What was the last MAME to support Akai Katana & Dodonpachi Saidaioujou

Technically speaking, no version of MAME was released with support for both Akai Katana and Dodonpachi Saidaioujou.


Akai Katana (2010/ 8/13 MASTER VER.) went into MAME on Oct 31 2017.
It was released with MAME 0.192 (Nov 29 2017) and remained in MAME through MAME 0.239 (Dec 29 2021).

However, the ROM definitions for DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou (2012/ 4/20) went into MAME on Dec 30 2021, just a few days from the beginning of the MAME 0.240 development cycle. The ROM definitions for Dodonpachi Saidaioujou were changed later that day to match better info.
And then the ROM definitions were commented out on Dec 31 2021 due to a request from exA-Arcadia, the current rightsholder.

The release of MAME 0.239 was on Dec 29 2021, and the release of MAME 0.240 was on Jan 30 2022, meaning that an official release of a new version of MAME including Dodonpachi Saidaioujou never took place.

Technically, I guess you could say that the final version of MAME that supported both titles would have been the version of the sourcecode as of the commit before the one which removed those games.
