Title: [RESOLVED] Mame ini files
Post by: boriskarloff on December 10, 2019, 03:58:36 PM

This is my problem.
If I use Mame, all the files ini are created in the INI folder and it is ok.
If I use Attrac Mode, the ini files are create in the Mame exe folder.
I moved them in the INI folder, but new of them are created in the Mame exe folder.

Someone can tell me how to fix it?
Thank

I, directly, make the modifications to the "mame.ini" file for all games in general.

Thanks for reply, but I don't understand.
I open the MemeUI.ini (I use MameUI64) but I don't see nothing about that you wrote me.

Thanks.

Oh ... Sorry, I use the ExtraMAME version because it already comes with all the bios included and updated. Anyway, what do you want to do with those files?

In the version I have of MAME, the same thing happens to me. If I set up a specific game, it creates a game file in the root directory and not in the "ini" folder, for example "kof94.ini". This happens to me, even without using Attract-Mode, it may be due to the general configuration of MAME ... I don't know. It is for this reason that I decided to modify the "MAME.ini" file for all games.

Ok I resolved.
By shell/prompt MameUi64.exe -cc
or your mame.exe -cc
It creats a mame.ini file in the same mame folder.

Edit it; at the line:
inipath                   .;ini;ini/presets

change it:
inipath                   ini;ini/presets

Good thing I could solve it. Thank you for sharing the solution. :)

In one computer it works... in the other I had to to do this:
inipath                   /ini;ini/presets

I hope it can help others.
