OK, I'm having a bit of trouble with this... Here is my set up:
mame is located at C:\Arcade\Mame\mame.exe
misfit mame is located at C:\Arcade\MisfitMAME\mis.exe
I added the info to the mame.xml file which is located at C:Arcade\Mame\mame.xml and the rom appears in the main gamelist now after refreshing.
Using Notepad, I created a file called mame.cmd in the mame directory that says:
if "%2" == "C:\ArcadeMisfitMAME\roms" goto misfitmame
mame.exe %1
exit
:misfitmame
cd C:\Arcade\MisfitMAME
mis.exe %1 -skip_gameinfo
exit
In MALA, under Mame config>basic>command line, I added the path parameter "%rom% %path%"
I also specified an additional rom path - I selected rom path 2, and entered C:\Arcade\MisfitMAME\roms (where the rom is that I want added to the list).
Finally, I changed the mame executable to c:\Arcade\Mame\mame.cmd
Any ideas where I went wrong? When I click on mis.exe in windows explorer, the emulator launches and I can load up d2k but not from MaLa...
