I'm still using 1.61 and you said the other option required the new beta. I was trying to do something similar with the options available in 1.61

It seems like the closest thing to it is to pretend you're running a wrapper, but point it to mame as the wrapper (wrapper executable) then put [name] -volume -12 as the command line for the wrapper.

It's close to waht I want but not quite: the game does run for a few minutes, but then it sits in mameah for several minutes before it runs the next random game.

Maybe I'll haveto upgrade to the 1.62 beta. I was trying to hold off till it was released in case the ini files changes some more, since I run 5 different emulators, with alternate apps (cp viewers) and stuff, so redoing the command line section for the new ini format is a bit of a pain.

I see what you mean...that would probably work.

Yes, this is how it works...still the same in the beta's...

Yeah sorry.  I doubt the ini structure will change any more, but I've said that before!  You may as well wait really, but I will probably release a new beta fairly soon (next weekish), and probably one more after that (need to try to get unsupported joystick controllers to work).

Keep up the good work. I'm really getting into "nitpicking" issues at this point. Heck, if I have to I'll write my own wrapper. I've been thinking about it anyway because I would like any key to exit the screensaver, not just ESC, so I'd need to write an AHK wrapper than sends ESC to MAME on any key.
