I've recently downloaded Maximus and tried to install it to no avail.  I keep getting an 'invalid media location' for mame.  I've set the option/mame scan time to 400 seconds and checked force rescan.   The paths are correct.

Any suggestions or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.

Is Maximus still supported?

Thanks.

Yep!  That's it!  The correct extension needed to be entered to scan listed in the preferences as now Mame roms are not zips but 7z!

Thanks.
