Title: Seperate folders for the roms?
Post by: redsquirrel2005 on January 30, 2005, 03:04:00 pm

Hi,

Have not been here for about 9 months and forgot my login details  ::)

Anyway just decided to sort my mame cab out today and was wondering if there is any way to store roms in seperate folders than have them all in one (ie roms/). The problem is it is slowing my PC down to a halt because it has to list so many roms. I tried moving several over to a seperate folder inside roms/ but it could not load them. Mamewah only specifies one rom folder, so I am a little unsure what to do

any help will be much appreciated thanks

I think you can modify your mame.ini file and add as many directories as you need to the roms directory entry value on the file. I don't remember what is the name of the entry, maybe someone can answer that. You can sort your files to different directories manually or you can use an utility like Romcenter to do it for you.
