MAME UI forgets path settings
« on: September 07, 2008, 11:09:54 am »
Has anyone else experienced MAME32 or MAMEUI forgetting the path settings? The INI and CFG files are all marked for read/write modify etc (not restricted to read only) but when I exit the program and come back in later, the path settings for everything - ROMS and screen shots, fyers and marquees, samples - all revert back to the prior defaults.

Has anyone else seen this?

I've changed them and they weren't even read. Just paste the directory in there, right? I dunno.

Ive had this problem before. It only occures for me when I exit MAME32/UI by clicking the "x" button. It was solved for me by going into files/exit in the menu when ever I changed options.

No Prob. Would be nice if it was in the FAQ, or if the makers of MAMEUI changed the code to accept the "x" as anything but a panic exit.
