Moving MAME directories for testing but get "missing files error"...?
<< < (2/2)
bkenobi:
The only reason MAME would say it can't find the rom file is if it can't find a valid rom file.  This could be because the path is wrong or because the file is wrong.  Check your command line, mame.ini (or whatever your flavor of MAME calls it), and that the rom files are valid for that version of MAME.

If all else fails, simplify things.  Remove the mame.ini file from the MAME root directory (or rename it).  Only have the one rom you want to check in a specific path that you define (or in the "roms" dir under your root MAME dir.  Launch with the simplest command line possible "mame.exe <rom name>".

It seems I need to update my rom versions.  How do I do this?
