Now Galaga won't load!!! PLEASE HELP!! [NEW error message posted!]
SGT:
That INI folder isn't necessary, Mame will check that folder for an ini file for each rom. If it exists, it will use it instead of mame.ini. I was asking just in case those errors were coming from there instead of mame.ini.
--- Code: ---but I don't know why or how it could be an older version...
--- End code ---
After you compiled Mame did you put mame.exe into an existing mame folder or did you put it into a brand new folder?

I just copied the files over like it said to on the Mr. Do! Arcade page. Also, will I lose all of my current high scores with a recompile? I just broke 75,000 in Galaga which is like a miralce for me since I stink. ;D

What I'm asking is, was there an older or existing version of Mame in the folder where you copied the files to? That's okay if you did, but it would explain why there was an older version of mame.ini there.

No you won't lose your high scores. If you use "save states", those many times don't work between versions.

Oh, I get it - no. The only version of MAME ever installed on this computer was .118 and then .118u1.

Whew! I don't use 'save states' at all - I'm trying to keep everything as simple as possible.

I just spent the last 2 hours compiling a new version of MAME - what a pain! It's compiling right now - I think it worked... I used the 0119u1, 0119u2, 0119u3 and hi_0119u2 files for patching. I still need to install MaLa and MAME and everything - I basically wiped the HDD of all arcade stuff and started over. Oh, this is for my cocktail cab... not my "current" one with the awesome Galaga score. I wanted to practice on this (which hasn't seen a MAME update in over a year). I'm having company over this weekend and it will be nice to have 2 fully playable cabinets.
