I could not find this answer, so I apologize if this has already been discussed. Somewhat of a noob, but have been learning A LOT.
I have Maximus 2.10 running with MAME 183 and a few other non-MAME systems. Thinking of adding a few more consoles that say use MAME (or MESS- which I know merged). It took me so long to work out the MAME/Maximus config, I'm afraid I'll muck something up.
My question is: For the additional consoles which can also use MAME/MESS- like Atari 7800, C64, Intellivision, etc. Do I need to run the MAME install program and have a completely separate folder for each of the files and exe for each emu? I actually downloaded MESS .151 and was thinking of just using that instead of even playing with fire installing MAME. Or do I just "point" to the different ROM folders in Maximus while using the same (and only) executable?
Thank you in advance!
