Mame32
December 7, 2006
 

Not much to talk about here. I always forget how annoying the different versions of Mame are when you try to get Roms working, etc. Why do they keep changing the names of the rom files? WHY?

I would be using the non windows version of Mame, since it takes more command line options, but Mame32 can at least take the name of the rom you want to play. Plus, I couldn't find the right version to run with the roms I have, so Mame32 it was...

And yes, I did try out the ROM manager software, spent too much of my life getting it to work, only to find out it didn't actually fix the rom files, just messed them up differently.

Bah.

I am using GameLauncher for the menuing system. I tried several different Mame launchers... and they are all tremendously annoying, but I at least got GameLauncher to work.

Granted you are pretty limited if you have a vertically oriented monitor. I'm happy anything works at all really.
