No, I just wanted to make sure that the m2emulator folder and the mame folder are subfolders that are side by side, so to speak.  For example, I have a folder called "emulators".  In that folder is my m2emulator folder *and* my mame folder.  It doesn't have to be this way, but that's the way it needs to be unless a change is made to the batch file.

Providing you have your folders set up as outlined as above:

Click START, then click RUN
Type CMD, then click OK


In the black window, type the following:


--- Code: ---C: <ENTER>
CD \emulators\m2emulator <ENTER>
closemul emulator.exe daytona
--- End code ---

What error if any do you get?

--- End quote ---

Not sure if you're asking how to create a screenshot or how to attach one into this forum.

1)  Bring up the Mala option screen that you want.
2)  Press PrintScreen
3)  Click Programs>Accessories>Paint
4)  Click Edit>Paste
5)  If you know how, crop out all of the screen shot accept for the Mala options window
6)  Save the file.
7)  When posting a reply, choose Additional Options....
8 )  Browse for the attachment that you saved in the Paint program.

Hi Sgt,

Many thanks for the instructions....very easy to follow!!

I have changed the folder around to how you have  it.....m2emulator inside emulators folder.

Here are the screen shots

Cheers,

1) You need to open m2's emulator.ini file into notepad and make sure the Dir1 is pointing to your rom folder which I assume should be:


--- Code: ---Dir1=\otheremulator\m2
--- End code ---

2) You don't have the closemul program in your m2emulator folder.  This is a wrapper that allows for the ESC key to close the m2emulator.  You can download it at the link below.  Make sure you unzip into the m2emulator folder.

3) Retry the CMD steps again, but make sure you type it exactly.  Last time you had a typo.  Make sure it is NOT emutator :laugh2::

--- Code: ---C: <ENTER>
CD \emulators\m2emulator <ENTER>
closemul emulator.exe daytona
--- End code ---

4) Try the above step twice as I know that the closemul program creates the closemul.ini file the first time it is run. 

5) After the second try, post the error messages that you get.


EDIT ADDITION:

I didn't see a screenshot of your Mame command line.  Make sure it is:


--- Code: ---%rom% %path%
--- End code ---

Notice the space between %rom% and %path%

sega_mad:
Hi again,

Mame command line is correct (has space)

But the download for the esc wrapper does not work. When I try to extract the file it says "cannot open file.it does not  appear to be a valid archive"

Cheers

SGT:
I can download and open it okay.  Sometimes when corruption occurs on downloads its necessary to do the following:
This time right-click the download link and choose "Save Target As".

Keep trying until the archive is valid.
