Totally Confused
#398397 - 04/29/24 02:03 AM


First, I haven't tried using MAME for MANY years (maybe around 25 yr) As I remember, it was pretty straight-forward... Just start it up and select a single ROM.

Now it brings up this pretty multi-color GUI window. No matter what I click in that window, it always an error complaining about "no ROM found". Help??

Well, you do have ROMs, don't you? https://www.mamedev.org/roms/
You're supposed to download the ZIP files, and put those ZIP files in the "roms" directory of your MAME folder in order to play them. Have you done that?
