CLrmamepro question(kinda now got it working)

[KDOG]

Ok i am have trouble clrmamepro. I did  a search, look on easyemu guide but still have problems. I can't seem to get it work with mame .36
buy using the exe file. It says bad exe output. I can get it to with version.97 though.

its due to how Mame creates the game list.
the early versions used a different command to get the list.

In the profiler change the executable type setting from Mame to old Mame.
that should do it.

Thanks I will try that when i get back from vacation.

Well got around to trying it but still didn't work. I have tried other version of mame. .56 and .37 work





Now certain games that work before don't know mainly galaga and donkey kong. Do in nedd to find old version of the roms then use clrmame or what?

Im having the same problem. Once again software with lousy documentation...

I tried creating a DAT from DMAME .78 EXE and I got error messages (tried setting "OLD_MAME" and also "MAME").

So then I searched these boards and found a command line solution:

In XP you go to START -> RUN, and type in CMD
Then in the command line prompt, go to the directory with MAME, and type:

 mame.exe -listinfo > mame.dat

That creates the DAT file.
