Mame weirdness
jcrouse:
did you manually create the mame.ini file (the one for mame in the mame folder) and uncomment the line that specifies the folder for ini files?

yea, i ran mame -cc and all that.. but I noticed that no matter what the setting for ini in mame.ini in the root, it would show up as <NULL> in a -showconfig, UNTIL I moved the file into the mame\ini directory, then it appeared. Now maybe this is a bug in 0.69 -- I don't know, but that's how I got it to work and I verified that running Mame was able to access the settings of the file.
This is a confusing issue. Mame looks for the mame.ini file in multiple locations so you can crap things up with more than one copy of the config file in different locations so you don't know which settings are overriding others. This is why I moved the file. I wish DOS supported symbolic linking - it would be so easy if it did.
jcrouse:
Have you posted for any help on the official Mame forums? Someone over there may be able to help if it is version related.

Been there. Done that. Believe it or not, people here were more helpful.

Unfortunately the mame boards have become a virtual cesspool. Also they would be hesitant to offer support on such an old version of mame.
