Title: Way to have multiple versions of the same emulator?
Post by: dryden on November 24, 2017, 04:00:15 AM

Is there a way to have multiple versions of the same emulator?
In my many roms I have some that require specific different versions of mame. If there anything I can do to tell attract to launch this rom with that version and that rom with another version?

Or...
1. Name each emulator differently
e.g. mame137, mame143, fusion, neogeo, etc.
2. Put the roms in the appropriate emulators.
3. In AM/Emulators > Generate collection/rom list with the emulators you want and name it e.g. Multi.
4. Add a new display and select "Multi" in the Collection/Rom list.
