Question on current MAME releases

I built a cab several years ago and I believe the last version of MAME I had in there was...err...well I can't remember.

What I do remember is that it was one of the first releases to support the HD based games like Area 51 and such, tho the computer in my MameCAB (a 1.4Ghz Athlon system from ancient times, it now seems!) was woefully incapable of running them. Still it played all the classics.

But since then its been ages since I've even sniffed at MAME....is there a page out there that shows you the lists (or screenshots) of the newer games supported with each release? This way I can see if its even worthwhile to bother upgrading to a newer version.

Thanks

Yeah arcade controls is great, thats the place I hung when I was building my cab oh, ages ago......I was just wondering if MAME actually had any new games *worth playing* is all.

I was trying to find a list of games and it looks like.....a bunch of obscure "you'd never play it anyways" clones, a bunch of hard drive games that nobody can play due to accuracy, and a couple new fighting games.

???? I think the release I have has the two AD&D side-scrollres, etc..I think it was one of the last of the "really good releases"....I really need to fire it up and find out.

I remember hooking up a wheel to my cab and trying to play through like...Cruisin World, and then going "WTF am I doing", and I fired up Need FOr Speed Underground. 800x better graphics and performance, so MAME has its limitations.

Do you need to use the command line executable version of MAME for GameEX? Honestly I ran Mame32 for so long I never felt a need to switch......

OH and nice job on the Cab..is that an original or repo artwork, looks nice and clean....
