But I do not care because games still loads and plays! Still getting “error failed to open file for load operation” on some. Can I “disable non-working games” in MA without mucking things up? Trim down games and make a favorites list, (saw some forums posts about that) Unchecked the ‘brackets’ field in rescan. Always ‘force rescan’ when you try something new (setting in MA).

You do this by right-clicking on the MA exe file and go under program info. Made MA an Admin on the computer (read I should somewhere). You can also delete them from the configuration tab in MA. It is in a MA preferences folder under MAME. I deleted the game.lst files every time I tried something. Maybe they were just part of the right formula.

dat file referenced in Step 3 is the one you downloaded from progetto and linked the ClrMamePro rebuild to.Ī few other things I did, whether they made a difference or not, I do not know. **PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO STEPS 1-5 in configuring MA!! The. It’s on the first line or so of the code, should be noticeable. Especially opening the ‘mame.ini’ file with Notepad and noting the ROM path needed to be changed. *Instead or rewriting what Saltbee has put together, look up forum 'Maximus arcade noob questions' and follow the article. The result is now your main ROM set/folder, also where you ‘point’ MA. I had to re-run it leaving it set on “split sets”. IMPORTANT- MA doesn’t read “merged sets”. And you should always run the Emu first outside of MA to get it working properly.įirst and foremost, download and run ClrMamePro and the corresponding ROM set “.dat” file from I also found this YouTube video fairly straight forward on how to use it /watch?v=_lssz2pAba8. *Even though I had MAME itself running fine with all ROMs, I still could not get the majority of them up in MA. Maximus 2.10, MAME 1.83 (other emu’s that are not MAME/MESS seemed to be much easier to set up in MA fyi- Playstation, Atari 2600/5200, Sega). Hardware/software: Dell Optix 780 PC, Windows 10, 64bit, no internet connection.

(and I apologize in advance for the lengthy post, I’m writing this assuming people that need it are novice in this field as I was/still am). So this may not work for you, but it does point out a few obscure things I came across that were necessary. I realized there appears to be no single correct set of instructions applicable to everyone in one place.

I spent MANY hours sifting through forums finding all the right answers, and thank you all who do contribute. Instead of telling you what did NOT work, I’m just going to go straight into exactly what I did that ended up working (glad to answer additional questions anytime). Installed Maximus (MA) and began adding my emu’s. So, after hacking my way around Windows for a few days, I think I got the hang of it. Let me start by saying that I am Mac person by nature but went with the PC for my cabinet build because there seem to be more resources out there.
