| MAME Individual Game CFG Files (documentation?) |
| (1/1) |
| Necro:
Anyone know of any documentation for the individual game cfg files in MAME? I basically only want to have the bezel show in certain games (i.e. asteroids). Wondering if it's possible and all... TIA. |

..no but its easy. copy mame.ini rename the copy to 'romname'.ini eg asteroid.ini make you changes to the ini file eg ### Mame CORE misc options ### artwork 1 use_backdrops 1 use_overlays 1 use_bezels 1 mame looks to see if there is a *.ini file for each game before it launches. If found it will override what is set in mame.ini just for that game. I think you also have the option put the individual game ini files in a ini folder if you want to keep your directory tidy Alternativley it does not matter if you have mame.ini set to have the bezels on for all games if you don't have a bezel in the artwork directory nothing will happen |

Ok, because when I looked in the .cfg file for the game and it seems to be XML. I take it I leave that file in my main MAME directory? (and thanks). |

You may need to uncomment the line at the top of your mame.ini file that points to the path of your ini folder. Like so: ### mame.ini ### ### Frontend Related ### clones 1 ### Windows path and directory options ### rompath roms samplepath samples inipath ini cfg_directory cfg nvram_directory nvram memcard_directory memcard input_directory inp hiscore_directory hi state_directory sta artwork_directory artwork snapshot_directory snap diff_directory diff ctrlr_directory ctrlr cheat_file cheat.dat history_file history.dat mameinfo_file mameinfo.dat It will then look in the .\mame\ini folder for game specifc setting. You do not need the entire contents of the mame.ini file in the game specific ini files. You only need the line that are not the same as the settings in the mame.ini file. Good Luck, John |
