Title: MAME ignoring my INIs?
Post by: FrizzleFried on December 16, 2006, 10:55:39 am
MAME is ignoring my INIs.   Hell,  when I go in to the MAME RES TOOL,  then change a resolution for a game...it doesn't actually change it?!

For example...Mr. Do is rolling on me.  So I go in to the MAME RES TOOL to change the resolution to one that doesn't roll and no matter what I select (even 640x480),  the resolution doesn't change,  it still keeps the same res as before,  and it still rolls.

Anyone know if there is some sort of setting in the MAME.INI I messed up or something?   The other answer is to start from scratch,  delete all the INI files,  delete the res tool,  MAME,  and re-install...which I'd like to avoid.

Thanks!

Well, that is tought to answer without seeing the file. :) Taking a wild guess, did you set the ini path properly in the file?

Good Luck,
John

Try removing the .; from the ini path line near the top.
