????....   Where did you see you can buy Atomic?  It is completly free.

When you will have choose your mame version and be sure that your ROMS match with the mame version.  (to check taht use tools like ClrMame or RomCenter) .

I can guide you step by step to make run Atomic on your PII 450Mhz.

Hey.. Try that and if I is too slow/fast  move back/forward a few versions
Just one setting to change in MaLa (assuming you keep your roms and XML files in the same place)

You do know you can download older versions above 69 right? Read the text at the mame website at the top of the 'older mame versions' website

I agree


--- Quote ---Then if someone can work w/ me to get MaLa to work w/ the command line version of MAME that is optimized for my system that would be great.

If you PM me a E-mail address I will send you a XML file  if you want?

See attached pic for set-up..
Notes:
1) Try to run a game via the command line/promt before launching from any FE. That way the mame dos error window will stay up if you have rom problems with your version of mame (the rom-sets need to match as youki said) Sometimes if you have a romset close to the version you have most games will work anyway

2) Let mala create a mame.ini if you don't already have one
3) don't create another mame.xml via mala as it won't work  ;)
4) Do refresh game list afterwards...it takes a min if you have many roms

Either way you should try other FE's too if you have time...
