What folder MAME look for .lua files ? 3. are .lua filenames the same as game names ? 4. can script files for a game be zipped or only unzipped ? Thanks for the help.

The one specified on the command line, if any. Otherwise you're at the mercy of the OS. > 3. are .lua filenames the same as game names ? No. They are whatever filename the user gives on the commandline. > 4. can script files for a game be zipped or only unzipped ? Probably only unzipped. CiroConsentino Frontend freak!

Most of the TAS-capable/"re-recording" emulators are LUA scriptable as well. Andrew Girl Watcher Reged: 09/21/03 Posts: 5082 Loc: Boston, Mass. Send PM Re: lua scripts... file location ?

Lua isn't for writing game engines - it's a scripting engine to embed in your game engine. Pages: 1
