I built my Cab about 7 or 8 years ago and installed MAME, MAMEwah, VisualPinball, FuturePinball. Atari2600, SNES, and Sega.
I've really enjoyed my Cab and it worked great up until about 2 years ago, due to some PC issues and I just haven't had the time to address it.
I've been out of the loop for over 2 years and forgot everything.
I've built a new PC to re-install everything.
I can still access the old PC and files, but I don't want to try to repair that PC.
My new PC is running Win7 64-bit.
I want to install MALA as the front-end, but I'm having trouble getting started with the MAME install.
Does my Command-line MAME need to be the same version that was originally installed with my ROMs or can I use the latest version? ( a friend tried to install a later MAME version with my ROM set on his Cab and found that some games didn't work (Galaga!!).
Can someone direct me where to start looking? I googled MAME wiki and MAME-world and can't find anything! (did things change??)
Is there a MAME Command-line Install document?
Sorry if these are noob questions, I don't know where to re-start(?)
Thanks guys! Looking forward to getting this going again (better than original!)
