Title: INI/CFG import file format?
Post by: fleggett on 11 November 2017, 10:12

Hello.  My apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but what is the text format of the ini/cfg file for importing paths in the Settings section?  I've tried a few formats but they didn't seem to work.  Thanks in advance.

Your're talking about the "import" button in the settings window?
It's for importing rompath and samplepath information (and nothing more) from an existing mame.ini file (which is generated by MAME....e.g. via mame.exe -cc)

Users often simply use drag'n drop or the add button to add the rom and samplepaths manually.....so you can of course use this, too

the mame.ini format is a plain textfile with a keyword and the beloning value...rom-, sample paths are semicolon-separated, for example:

rompath                  f:\MAME\ROMs\3DO;f:\MAME\ROMs\AcclaimPSX;
samplepath              f:\mame\samples
