2ball

got it, thank you for the help. I created the file in the command prompt.

The ini folder has presets and the 2 files I got from you. then there is plugin.ini and in.ini on the page with the EXE file. I did a computer search for mame.ini and nothing came up. Still looking. using mame64. the file will be mame.ini correct?

I don't think I have it. Is this to file I have to create on the command bar?

where should mame.ini be? I did a search and it did not come up. that's the file that I make 1 instead of 0?

I'm not getting the lines. I tried several setups, currently, only the raster and vector files are in the ini folder.

do I just swap them out with the current raster and vector files?

that looks good. are those settings in the mame emulator?

I remember one effect that put scan lines in the screen

I may need a cabinet and a joystick set up, to capture some of the nostalgia. The games are almost unplayable now. Maybe I'll search for an old CRT monitor.

What is everybody using for a display? I am on a 27-inch gaming monitor 144 MHz and I can't say that any games look good. Maybe my memory is off and they always looked bad?

Thanks for all of the help so far. I tried to install Snes and now when I try to play an arcade game, it tries to open in Snes. hoping I don't have to reconfigure mame.

So my Front end has a front end?

round 3 What is retroarch and do I have to use retroarch?

ok, so I got bezels enabled, but they don't show up. I'm guessing I don't have the artwork to display on the set i just downloaded. If I want to move the bezels from my old set to this new set, where would they be? I looked through some folders, but could not find them.

I got the 0.202 merged set and everything works. A few posts back I complained about the bezel that was displayed around the screen. (an actual photo of the real bezel that displayed around the playable area of the screen) How do I get that back?
