Most Roms Not Working
loadman:
Is the path to your roms folder right in mame.ini?

Also check that you're running the correct versions. atetris only contains those two files, but it was recently changed. Either mame isn't finding the roms or they are incorrect.

I think so as i have not changed it from standard, will check when i get home.
Ok, now this is wierd too...
trying it out on works computer, i have just a few roms (not the new ones i have at home).....
Some roms work in Mala that i cannot get to run on the command prompt.
Getting confused now
To get mame to work in the command prompt, is this all i need to do..
Extract mame to a folder (c:\mame)
Put roms in the roms folder
enter command prompt

withe the settings shown below mame is looking for the roms in a subdirectory calles 'roms' withing the folder you have mame eg
mame is in (c:\mame)
roms are in (c:\mame\roms)
### Windows path and directory options ###
rompath roms

That makes no sense whatsoever. Are you pointing MaLa to the same version of mame and/or same roms you are accessing from the command prompt?

well got round one problem...maybe you can tell me why this doesn't work:
C:\>emulators\mame\mame 88games
But this does work:
C:\>cd emulators\mame
C:\emulators\mame>mame 88games
New to all this!
So i will try again at home with the new roms and see how i get on in the command prompt.
Thanks again
