My mistake on the slashes ....  ;D


Hey,  with regard to the multiple rom paths in MameWah ......... does my actual mame.ini file from the mame application need to be altered to allow multiple rom paths as well ... or does MameWah handle all the rom mapping now?

Yes that is the most important part, or MAME won't know where to find your roms.  Mamewah only needs to know for list generation purposes...which leads to another problem I hadn't though of...

The workaround for multiple rompaths in Mamewah described above will no longer work (since MAME v0.100), as the MAMEdev removed '-verifysets'.  However if you have a full romset you could create a DAT file and use list_generation_method dat_file.

Can I ask why do you actually want all those seperate rom folders?  Seems like a lot of hassle for no reason to me...
unclet:
I would like to keep the size of each Rom folder to be just enough to fill a DVD.  This way, I can make copies of everything rather easily when everything all emulators are finally configured.

As a result, I would assume i would need about 11 directories to house the roms and appropriate CHD files ....

So, in order to update the actual mame.ini file (from the Mame application) to have multiple Rom paths, then do I simply set the "rompath" parameter in the mame.ini file to have multiple path names, separated by semi-colons?

Yes, UncleT =goofball  :P  ........   can you tell I have been working on this thing too much lately .....

I tend to ask questions as I think of stuff, not necessarily at the point where I am going to actual use what I learn ......
