Title: New to MAME - help?
Post by: Raktageno on November 05, 2014, 11:14:18 am
I am clueless when it comes to getting MAME set up on my machine. The computer running it will have no problems. I am using Hyperspin as my frontend, and NES, SNES, and Sega Genesis titles work just fine. What do you suggest for an emulator that will play nice with Hyperspin and have a straightforward setup?

I'm not sure I understand your question; MAME is the emulator. Or are you thinking about possibly using a different flavor of MAME like MESS, GroovyMame or SDLMame?

The Hyperspin package I have came with MAME32 (mameui) which is confusing.

MESS should be able to emulate NES SNES and Genesis.

I'm already using various emulators for those three. My main concern is getting arcade titles up and running.

Just get the command line version from mamedev.org latest release. Then either access hyperlist or go see brolly for the latest MAME.XML

You don't really need UI or any other version because HS will be your front end and generate your game listing if that's what your after.
