Error log for command line Mame v128

[dkubarek]

I'm getting errors when I open some roms and DOS closes before I can see what they are. I'm assuming some files are missing but I'd like to know if that is it. Is there an error log in Mame and is there a way to make it visible?

What I did was create a quick batch file and drag the zip file onto the batch file.  You will need to modify your paths accordingly:
cd c:\arcade\emulators\mame
mame c:\arcade\emulator\mame\roms\%1
pause

This will run the rom that you drop on the batch file and leave the dos window open when it is done so you can see the errors.  I am sure there is a better way but this was my way.

No, that sounds easy enough. I figured out I need to match my roms with my version of Mame. I'll do that and maybe my problems will be solved. Ha.
