ArcadeOS help
itismejs:
I am trying to setup arcadeOS. I have read other posts but they havent answered all my questions. I have all the games I like to play and they dont take up much space. (they consist of a handful of MAME and a lot of NES games)I would like someone to create a simple boot floppy(that loads arcadeOS and nesicle from the CD rom drive.(if possible tell the system to save highscores/save data to the C drive)
itismejs:
I have set everything up but the roms folder. in the config file it asks for the locations of the roms (its in a folder called roms on the C: drive) so put in in C:\roms this still doesnt work! I have tried various other ways and they still say rom cant be found?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
SirPeale:
Put them in the ROMs folder in your Mame directory.
Unless you've changed that in your mame.(ini/cfg)
What version of Mame are you using?
itismejs:
I am running th newest version. I moved the roms to C:\mame\roms

Hey Peale, I'm trying to help out itsmejs, but I'm also having problems with ArcadeOS. I'll state first of all I'm running a Windows XP Pro setup, but I can get ArcadeOS running fine by changing compatibility to Windows 95 in the config of the .exe. So I located c:\emulators\mame I have my roms in c:\emulators\mame\roms I'm testing this with Mame v0.66 windows, it runs the roms from command prompt fine. the beginning of my arcadeos.cfg looks like this:
#path for mame
mamepath=c:\emulators\mame\
#executable for mame
mameexe=mame.exe
#executable used to get game and clone list
infoexe=mame.exe
#configuration file used by mame executable
config=mame.cfg
I still cannot get any of the roms to display in ArcadeOS, any suggestions? I've been trying to double check everything, and I'm still seeing nothing.
edit: ok I turned filters off, and now I see all of the folders in my /mame/ directory along with the 2 roms I have in the /roms/ folder, any suggestions?
