MAME issues which I cannot resolve, HELP !
« on: July 26, 2007, 12:01:19 pm »
Ok I am having issues with Mame, none of my roms are loading.

I have checked all my roms with romcenter, and verified that they will work with version .117.  I have installed the system files from mamewah, and have directx 9.0c.  Mame is located in d:\Mame, roms in d:\roms\mame.  I was trying to use mamewah, however when nothing loads properly I've attempted using mamewah and no luck so I tried good old command proimpt.

D:\Mame>mame d:\roms\mame\tmnt

Hmmm...make sure that the ROMS folder is pointing to your D:\roms\mame folder.  It will default to D:\mame\roms...you will need to change it.

There are 10 types of people out there...those that understand binary, and those that don't.
