Noob help with frontend

[DaemonCollector]

Yup, that sounds like it may be an issue with your front end config, ive never even heard of the one your using so I can't be much help there. Glad I was able to get it booting how you wanted.

Yep excellent, thanks again, and to everyone else for your help on this post

I picked up something from your previous post:

You said the front-end added a path to C:\QM to your autoexec.bat, but the frontend is actually in C:\mame063b.

I am not familiar with QM but that could cause your problems with the FE right there.

I think what you want to do is change your shell selection back to explorer, delete QM, re-install it (this time to C:\QM).

Well if your gonna switch my first rec would be Mamewah, its a ---smurfette--- to configure but once you do you'll never go back.

I did manage to get QM working, and even to start up, but as you rightly say its a Dos program, and even though I could manually run it from windows, when booting up directly into it, there was still problems.  I might give mamewah another try, as I managed to find a dos program that detects what hardware is running on older systems last night.  I ran the program and then found the correspoding drivers for my soundcard (soundblaster live) and updated the drivers for the grafixcard, which I  believe is a voodoo 3.  The resolution is much better now, thankfully and might have been the cause of mamewah and other emulators not working correctly.  I couldt seem to find Mala, dont suppose you have a direct link Tiger-Heli? 

Another thing I thought of, is that I know there is a way to get rid of the "press OK" screen/s in mame, but is there a way of using a certain key on the joypad to input coins and select 1UP?

Just downloaded Mala, looks promising, im having a look at the options now.  It still doesnt seem to recognise my mame exe file (dmamepp), problem is the errors that come up are in german, but ill keep  fiddling around with it see if I can get it working.

Now the message is in english, when I try to run Mala, says it needs mame 0.84 win32 command line version to run.  Ill download that and see if I have any more luck with that.
