[QUOTE="waeberd, post: 15537, member: 10343"] Hi folks, Downzy was right, Migishu :D . These changes were implemented after 0.1.2.0, that's why you don't find the MAME DIRECT IMPORTER in the configuration. You can do two things: *) wait for 0.1.3.0 *) get a current CVS version, for example here: [url]http://www.myshare.de/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,37/[/url] (scroll down) please put them both into your MAME-basedirectory. Otherwise MP wont find them. If you want to test MAME [b]now[/b], you can do the following: ([b][i]this is the old style of using mame roms and the method described on top of this thread is much simpler and much more complete[/i][/b]) [code]1) AddChild -> "DIRECTORY CACHE" 2) Click "Tools" -> "Read from Profile" -> "MAME": This will fill the sheet with reasonable values for mame 3) Overwrite the path to your MAME32.exe in "Launching Application" 4) Add your ROM-directory in the field "File Directory" 5) Optional but recommended: add all the mame-image directories you have on the "Image directories" field 6) Click the "FILES" tab 7) Hit the "Update Database" button, (yes this time it's there :) ) => This will import all the roms you have on your disk into the MP database [/code] [b]Now you can:[/b] *) in configuration, doubleclick one item to see the imported details *) select one item and hit LAUNCH to test if the game is started properly *) of course launch games in MP itself. [b]Problems with this "old-style" method:[/b] . Gametitles are not correct. myPrograms simply uses the rom-filename as the gametitle, which is wrong for MAME-games . No overview descriptions, details about games etc. So.... if you want cool MAME support, check out the latest CVS version! :) Hope that helps! Daniel [/QUOTE]
