Title: mame apple 2?
Post by: tony.silveira on May 05, 2018, 08:37:15 pm

trying to get mame to run apple 2.  from command line, mame.exe apple2 returns missing bios files but they are there in my roms folder.  mame.exe a2600 starts the atari 2600 fine.  starting mame with the command line, i can search for apple 2 and it starts fine from within the mame screen.

what am i doing wrong with the command line?

thanks, “romset apple2 not found”, yet there it is in my roms folder and the mame cog file is pointing to that folder.

Small bump, any ideas as to what’s going on?

Again, start mame from command line, within mame, select Apple 2, it launches fine.

Try mame command line with -apple2, it says roms (bios files) are missing (yet it starts when selecting Apple 2 when in mame).

I’m stumped!
