can't import favorites.ini to MA
« on: January 15, 2015, 06:56:08 pm »
Hi, there seems to be a problem importing favorites.ini  in to MA using preferences as it does not like the format, there also seems to be a problem building a list from favorites.INI in preferences. Any ideas ??

I'm a noob in Maximus but
1.- Are you launching preferences.exe or pressing CTRL+P from Maximus Arcade.exe? I've read any problems using preferences.exe ...
2.- Can you share this favorites.ini with me to check it?

Greetings

Thanks for the reply, I will share my favorites when I get home from work tonight which is about 11 hours. :-)

Here is my favorites file. I had even changed once to Mame.INI because that's what one area looks for to import. The other area tries to build a list from favorites.ini

I had to compress the file to .rar, upload wouldnt accept the file extension .ini
