This is the initial release of the Windows Port for Ample.
It is synchronized with upstream Ample r77 and MAME 0.285.

✨ Features

  • Native Windows Experience: Built with Python/Qt to replicate the macOS look and feel pixel-perfectly on Windows 10/11.
  • Integrated MAME Manager:
    • Official MAME 0.285 downloader and auto-setup.
    • Automatic System ROM downloading (with multi-mirror failover).
  • Performance:
    • Multi-threaded ROM downloading.
    • Deferred XML loading for instant machine switching.
    • DirectX / Vulkan / OpenGL rendering support.
  • Unique to Windows:
    • MAME-VGM Mod Support: Automated setup for VGM music logging (requires optional download).
    • Portable: Just unzip and run, no installation required.

📦 Installation

  1. Download AmpleWin-v0.285.zip.
  2. Unzip to any folder.
  3. Run AmpleWin.exe.
  4. Go to Settings -> Download MAME to set up the emulator core.

📝 Notes

  • MAME executable and ROMs are not included in the zip to minimize size and respect distribution rights. The app will help you download them legally.
