headkaze Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 MAME 0180 includes a patch I wrote to support showing menus from within a lua plugin. I've written a simple plugin for GameEx to demonstrate it. Simply copy the plugin into your MAME folder (overwrite the socket.dll with the x86 version if you're using a 32-bit compiled MAME). Now when you press pause in MAME a menu will pop up allowing you to control GameEx's built in server. Make sure you have it enabled in the Setup Wizard under "GameExtender Settings". If you use the default IP and port 127.0.0.1:8383 it should work out-of-the-box. I'm hoping this plugin will inspire other developers to try out MAME's new lua plugin system and come up with some new and exciting ideas. gameex_plugin.zip 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stigzler Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Nice add-on. Not overly into Mame at the moment, but the ideas look interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
