Title: need help finding mame.ini
Post by: bossyman15 on August 02, 2007, 03:40:30 am

i'm using mamewah v1.62b13 and mame 0.117 Windows command line version from mame.net

but i can't find mame.ini for mame itself (not the one in mamewah but the one in mame folder.)

i even tried creating new mame.ini by typing -cc in command. but nothing happens.

the reason i wanted to find mame.ini is because i wanted to enable mouse support.

i googled up and down the interweb but didn't find any good answer to this problem.

can anyone help me please? thanks!

What error did you get?  If you were in the main folder, and typed "main -cc" (without the quotes), it should have created the mame.ini file.

i got no error of any kind

tell me if i did this right

open run and type CMD to open command window

drag mame.exe into command window

type -cc and press enter

is that way to do this?


i also tried -cc,  mame -cc. -createconfig and so on but nothing

and IF i did create mame.ini where would it be created?

please tell me by step by step on how to do this.

thanks!

Sounds like you are not in the correct directory. For example, if your Mame.exe is located in C:\Mame, do the following:

Get to the command prompt, the way you are doing it will work.
Once there, type C: (just to make sure you are on the correct drive letter first)
cd\Mame (to put you in the Mame directory - change to suit your config)
Mame -cc

Done!

Or instead of typing mame -cc try typing mame -createconfig.

Go to http://www.gabrieleponti.com/software/ and download Sendtotoys. When installing the program uncheck everything except command prompt. When you're done just right click on mame.exe and highlight and click on command prompt. Now type configure --cc
