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



kernelpanic:
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

kernelpanic:
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

loadman:
OK.   ;D

It's bedtime in Oz (Australia)

I will work on this Project more tomorrow  :cheers:
