Mame Hooker 3.0 
Saturday, February 20, 2010, 12:25 AM - Mame Hooker
After a very lengthly absence, my first NEW piece of software!

Mamehooker adds a ton of features and bugfixes. Main highlights include support for wiimotes, xbox 360 controllers, speech synthesis and more. For those of you that want a more lengthy "what's new" read the readme. I would post it but the last version of mamehooker released to the public was 2.1 and we are on 3.0 now. The link is in the interop section to the right.

While we are on the subject, the mamehooker section will be redesigned to include sample scripts, layouts and real-life examples. Also we've started a mini-project of documenting all the outputs in mame. I will be working on all of that next. Also the source code will be up soon, but I need to clean out the source folder first.

Mame Hooker source code back in sync.

Version 2.1 of the source code is up. Be warned, the addition of the pac-drive was a bit of a hack and as of this build it is rather messy in there.

Mame Hooker 2.1!

This release, amoung other minor bug fixes adds Pac-Drive support! Andy himself did the testing, so be sure to thank him!

Mame Hooker 2.0 Released! (And an Apology) 
Monday, July 30, 2007, 12:33 AM - Mame Hooker
Mame Hooker 2.0 is out!

Major updates include but are not limited to:

Command-line/DDE support, which means that developers of front ends and emulators can interact with mamehooker directly via dde interface and users can send commands to an already running mamehooker by simply launching it again with command line options.

Fixed various bugs with the new display system.

Added a more advanced force-feedback command, and a launch and wait command.

Also mamehookerstart and mamehookerstop have been added.


The source code won't be up for a while as it needs cleaning.

It's in the interop section to the right, grab it now!


On a side note, it has been a while since the new site has been up and although I promised some big releases this summer, I haven't exactly made good with that promise. Unfortunately the real world often takes away from my programming time and summer has gotten away from me. Big releases are still on the way, just be patient. I promise, it should be worth the wait.
