[Blindapple] I'm trying to download the Apple2E with Echo MESS emulator

[Jayson Smith]

Hi,

I don't know when this happened, but apparently the MAME project has 
stopped providing 32-bit Windows binaries. I'm assuming here that your 
XP system is 32-bit and not 64-bit. If that's not correct, the latest 
MAME may be able to work on XP, though I'm not sure. Since I have 
nothing whatsoever to do with the development of MAME, there's not much 
if anything I can do about this. Does anyone else have any thoughts?

Thanks,

Jayson
