jayray442 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) I now have full mame(Non-Merged) and chd set .184(yes i know .185 just came out lol)(and thanks to those who pointed me in the right direction). I have always had a preconfigured mame set. My question is do i need to run this through clrmamepro or what else needs to be done before using it. Sorry i have done and set up a lot of systems both here and in hyperspin, but i have always used my old mame setup i got ready to go. so this is new to me jnust want to do it the best way possible.

DOS76 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 If you have the 0.184 set and you are trying to get the 0.185 update set and combine them then yes you need to use CLRMAMEPro. If you have the 0.184 set and you just want to use them then you don't have to do anything else with them they are good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 And just to add, if you are going to use the 0.184 set then you should probably use the 0.184 version of mame as well, its not essential but recommended that they match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil9000 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Just to add to that, what i meant by personal preference is that all MAME emulation is the same across different versions of it, however the UI can vary wildly between them. I found one i was comfortable with using UI wise and stuck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I like stand alone MAME personally but if you don't understand the mame.ini file to change settings a UI is probably better to start with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayray442 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 MameUI seems great one question. Is there a setting to get rid of the nag screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayray442 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 The screen that comes up and tells you if its a working rom and you have to hit a key to pass it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh right, im not sure to be honest, ill have to look. I always just hit the button to skip it. Didn't even realise that was a thing just assumed that was a part of mame. Well live and learn.

jayray442 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 It's not a big deal, i just had it skipping it in my old version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 OK, yeah found it just a checkbox, on or off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Its the skip system info checkbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Although now i have found that im still going to leave it as is, i find it usefull to know if a game is supposed to work or not, as i said user preferences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
