sorry for the typo.  It is C:\mame\mame.exe

So Mala will not start mame.exe or you cannot get Mala.exe to start?  What is the exact error message?

If you are saying that the Mala.exe is in the c:\mame folder, that would not be ideal.

OK when words fail bring on a screenshot  ;) Please post a screenshot of config-mameconfig-basics

Also as the MaLa website says "MaLa supports the Windows command line version of MAME with XML ROM info (> 0.84), "  But your can make it work for earlier versions. I use mame .79.  To do so you need to obtain a XML file form mame 0.84 or above. If this is too hard for you PM me your e-mail adress and I will send you one

OK, so here's what's happening.  I have my mame v.058 exe.  in C:\mame/mame32.  I ran Mala on my XP machine running mame v106 and it worked perfectly.  Maybe I'm running too old of a mame version (.058) but once again it works well with my slowwwwwwww pc at the moment.  Anyway, when I try to direct the mame exe. in Mala to my C:\mame/mame32 folder I get the message below (see pic). 

Loadman you stated I can get a XML file form from you.  That would be great cause I have no idea how to go about doing that  :dizzy:  Also, can you give me some direction on how I install the new XML file?  Cheers!

loadman:
Don't use mame32 with any FE..

Anyway I take it you mean: C:\mame\mame32

Use Command line mame

You didn't send me a e-mail to send a XML file to?

The XML file sits in your mame folder
