This is really wierd, if it can't write to the db-file it should complain about that. But it saves your options, but not the emulator info. When you enter setup again, I presume the saved emulators are gone?

Hi, I'm new to computer gaming to begin with, so I'm sorry if these are pretty basic questions.
I installed myEmulator & set up MAME. I can launch games with my remote, but I need the keyboard to press enter, esc, etc. I have a Logitech Rumblepad, but I have absolutely no idea how to get it working. Any help is much appreciated.
Also, the Rumblepad requires me to set up profiles. Does anyone have a profile that would match an Xbox controller? I have a chipped Xbox with 2 cordless controllers and am use to them.

Hi,
I am also using this nice and helpful plugin with Mame32.
Just one question: has someone found out how to have the highest scores saved?
If I run Mame32 outside MP, everything's fine and the HS are saved. When I launch it via My Emulators, no HS are saved.
Any clue? Thanks.

I have a wireless rumblepad. I used the Logitech Profiler to set up a Mame profile & map the 5, 1, 2 & esc keys to buttons for adding a credit, 1 player, 2 player & exit (from reading this thread, alt+f4 might be better).
If anyone using a Rumblepad has profiles that they set up for different emulators, could you please post them, or at least the button assignments? I don't know if what I'm doing is the best way to set up the Rumblepad. I'll be using Fusion 3.51 for Sega, zsenesw 1.51 for Super Nintendo & Project 64 1.6 for Nintendo 64.

Thanks.

Sorry, no news yet. I'll probably take the time to sit down and create the next big version in June or something.

You dont need to search a database to do that. there are files for mame that come wtih all the information

there are
Mameinfo.dat
History.dat
Hiscore.dat
cheat.dat
nplayer.dat tells you how many players each rom has.
controls.dat

one of those dats cant remember which has all the names in them he just needs to add those files and make it scan the roms.
