Command line in Mame Config - Basics TAB

[empardopo]

I want to use Wolfmame 106 with MALA to record my game!

In the command line, i have put: %rom% -record %rom% -joy -skip_gameinfo -nov -noc but with that doesn't record the game.
However, if i use a bat file with this code:
c:\wolf106\mamep106-vc.exe %1 -record %1 -joy -skip_gameinfo -nov -noc

it works fine!!

What am I doing wrong?

The logs will show you what it is passing to mame.

Loadman, what is the log file? mala.exe.log?

Loadman, what is the log file? mala.exe.log?

Yeah It's the name of *.exe.log  eg it could be mala1660.exe.log  or mala.exe.log depending what you are running. It will be easy to tell if you look at the mala folder and sort by last modified file.

Enable logging in the help and credit tab in configuration window

FYI this is what the code does:
      

Code: [Select]

       // replace %path%
                 param := StringReplace(param, '%path%', path, [rfReplaceAll, rfIgnoreCase]);
                 // replace %parent%
                 param := StringReplace(param, '%parent%', parent, [rfReplaceAll, rfIgnoreCase]);
                 // replace %rom%
                 param := StringReplace(param, '%rom%', rom, [rfReplaceAll, rfIgnoreCase]);
                 // replace %ext%
                 param := StringReplace(param, '%ext%', ext, [rfReplaceAll, rfIgnoreCase]);
When launched you see a line in the logs like:
2010/08/07  12:40:23.70   Info: Set dir: C:\mametable\mame\
2010/08/07  12:40:23.70   Info: Starting Game ***: Create process: mame89.exe centipdb

Thanks. I didn't know that option.

Wait.  So what did you do to get it working?

Couldn't you just put that in the wolfmame ini?
