i'm sorry if this is the wrong section to askbut i wanted to rip some sprites out of a mame gamei've contacted R[e]ika and he gave me this specially compiled mame filehttp://rapidshare.com/files/51915188/20070828mame.rarbut it doesnt start up for mecan anyone give me a small step-by-step please?- luff
ok.unzip that file. make a roms folder in the same folder you have the mame.put the rom you want to rip inside the roms folder.in windows go to start then run then type "cmd" whitout the quotes.X) cd to the folder in which mame is.type mame romname.after that follow the instructions in the readme.X takes longer to explain, google for commadn line navigating folders or something similar.
FINALLY sweet succes i got it started but the buttons dont workit crashes on left shift+ctrl+oand the layers disabling have no effectit's holding left shift plus the numbers on the rightside of the keyboard right?sorry for being stupid folks i tried asurabus btw
the numbers are on the left sidedon't know what does buttons don't work means. mame's default controls use the directinal arro and left ctrl and atl, you can press tab and change them.shift ctrl o seem to crash mame because it takes control off the mame window and moves it to the command prompt you use to run mame.
