Welcome.
This board is ENTIRELY unlike any other board you were at in the past.

Could someone out there send me a link to where you got your version of MAM32? I'd like to try to download iot from a different site. Maybe there was something wrong with the server ... or maybe I did something wrong somehow ... I don't know ...

If you click the icon, and then nothing happens, you might have a bad download (guessing)...try downloading again from the site cdbrown suggested.
We're not trying to be difficult here...but "nothing happens" doesn't give us a lot to go on...try downloading again, then installing, and let us know what happens.
We'll get ya fixed up... :cheers:

True...true... Sorry to sound cliche, but...
were all here cause were not all there :dizzy:
When you download the zipped file, and you open it, is there then a few folders and a couple of other bits and pieces?
Are you using a Mac?
If you do have stuff in the unzipped folder and you are not using a mac, look for the mame32.exe
It does not go through an install like MS Word where you go to an install screen and you see files copying and stuff, it is more like you just start a program and it goes and that is it.
Arcane Arcade:
Success!!! .... well, sort of. I got the MAME program to work, but now I'm having problems with the only ROM I have at this point. I downloaded WWF WrestleFest from romnation.net.
God, I suck at this.
Could someone reccomend some good ROM sites, while I work out my lastest setback?
Also, I know I am VERY far off from this, but will other emulators work in a custom MAME cabinet?
Lilwolf:
Asking for rom download locations is against the rules... I believe the site you have now is probably fine (I never used them). Better chance that you are missing more files.
In mame32 there is a way to audit your roms (right click on the game?? under properties??) this will tell you if your missing more files. I bet your missing the parent rom. Parent roms are usually the latest version of a game. Then there are child roms with only the changes from the parent roms (usually much smaller because one version of a game to another they only make small changes)
btw, you might want to spend some time at easyemu (www.mameworld.net/easyemu I believe). GREAT site to answer all questions (other then rom locations)
Good luck...
