Hello

The Archive.org items used my MAME-AO to obtain assets don't seem to be getting updated anymore.

If you want to run the latest/new machines in MAME nothing after 0267 (not sure exactly) will work automatically, because it isn't on Archive.org.

If you want to use MAME-AO for new stuff you will need to obtain assets elsewhere then use the import function. http://localhost:12380/import

Not sure if the Archive.org items will continue to get updated? Maybe the chap is just on holiday? I don't know.

You can see what is missing using the MAME-AO "Source Exists" reports.

TuftyDog SL CHD archive.org items removed in 1.97

Some SL CHD will still work but its a bit iffy.

You can run report SESD to see what is avaialble.

Some CHD have bad SHA1 so look in the console if MAME don't start. Bad CHD have their file hash (not the CHD hash) stored in _BadSources.txt so you don't download them again.

Will have to come up with a replacement plan.

This seems to be somewhat resolved with the 270 release; while I didn't test all the roms, the ones that I did (most of exidy and a couple others) worked without incident.

Hello @ckolos

If you run the SE reports you can see

Looks like I'll have to take matters into my own hands.

I've been working on archive.org upload functionality.
