mr_me Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Once you start the specific console machine emulator, press TAB to bring up a menu that lets you select and load a cartridge rom file, among other settings. F3 resets the machine. If the machine has a keyboard, scroll-lock enables/disables it. https://docs.mamedev.org/usingmame/defaultkeys.html#mame-user-interface-controls Edited August 15, 2023 by mr_me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzip Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 If you run from the command line, then it would be something like this, if the console needs system/bios roms the -bp is a location where the such roms can be found, the roms for the system can be zipped (coleco.zip in this case) or in a subdirectory with the same name (coleco) mame coleco -cartridge buckrogers.rom -bp <ROM DIRECTORY> It's also still possible to build mess separately from mame if you have the source code.

MrMaddog Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 If you're used to using MESSUI, then you can now run MAME straight up w/o any front end or command line (though they are still useful). Just run MAME and type in the name of the system, or arcade game, you wish to run. You'll then get a list of choices based on what you typed in that you can now select from. Of course you should still have the full BIOS and Software List ROMS included with the matching version of MAME... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was majorly bumming when Robbbert said it would be out about every three months. I hate using standard MAME. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
