Frontend: What am I doing wrong? AtomicFE and Mala
xteeejx:
So I've installed AtomicFE (with acades plug n play) and Mala in my cab and I'm able to see the games list in both but I can't get either to launch a game. Atomic times out and Mala says my games are missing components. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
I'm running a new install of XPpro. I'm pretty new at this but I've done a lot of searching and reading and still can't get this to work.
Launching games with mamepgui works fine btw.
Any Ideas?
Thanks!

Atomic by default points to a "fake" version of Mame. Did you point to the Mame executable, and also specify the roms folder?
Also, what version of Mame are you running?
xteeejx:
Yeah, I downloaded the Arcades Angelscry plug'n'play module and pointed the cfg files to my roms folder and mamep.exe. After I did that, the roms list shows up but the games wil not run. According to the Atomicfe site the version in the module is mame plus .105. I think my roms set is .103.
I also tried pointing atomic at mamepgui.exe assuming it wouldn't work, it didn't ;-).
Thanks!

Hmmm.... Well AtomicFE is working now. I guess it just didn't like my wack naming scheme. I just removed all the spaces in the folder names amd voila.
Mala's still broken, I'm over it.
Anybody know if there's a way to make Atomic search subfolders or include multiple folders for roms, snaps etc?
Thanks!

Hi,
Effectivly, Atomic can have some problem when there is space in folder (depending on certain configuration option).
Atomic can not yet browse multiple folder on one config file. (these features are planed) for now you have to use the multiconf to make one config by folder and browse through config.
Why do you have multiple folder? You have a folder by game category?
the module plug'n play Mame_youki1 , sort games by category , the module expect that all roms are in the same folder, but you can very easly make point each category on a different folder. (same thing for snaps).
Descripbe me a little more what you would like to have , i could explain you better how to do that.
