I can't play half of the games right now. --- End quote --- It would be a shame if beginners were scared away from this hobby because of jerkwad comments like this one. |

If this scares them away they never stood a chance to begin with. |

You can do this a number of different ways, in MALA you can create a gamelist minus clones in the gamelist editor I do believe (I am new with MALA so please forgive me). --- End quote --- Good luck playing pac-man. ;) --- End quote --- Old-timers may be smart@$$es, but at least they have the right answers ... |

Fritzy -- welcome. Please do read the links that McCoy provided, also: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=19049.0 Much of what you want to know (including the answer to McCoy's 'O' 'K' question) is addressed in the MAME FAQ: http://www.mame.net/mamefaq.html and in the MAME wiki (as provided by McCoy): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAME#ROM_images There is a lot of information already on tap and, as you can see, you won't always get the right answer from folks on the boards ...
