Ive got two cabinets running Windows 7 and MA is working great. I have a new build with Windows 10. After I set all of my settings and try to launch MA, it says it can't find MAME executable and I need to set it up. I basically get caught in a loop of verifying the settings and launching with the error. MAME works fine on it's own. It's version .175.
I understand this is a "dead" front end but after spending countless hours trying to set up and use these newer FE's I just keep wanting to go back to MA. I've tried Launchbox, it was such a clusterF*$k and kept pulling every single MAME game on the planet instead of the 8 I need for that cabinet. I tried MGalaxy, it doesn't work with arcade controls (what idiot created that?!) I tried using JoyToKey with it but escape will not quit MAME. This whole thing is insanely frustrating. I'd go back and install Win 7 but the update servers have been turned off. I'm at a real loss here. If there's some trick to make Maximus work on Windows 10, I'd love to hear it!
