General / How do you set up individual consoles with MAME?
« on: June 23, 2018, 07:48:12 PM »
I have the latest official MAME binary from MAMEdev.org and I'm trying to set up my cabinet with Attract Mode.
I have 4 folders with ROMs/CHDs...
MAME 0.198 ROMs (merged)
MAME 0.198 CHDs (merged)
MAME 0.198 Software List ROMs (merged)
MAME 0.198 Software List CHDs (merged)
The "Software List" folders are the console ROMs and disc images.
I have the "arcade" part of MAME working in AttractMode but I can't figure out how to set up so that the individual consoles work.
At the moment, the consoles appear in the MAME list but launching it just starts the console without any cartridge/disc.
I know that MAME ships with XML lists of supported titles for each console in the /mame/hash/ folder but I don't know what to do with them in Attract Mode.
From a usability standpoint, I think it would be most convenient if there was a separate list for each console.
