happy now? mwahahahaha :lol Capt. Quark from the Ratchet and Clank franchise - he's such a :censored:, lol

ok, that's cool
I can write whatever batch commands we need, but if I read all this correctly, it's a single command called from the hi folder which by design should be subordinate to the MAME folder and you know where that is.
hitotext -ra %rom% > %rom%.txt
but it may need to be wrapped in a BAT file to take advantage of the redirection from stdout to the .txt file

ok, so this uses a mala/hi folder - that's cool. will take some minor tweaks to the BAT file
Works great though :cheers: :applaud: :applaud:
tabbing/formatting is going to be a real bear - look at this wrally file

I modified the prelim guide posted higher up in this thread
1) removed references to MAME.BAT and changes to the MaLa config for that
2) added a step to create a hi folder subordinate to MaLa
3) I'm not sure where you want the BAT file to be, but for now, I placed it in the MaLa/hi folder
In the end, it looks like you could just create the BAT file on the fly since you know where MAME/hi is and you know where MaLa/hi is. That would remove any requirement for users to even write the BAT file and avoid confusion on PATHS etc.
Could even just look for MAME/hi when MaLa is started for the first time (when the .ini file is missing) and then make sure that MaLa/hi is created/exists
This could be real bulletproof

OK. ;D
