I Suck Because I'm New
Arcane Arcade:
Ok, now I'm having a problem that's going to make me look like a complete idiot. Could we possibly skip all the newbie taunting that runs so rampant and almost every other message board on the 'net?
I downloaded MAME32 a couple times now and I can't get the damn thing to load on my computer. I've unzipped it and even tried redownloading. I've used other emulators before and have never had this much trouble. Can someone out there help?
Effayy:
Don't worry, we'd be happy to help. Everyone was a Newbie at one point, y'know. :)
In order to help, though, we,d need a little more info. When you say it won't run, at what point does it cause you an issue? Will MAME32 not load up at all, or is it when you try to load a game?

Timoe:
noob!
seriously tho, more info. Maybe post your text mame.ini
Let us know your rom directory (e.g. C:/mame/roms)
your mame.exe directory (e.g. C:/ArcaneJunk/emulators/mame/mame.exe)
and stuff like that.
also what operating system are you using, what version of mame, what version of roms, etc?
MYX:
Noob! ;)
Timoe, If he is using MAME32 is the INI necessary? This sounds like more of a comand line MAMEWah type thing.
you should be able to unzip the download. Keep all the folders inside the MAME32 folder
If you want to make a shortcut for the exe this is fine.
Place all your leagally obtained ROMs into the ROM folder.
You should be good to go. MAME32 should handle the rest.
PS... If you decide to use 49 way joys or LEDWiz use PowerMAME32.
