MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - Not a barb, stop flamin! Question/apology inside

OK I think you guys are just looking to get offended here, I didnt put out any "barb" Im simply telling the truth. I would like to have a reasonable question asked and answered and not start a troll session or flame war. I never called anything "shit" that was some other guy in the comments. I never used any derogatory or hurtful words.

I can write my own frontend for it. Thats not the point. I can run it correctly from command line, so of course all I would have to do is build a simple interface to imput those variables each time. The problem is, if I wrote one, either in C++ or just a simple html5 interface, mine would also be ugly and clunky. If the author of mameuifx is actually on here and reading this, apologies, you have written something quite useful and should be proud of it. You should also know that it is well, kinda ugly and clunky. Thats not a barb, thats just the truth. Every frontend has its pros and cons. The pros are that yours works splendidly. The cons are, well....previously stated.

Now back to the mala problem...It is not running in the wrong resolution. It refuses to remember any of my settings, whether that be a res change or turning tripple buffer or vsync on, whathave you. It just starts up without these options no matter what. I have a renamed mame .148 executable of !mame.exe and have written a !mame.ini and a mame.ini According to mame law it should check for one of these and then if it is not there go on to the next one. Even after manually turning on my options in the .inis if I use mame to execute then the options do not work. If I use mameuifx they do. If I go command line they do.

Any thoughts?

PS to anyone who wastes their time programming for the masses, thank you.
