Just kidding, couldn't resist.

There are words on the subject in the wiki already not sure if it works as I don't ise mame32.

hmm, did a search for mame and it didn't show up; ah well, excellent link, but could use some updating. Thanks surfermc.

mmm, I have not been able to use the previous link to install mame32 on the current version of MP; so.... I'm looking to completely retool the emulation Wiki. Any help would be appreciated.

1) Launch Configuration.exe
2) Launch the myPrograms-plugin-setup screen
3) Add a new "MAME DIRECT"-application: "Add Child" => "Extended" => "MAME Direct importer" -> a new detail screen appears
4) Set the "LAUNCHING APPLICATION" by clicking the browse button to the right. Select the location of your mame32.exe => myPrograms tries to set as many options and directories as possible.

* Set you game files directory
* Uncheck "Quotes around filenames"
* Remove the "-skip_disclaimer" tag, keep the other two.

5) Click the FILES tab
6) Click the "UPDATE DATABASE" button to launch the importer

baloubic - thanks for your response.

I followed your instructions then clicked on the "Launch" button for a game that works stand-alone (this on the same page as the "Update Database" button). Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this?

Hi again,

I'm not at home, so I can't check where/if my instructions were wrong... But try to remove all tags except -joy (joy should be there, but only one of the other two tags. Maybe I remembered wrong in my first post)

Also, uncheck "only import files with valid images", if you haven't already done so. Mame support does still work, as I use the same MP version with mame without problem, so don't lose hope

When I set it up, I followed wabeards instructions from the initial release:
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/showthread.php?t=2036&highlight=mame

...and it worked for me. There is some bugs covered later in that thread as well.

Good luck!

Thanks for your help

It was the arguements other than "-joy" that were messing me up! IT WORKS!!!

I'll put this in the Wiki soon.
