Help!! (Stupid Rom Path Problem)
« on: March 03, 2003, 08:44:05 am »
Hi Everyone!  I can't believe I'm asking this...

I haven't had my cabinet open in over a year now as everything was working perfectly.  I found a old 15gb drive that I wanted to use in my cabinet that I wanted to use.  I moved all my roms to this drive, but now ArcadeOS won't find anything!  This should be a easy fix, but I don't know what I've done wrong!!

I've changed my ADVMAME.RC file to read:

dir_rom D:\ROMS

but nothing is being found!

Can someone help me out!

Thanks,
 ~ Chazz

Never used AdvanceMame, but have you tried
dir_rom D:\ROMS\
instead?   ::)

Always always always always always always.... finish your paths off with a backslash.  

This applies to every fe.  Detecting that missing "\" and inserting it if necessary requires extra code by the author and it's easy for them to overlook.  

Better safe than sorry.  :-)

Well, when you have a FE that requires you to type:)  VB Path will not return the slash, you have to add it:)
