While playing around with MacPortrait and my Dell P1917s LCD rotating monitor, I thought it would be cool to see how vertically-oriented arcade games would look on it. Bottom line is that they look awesome in MacMAME 0.28, which is the last version compatible with System 7.

I was able to find a rom set for 0.8 and 0.37b5 from archive.org and combined the working roms into one set of 93 games compatible with MacMAME 0.28. Unfortunately I can't find working roms of some of my favorites like Burgertime, Discs of Tron, Galaga, Jungle Hunt, Popeye, Wizard of Wor, and Xevious.  Anyone have a full working rom set for version 0.28?

Thanks in advance!

Using the Hotline Server here, I was able to piece together about 166 working roms for MacMAME 0.28!  They're available for download from the CQ AppleTalk file server at afp://cqbbs.ddns.net if anyone is interested.

In the process I discovered that MacMAME 0.33b3 also runs in System 7 on my 6100 and it has 500+ games for it!  Those individual roms are on the System 7 Today Hotline Server, but not in one big compressed file.  I asked admin to compress them all up into one file so we'll see what happens...

Wow! Great! If you'd like, you can always upload the packaged ROM's to the Hotline server and we can distribute them from there as well.

Good job! :)
