Thank you so much for the information. It really helps knowing that I can look in the XML files to get some answers. However you have shown me that this is WAY to big of a pain in the ass to make work LOL. Finding the ROM file for the Supercharger (scharger.zip) has turned up goose eggs on the dozen of so sites I've used over the years. Then on top of that, trying to find the cassette versions of the games didn't get anywhere either. Using the .a26 files on Stella has worked for literally over 20 years without the gymnastics, I can only figure that since the MAME team is hell bent on historical emulation, that I can understand the design reasons. For my purposes, which is just enjoying the games, I personally could care less . Again please don't think I am unappreciative, I am OVERWHELMINGLY appreciative, but sometimes the correct answer is not the answer your looking for, and in this case the answer appears to be is "Don't use MAME" 🤣 Thank you, Don

I am trying to consolidate the number of emulators I use and switching to MAME when the performance is similar then other stand alone projects. My issue is that I cannot get MAME to load Starpath Supercharger games. From a command prompt, the error I get is "Fatal error: Device Atari VCS 2600 Cartridge Slot load failed: Unsupported cartridge ROM file size" Now I get that the games came on tape and there is certainly a switch that is needed, but while the MAME team deserves all the credit in the world for their efforts, the online manual for the docs is a disaster. Does anyone know how to get this working or do I stick with STELLA? Thank you all in advance! Don
