I cant find my ini file once created?
« on: October 17, 2015, 06:42:28 pm »
Hi there I was just wondering why I cant' find my ini. file after creating it in system 32. I have followed the instructions through the Eiusdemmodi website site and now I don't have file to config. Any help would be much appreciated.

I found it!

I was looking in the system32 file but then I realized it was in the target folder for groovyMAME. This confused me because I was following the instruction and it told me to physically move it. Am I right in thinking it has done this automatically?

That's funny because the file is created by default in the same folder where GM is. I can't imagine under which conditions it would end up inside system32 so that Recap's guide contains that step.
Important note: posts reporting GM issues without a log will be IGNORED.
Steps to create a log:
 - From command line, run: groovymame.exe -v romname >romname.txt
 - Attach resulting romname.txt file to your post, instead of pasting it.
