Looking for 64 bit version of mame 32 around version 98

Hi guys. I might be getting a different computer that runs the 64 bit version of windows. My back up discs of mame 32 are the 32 bit version wich aren't compatible. Can anyone tell me were i can find a 64 bit version of mame 32? Im looking for version 98 or as close to it as possible. Thanks!

Just go to http://mamedev.org/ and download the latest version.

Also, what used to be called "Mame32" is now called MameUI.

You won't find a 64bit version of MAME 0.98...64bit CPUs (At least x86 based) didn't even exist when that MAME version was released. (Most)32bit apps run fine in 64bit versions of Windows though.
 
64 bit will run faster on a 64 bit machine than a 32 bit program. You could get the source for the older version and roll your own 64 bit if you are after the maximum performance.
 
Thanks guys, i tryed the latest version of mame ui on my current pc and it wont run for some reason. I have ui version 128 and it runs great but for some reason the latest version just keeps popping up errors.

I was thinking of building a new mame cab with a $300.00 new hp computer and im worried that i might have troube getting the 32 bit versions of mame ui and mame 32 to run on it. I was never smart enough to firure out the other versions of mame.
 
The 32 bit versions will run fine on a 64 bit machine; however, the 64 bit version will have better performance if you are wanting to try some of the newer games that have trouble running at full speed.

Are the errors due to issues with the ROMs? ROMs change between versions on some games.
 
Thanks, i installed 7 zip or what ever its called and made some progress, i can get the games to run if i use any thing but direct 3d but the sound is choppy when i try to use direct 3d it says it cant find the direct 3d device.

That's a serious misnomer and just plain presumptuous, and the entire reason I haven't switched over to a 64bit OS yet...I have tried, benchmarked and found in DOZENS of 64bit binaries for apps/games I use that things are actually SLOWER.

Really depends on what it is, how the code is optimized and how the operating system itself handles things. MAME might be well optimized for 64bit, and provide better performance over it's 32bit counterpart, but I can't say....but as a broad based general statement, you're incorrect.

My statement was directed at MAME and not for other software. Google it. It is well documented that 64 bit MAME outperforms 32 bit MAME on a 64 bit OS like Windows 7 64 bit. I've tried it as have others. I've never heard of anyone finding otherwise. The performance boost is significant.
