Snap directory problem....
#329753 - 08/11/14 11:36 PM


In my 'old' directory, MAME.exe (in this case .154) will not heed mame.ini snap entry of 'snaps' - whether the ini is in the parent directory or in the ini folder.

Creating a new directory with stock folders and all, and new mame.ini, with the snapshots entry set to 'snaps', will create a snaps folder and save there. What could be the issue in my old directory?

Note:

- XP machine
- typically I use UIFX, and it will save to the snaps folder in my old directory (if both the ini and the gui>directories ini are set similarly).



Scifi frauds. SF illuminates.

No idea. Maybe there's a permissions issue, or the folder is write protected because you copied it off of a backup DVD or CD.

Temporarily move your snaps folder out of there. Create a new, empty snaps folder. Run MAME, take a snapshot. Did it save to the new snaps folder? Good. Now move all your old snaps into the new folder.
