no wait .. it works now! I just had to do a refresh in mala... one of the most basic things.

Thanks for helping me out with this!!

I feel better now.

Hey SGT:
I can't get it to work with an older version of MAME.
Here is what my mame.cmd looks like:

--- Quote ---if "%2" == "D:\MAME\roms104\Using" goto mame104


mamep.exe %1
exit

:mame104
cd D:\MAME\Emulator\MAMEplus_Intel_0.104
mame.exe
exit
--- End quote ---
The problem is that the rom name is not being passed to the alternate version of MAME described above.  It simply starts MAME as mame.exe and I get the quick text the command line version of MAME displays when you start it without a rom namea.

Any ideas where I can start looking?

Thanks.

SGT:
Two things to change and two things to check on:

Change

--- Code: ---mame.exe
--- End code ---
to:

--- Code: ---mame.exe %1
--- End code ---

Change

--- Code: ---cd D:\MAME\Emulator\MAMEplus_Intel_0.104
--- End code ---
to:

--- Code: ---cd \MAME\Emulator\MAMEplus_Intel_0.104
--- End code ---

Also the following is case sensitive, so make sure it matches the folder names exactly:

--- Code: ---D:\MAME\roms104\Using
--- End code ---

To verify that Mala is passing the exact same thing as the line above:
Put the following as the first line in the mame.cmd:

--- Code: ---echo %2 > test.txt
--- End code ---

After you attempt to run the game, check the contents of test.txt file which will be in the same folder as mame.cmd.  There will be one line in test.txt that should match EXACTLY (case included) the line below:

--- Code: ---D:\MAME\roms104\Using
--- End code ---

Also make sure that there is not a rom with the exact same name in your regular rom folder.  I am assuming you changed the mala settings as outlined earlier in this thread.

TheManuel:
Thank you SGT.

The %1 after mame.exe did it.
I will knock my head a few more times against the wall for not trying that after everything I did try.
I had assume %1 was rompath #1 and %2 rompath #2 when %1 is actually the rom name and %2 is the path.

I should point out that including the drive letter after cd does not affect the process.

Regards.
