Then also in the config folder a file called MAME.opt (this contains the options settings in RA): Then in the RA config folder under MAME, have a mame.cfg file with: Share_directory G:\Emulators\Retroarch\system\mame\comments\share Snapshot_directory G:\Emulators\MAME\snapĭiff_directory G:\Emulators\Retroarch\saves\MAME\mame\diffĬomment_directory G:\Emulators\Retroarch\system\mame\comments Input_directory G:\Emulators\Retroarch\saves\MAME\mame\input Nvram_directory G:\Emulators\Retroarch\saves\MAME\mame\nvram Languagepath G:\Emulators\Retroarch\system\mame\languageĬfg_directory G:\Emulators\Retroarch\saves\MAME\mame\cfg Pluginspath G:\Emulators\Retroarch\system\mame\plugins Inipath G:\Emulators\Retroarch\system\mame\iniįontpath G:\Emulators\Retroarch\system\mameĬheatpath G:\Emulators\Retroarch\system\mame\cheatĬrosshairpath G:\Emulators\Retroarch\system\mame\crosshair Samplepath G:\Emulators\Retroarch\system\mame\samplesĪrtpath G:\Emulators\Retroarch\system\mame\artworkĬtrlrpath G:\Emulators\Retroarch\system\mame\ctrlr Hashpath G:\Emulators\Retroarch\system\mame\hash Rompath G:\Emulators\MAME\roms G:\Emulators\MAME\roms_chds G:\Emulators\MAME\software G:\Emulators\MAME\software_chds Homepath G:\Emulators\Retroarch\system\mame Anything in the paths below that says it is in the "retroarch" folder path has to be in RA folder (it won't work outside RA because of glitch in the MAME core). Make sure your Rom path and SWpath point to a full set MAME rom set and software rom set. See example below but you will have to adapt to your paths. So don't just copy over your normal MAME.ini into RA, you have to adjust paths. This special RA version of MAME.ini basically is only used to point to ROM paths outside of RA. The key here is you have the paths to your "normal" (non-RA) MAME folder with all your ROMs and full software set. The MAME ini folder will have a dumbed down version of a normal MAME.ini file. These are the only folders in my MAME RA folder (Note looks like MAME folder but substantially truncated and no ROMs): ROMs can be pointed to in a normal setup outside RA. However, you do have to do certain folders, particularly the HASH, samples, and INI folders. With an option setting in RA, you don't have to put your ROMs in the RA directory. However, there is a setting that allows you to avoid duping your ROMset into the RA folder. It needs two pieces plus the HASH folder which is the "map" for MAME to know which software carts/files go with particular bios. So it isn't a "normal" arcade" setup with point to a ROM and go. With AES you are not only using neogeo bios files but also software carts. If you are putting stuff in the RA directory for MAME then you to have all bios and software (i.e., cartridges) there as well unless you tell RA to look for ROMs outside normal RA path.
