clrmame Discussion / Creating Systems by hand and a few questions
« on: 27 July 2019, 14:28 »
Hello,
I've been trying to figure out if there is an alternative method for creating "System Paths" without having to use the gui. I have been looking into using mame.exe to generate the dat file, and looking at the "System Paths" for each bios etc... I've come across a few "issues" if you will. (clrmamepro is working fine.)
1. I'm kinda lazy and don't want to click through setting the paths for the "Systems" screen.
2. I can't seem to find a way to edit / manually enter the paths.
3. I'm kinda confused on how / where to rebuild the mame sets to (folder structure) so mame sees everything as it likes.
4. the message that pops up is saying "rom will be named diferently if using full merge mode", I'm not sure what to do with these ( thus far i've clicked ok to all)
5. For some reason when i drag and drop the FbAlpha roms from the git page they never show up ...
6. Using the prestring for bios "%b\" (i hope i'm using this right) puts some files in the folder but leaves copies of them in the build folder. (EX: mameRom\RomBiosSet\roms (they appear here) and they also appear in mameRom\)
Is this possible?
thank you for making a fantastic piece of software. I appreciate any help that may be out there.
