« on: December 04, 2013, 08:29:49 am »
Hi, I'd like to use mgalaxy as a frontend and is looking for a mame.exe, can I rename groovymame.exe in mame.exe and keep all the features and especially the dynamic modelines functionnality?

Thanks.

You can rename the executable to whatever you like, no problem.
Important note: posts reporting GM issues without a log will be IGNORED.
Steps to create a log:
 - From command line, run: groovymame.exe -v romname >romname.txt
 - Attach resulting romname.txt file to your post, instead of pasting it.

Thanks.  :)

Any known problem with mgalaxy as a frontend (like Hyperspin and the custom modelines limits for example)?
