MALA

<-------- (atomicFE rocks !)
by far the simplest FE I have worked with,
Plug and play mods are great.
works with Mame 32
The menu will not work with game pads at first.
I had to use joy to key for my console PC
arcades are set up with key wiz so the CP is a keyboard. no problems there.
hope someday Atomic will work with gamepads to move around the menu
but joy to key is a fine fix.
It might even work with Game pads now. My version is a older one.
 Yusi (check spelling) updates the Frontend all the time and answers all my questions fast.
2panther:
I'll have to tinker with MameWah when I get some time, it's too fun playing some of these older game hehe,

Reading on this site I've come up with some questions, I'm running mame32, how does that differ from MAME? Does it matter which one I run?
2panther:
hmm ok things seemed to have started out good but now I'm not so sure.

I was able to get my hands on about 12.5 gigs of ROMs, thing is though it looks like there is 19 parts to this set?

Example:
I have the following files...
Mame1.03 Complete Sets.part01
Mame1.03 Complete Sets.part02
Mame1.03 Complete Sets.part03
Mame1.03 Complete Sets.part04
Mame1.03 Complete Sets.part05
Mame1.03 Complete Sets.part06
Mame1.03 Complete Sets.part07
Mame1.03 Complete Sets.part08
Mame1.03 Complete Sets.part09
Mame1.03 Complete Sets.part10
Mame1.03 Complete Sets.part11
Mame1.03 Complete Sets.part12
Mame1.03 Complete Sets.part13
Mame1.03 Complete Sets.part14
Mame1.03 Complete Sets.part15
Mame1.03 Complete Sets.part16
Mame1.03 Complete Sets.part17
Mame1.03 Complete Sets.part18
Mame1.03 Complete Sets.part19

it looks like parts 01-18 are the exact same size 716,800KB and then part 19 is 635,605KB

browsing through the titles within the various parts look similiar but when I fire up MAME32 I only have a handful that work?

Am I missing something?

ps: that and I could have sworn I saw someone's cab playing NHL Open Ice 2-on2, I can't find that ROM anywhere!!
Must...have....it.....willing to pay!
bfauska:
I am not sure, because I haven't had to deal with those exact files (yet, although I am planning on it) but I think that they are compressed again after the zip, and broken into cd sized chunks.  I believe you are in need of some sort of rar process using winrar for example.  I wish I knew more, hopefully somebody else will chime in and expand.

Good luck,
Brian
