Ohk so I've managed to import my whole rom collection. All consoles are working well, however; I'm still having problems with mame.
As I said the other day my mame roms are multiple files within zip folders. RCB has scanned and added them to database correctly however when I try to run a ROMs the emulator fails and says that files are missing.
All of these roms are mounted in the emulator and run fine when loaded from the emulator.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Which version on mameui32 are you using?
Are you using the mame.ini file inside the "ini" folder in mameui32 directory and pointing the exact location of it in your arguments?
You need to indicate into the arguments the path where is located the mame.ini file like this (in mameui32 the path is inside the mame directory,it's inside a folder called ini) It should be like this.
-inipath "C:\Program Files\mame32\ini" "%rom%"
You also need to configure the mame.ini file to express the exact location of the configuration files of mameui own folders:
rompath "C:\Program Files\mame32\roms" (It doesnt matter where they are as long as you specify the correct location, you need to set the same location in mameui too)
cfg_directory "C:\Program Files\mame32\cfg"
nvram_directory "C:\Program Files\mame32\nvram"
memcard_directory "C:\Program Files\mame32\memcard"
input_directory "C:\Program Files\mame32\inp"
state_directory "C:\Program Files\mame32\sta"
snapshot_directory "C:\Program Files\mame32\snap"
I asked you that because i just finished scrapping my 8,000 roms with mameui32 v0.39 and working with no problems following this parameters using MameUI32 V0.39.
Mameui and Mame command version has esentially the same code so mameui can be configured with no big problems.
Hope i can be of any help, pls tell me if that worked out your situation.
