clrmame Discussion / Newb Alert! Several questions
« on: 22 May 2016, 22:10 »
Okay so firstly I'm really new to emulation and have started my first project with a Pi3 running Retropie.
My dilemma like many is MAME, I got my head round some stuff and was hoping you could all help me.
I have a copy of clrmamepro and have downloaded a full romset 1.38 I think , apprently it includes parents, bios etc. So heres my questions
1. I downloaded all the roms in 13 parts (Ie 13 folders) before I run the software do i need to slam everything into one folder bios, parents etc
2. It still all makes no sense but if I transfer it all to .78 with some amazing magic it all works.
3. If I Have a romset all updated for lrmame2003 if I want to for example play Simpsons will everything I need including parents and bios etc be in one file because if I search that now they are spread across all 13 folders , I'm confused wil clrmamepro organise it for me
I'm just so confused its MAME its getting very frustrating and every guide assumes your a genius. I didn't even know what Linux was till yesterday
Any help or budding mentor out there who wants to help a old guy get back to gaming again I would appreciate it
