--- Quote from: DemonBrew on April 22, 2005, 09:41:32 am ---Here's my setup: Win98SE, he latest command line Windows version of MAME (.95?), MAMEWAH front end. I'm only interested in playing 1980s classics. When starting a game from within MAMEWAH, it seems to take maybe a full minute before it actually loads the game (the actual ROM startup, checksums, etc - not even "playing" the game). --- End quote --- What happens if you open a DOS prompt and start the game from the command line? For those not familiar with the command line, enter the following two commands: CD \MAME MAME PACMAN (This assumes MAME is in C:\MAME. |
