Where'd Mameworld.net go? (I got the MAMEWAH system files..THANKS!)

<< < (6/6)

saint:
Make sure it doesn't get a ".txt" appended to it, and you also don't want the "hosts.sam" file -- that's just a sample. Full file name is "hosts" --- no extension. 

/etc/hosts on linux boxes, but if you're running a linux box you likely already know that :)

Mmmm no idea on a Mac.

Possibly C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc on some Windows boxes.

Zakk:
I think windows explorer by default hides the ETC directory, you'll have to change your permissions to view it. (?)

Here's where I get the HOSTS file with lots of nasty sites already blocked.  Install that, then tag the mameworld dns onto the end of the file, as saint said, with a txt editor (double click the HOSTS file, and when windows asks you how to open, just use notepad).

Some good reading there too, gives you a better idea what the file is supposed to do.

divemaster127:

Zakk:
estimates are 2 days to 2 weeks
