Nick, if you want the highest fidelity (not always 100% possible, although we try), then use just MAME. Its function is that, to preserve the history of the chess computer through emulation, romdumping, documentation, etc.
But I understand that the aim of CB-Emu is more than that, what sense would it make to repeat the same thing? CB-Emu, as a fork of MAME, has added useful features that are highly valued by users, and one of them is not purism. I think the two projects can coexist, they are not mutually exclusive.
Unfortunately, I have to disagree with you, Gerardo.
These additional features are optional, i.e. as long as you do not use/activate them, the engines in CB-Emu behave exactly like in the official MAME version. Or have you perhaps had a different experience?
Differences are only possible (but rather unlikely) between CB-Emu, MessExtra and MessNew if the emulations in MAME were somehow changed or improved between the corresponding MAME versions (0.175, 0.220 and 0.265) - at least the new MessNew corresponds (almost) completely to the current MAME.
