Nah, no dredging involved. I actually did a reload of a WInXP system and put 98 on it. Almost made me cry. :laugh2: Anyways, now I have it for testing.

now when im trying to make my mame.dat file in the dosbox i get this error...

i typed     d:\mame> mame -listxml|xml2info> d:\mame\mame.dat

and it says...
error: unknown option -listxml
error while parsing cmdline
bad command or file name

i also tried:        d:\mame> mame.exe -listxml|xml2info> d:\mame\mame.dat
                       d:\mame> mame -listxml|xml2info > d:\mame\mame.dat
                       d:\mame> mame.exe -listxml|xml2info > d:\mame\mame.dat
same result.

The Mame version you said you were using (0.53), did not have the listxml command line switch... try using:
d:\mame> mame -listinfo > d:\mame\mame.dat

though im probably flogging a dead horse, i gave your idea a try um3k, it generated a mame.dat file great, (way to go um3k, thanks) even had loads of stuff in it, the File Setup Utility was able to create the files it needed to with no problems, i even got to successfully try the first example from the manual, the mamewah.jpg one, worked great. thing is when i try something like

C:\cpv2> cpv2.exe -r=dkong

i get an error box that says

Runtime Error '380'
Invalid Property Value


this may be what you were talking about Jcrouse, i dont know but on the off chance that my compy did something yours didnt, or vice versa, im hoping this is a simple issue.

if not, then damn my persistance.

and thanks

jcrouse:
Exact same issue. I will look into this but it will be a couple of weeks.
