Make sure to put your legally obtained ROM in the ROMS folder, where you installed\unzipped Mame.

Also, buy this:

Arcade Bible

Read it!

Then read it again!

Some of the info is starting to get dated, but most of it will be relevant for all time...

Oh, did I call you a n00b?

 ;D

I just got a little over excited aboutmy new found hobby. But in my defense, I did read the FAQ and the EasyEmu site. When I originally installed MAME32 nothing happened. Literally. I installed it, and there were no folders, no files, no MAME, no nothing. But I have sinced worked that problem out, thanks to the help of all of you. (I just want to say thank you to those of you who were nice enough to help me out)

Also .... I didn't think I was insulting anyone. I'm not sure how anything I said could be taken as an insult, but if someone does feel that I've insulted them, then I'm sorry for that too. And as far as my mentioning other boards (and the topic of this thread), that was just a joke. I was making fun of all the people who give the newbies ---Cleveland steamer--- just because they're new.

So now I'm off to study up. I'll try not to bother anyone with questions like this unless I absolutely have to.

But one more thing before I go. I didn't know that you couldn't ask for ROMS here. That was my fault. I should have read the rules. Again, I just got a little over excited. But is it ok to ask about my virus conerns about downloading ROMs?

Good luck and happy Arcading... is that a word? Do everyone a favor and keep a log of your progress and post it in the project announcements page. I love reading those things.

Jeesh! How could I forget mentioning that I read that book cover to cover before posting here the first time! My apologies Saint for leaving your masterpiece out. ;)

I don't think that shardian was saying that you insulted anyone here, he was stating some good rulz for noobs.

Enjoy the excitment, this is an awesome hobby, labor of love, addiction whatever. It is why we are here too. One day you will read a post from some poor noob and you too will say... "listen here lad, Yer a Newb! so READ!"

As to the ROMS, you hit a hot button. As you may or may not know, It is not legal to posess ROMs you do not own. Thus, not a good topic to discuss on this board. If the topic comes up and is discussed, the great and powerful Saint will part the clouds and come in wooshing in on wings of little birds and strike lightning into the evil thread and cast it into the place that threads dare not speak about. POST HELL!

* MYX  goes off and shivers at the thought.
