Mame .ini creation steps help
jcutler0902:
Hello,
I am trying to create an .ini file to start this long but fun process.
Here is what I have done. My mame path is outlined below
E:\HyperSpin\Emulators\Mame
Open a command prompt:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>cd E:\HyperSpin\Emulators\Mame
E:\HyperSpin\Emulators\Mame>mame -cc
'mame' is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file.
I have gone over my path and steps..Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Using XP service pack 3
Mame 0.141
Thanks
Jason

In the command prompt window, type:
cd\ (hit ENTER)
It should take you to E:\
Now type cd Hyperspin (hit ENTER)
Now type cd emulators (hit ENTER)
Now type cd Mame (hit ENTER)
You should now be at E:\HyperSpin\Emulators\Mame
Now type mame -cc (hit ENTER)
That should work.

Are you sure the executable name is mame? Depending on how it was compiled, it could be a different name, ie mame64. Also, add the .exe as well; it didn't create the ini file on mine without it, although I didn't get an error.

Thanks for the quick replies.
The first set of steps worked fine and matched line for line.
However I still got the same error.
I tried the second step and the executble is .exe and still nothing.
Still stuck...
***UPDATE...iti finally created it.. Thanks all.

Once you are in the right directory, type DIR to see if mame is in there.
