That's all well and good but I am not interested in using MAME for this particular project I am working on. Like.Īn alternative way to run MAME is to give it a command: It then says if this is my first time running MESS to look into the documentation in the config.txt file in the docs folder however I have read that txt file and all it keeps telling me is MAME instructions. Okay guys since you are all experts here can any of you tell me why in any of the versions of MESS from any of the sites listed above when I launch the PDP-11 emulator all I keep getting is "Please check the rom path specified in the mess.ini file"? There is no mess.ini file. Speaking of folders, you can set up each emulator in its own folder.Īnd finally, you can have a batch file that runs a rom by typing in a name manually.Īnd if you have 5,000 roms and want to run them all at onces (gasp!) you can use a shortcut pointing to a GUI of your choice. And you can use multiple versions of MAME or any other emulator if needed. You have access to each and every setting. This enables options tailored to a specific game. Start in: "C:\Program Files\1_classic_system_emulation\mame\mame0147b" Target: "C:\Program Files\1_classic_system_emulation\mame\mame0147b\mame.exe" tailg If you look at one of those shortcuts you'll see something like. exe! Fantastic! The cheapest GUI possible, and it's standardized, and totally customizable, and works with multiple versions of any emulator. A shortcut that passes command-line parameters to the. I know someone that just makes shortcuts on the desktop to each individual game in MAME. Too bad if you have to learn a little bit about how computers operate. MAME, MESS, Mednafen, Dosbox.ĭamn fucking straight! Then any GUI can be placed on top. And someone who wants to port MESS to a new platform doesn't have to worry about GUI toolkits. Someone who wants to add to the GUI doesn't have to compile the whole MESS. This way we can use any GUI we want, or none at all.
