Moving MAME directories for testing but get "missing files error"...?
Rulkiewicz:
I'm trying to run a few tests with some neogeo roms, so I copied and pasted my working MAME dir to a temp dir and paste neogeo roms in the ROMS dir, but when I launch mame.exe even though I see the roms in the play list, when I try to run them I get the "missing files" error message. When I launch the original mame.exe and run the same roms from the original ROMS directory everything works.
Do I have to modify some type of file to make mame.exe run roms after I move them around?

check your rom path in the INI.
Also make sure you copy and paste the Neogeo.zip (BIOS) file.

They're fine, still doesn't work.

The ultimate goal is to run NeoGeo from a completely separate MAME.exe than my arcade games, due to button control setup. I really don't want to set all neogeo games inputs individually. But whenever I move my neogeo roms in to a new Mame folder structure, when I run the new mame.exe, I get the error. What's odd is that the games appear in the list properly still.

Anyone know why I'm getting this error?
