NOOB - MAME64.EXE - wont work


Bilingual

Recommended Posts

Hi everybody i am a noob but have used several MAME frontends before,

I have followed the youtube instructions and imported my roms and downloaded mame0217b_64bit.exe which

Whenever i try to play a game and doubleclick, 7-zip comes up and wants to extract the mame0217b_64bit.exe, if i let it do it, it says it can not  overwrite the .Exe file

Obviously i am doing something wrong but what? - i have unzipped the game roms in a separate folder, but all my roms works fine as zips with my other MAME frontends.

 

Kind regards Daniel

MAME comes in a self extracting 7z file, so you need to unzipit first and point Launchbox at the mame64.exe within the extracted folder.
