  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Most frontends will allow this. Check the documentation of the frontend you use.

If you're not using a frontend, just load the game from the commandline:

mame romname

mame gamename
Mame romname

That may save some confusion.
