Hi. I removed the . from the mame directory, edited the config file to point to it then tried it. It did the same thing. It tried to load the seed game with a save state. I have pasted the log file: [00.218] STARTUP: arcadeEIP, Rev. 0.4.2.0. License: Public. Free for non-commercial use.

Hi Yes I highlighted astro blaster and hit the left ctrl. It made a noise and didn't do much else. I tried launching another game and it would not try any more without exiting. This is what is in the native batch file. Galaga is the seed game. F: CD F:\MAME0.243 F:\MAME0.243\mame.exe galaga -nowindow -joy -skip_gameinfo -autosave -nosleep -priority 1 -keyboardprovider dinput Thank you

1. Yes I can invoke the game menu with a . 2. When I try to run a game with the left ctrl key, it looks like it runs the seed game with a saved state. 3. The first time I tried to run the runlast_native.bat it had an error due to a space in the mame directory between the mame and the version number example: mame 0.264. I renamed the directory and updated the config file. It seems to launch only the seed game when I press the left ctrl key. Do I have to highlight the game I want to run? Thank you for your quick reply. I like the whole concept of this project and want to see it running.

Hi. I am having trouble launching games from within arcadeEip after running eip.exe. The seed game runs, but nothing else will. I tried changing the Launch key in the config file to numerous values, but nothing works.
