How do I input History of the games into MAME?
« on: December 11, 2006, 08:46:51 am »
Do I have to input each games history manually? or is there a file a can download?

If I have to input it manually, how do I do it?

Go to here http://www.mame.net/downmisc.html

After Download, go to your mame options and make sure the directory is there.

Funny, I thought most latest revisions of MAME possessed a history folder, I would maybe update your MAME version and see if that helps.

One thing to check is to go to MAME's "options>directories>history", if "history" doesn't exist there, then your current version of MAME doesn't support it.

funny thing is, on the tab control on the right, there is a History Tab, but no folder for the history.  :angry:

Go here:

http://www.arcade-history.com/

Download and unzip it into your Mame folder. There should be no folder just history.dat
