Need some help with "Game Launcher" please!
Gus:
It's there now, with the same result as earlier...
If i put the roms in the same folder as mame.exe it runs like a charm. It's one solution to the problem but I want to keep all my roms in different folders.
Why should this value be set to "no"?
# Use rom_directory when launcher game: "yes" or "no"
# i.e. yes: "emulator.exe c:\full\path\rom"
# no: "emulator.exe rom"
use_rom_directory = no
This problem is driving me nuts!
EDIT
I changed it to "yes" and most of the games work now!
Thanks alot!
Do you have nes.cfg and snes.cfg? If you do, would you mind posting them and tell me which emulator you use?
Thanks again!

Since you do not want to use a ROM file, you need to setup mame.cfg in Game Launcher's directory as such:
options_before_rom = no
use_rom_file = no
rom_directory = D:\Arcade\Roms\RomsMame
rom_extension = zip
use_extension = no
use_rom_directory = no
You must have rom_directory set to something otherwise GL has no idea what games to list in the menu.
You're not done yet, and this is the part that I think you have been missing. In addition to configuring mame.cfg, you need to use MAME's mame.ini file. This file does not exist by default. You need to create it with "mame.exe -createconfig". Once the config file is created, edit it and make sure you have this line:
rompath D:\Arcade\Roms\RomsMame
BTW, make sure you can run MAME by hand before trying to get it to work with GL. At the moment I think you're debugging 2 problems at the same time.
