with 232 for a whileā¦ 231/232 had some big updates with Contra and the sound in many boards. So i would be happy with just that. If anyone can share a compiled version i would be grateful.
232 should be coming soon. I got verification that my issues were isolated to me, so Twinaphex should be merging the 232 PR soon if not already.

Itās safe to assume that Twinaphex is on a long vacation? 
Core got updated to 0.232 today for anyone following.
