According to the manual, MAME should parse its .ini file, even if renamed. So why doesn't mame0147.exe parse mame0147.ini ??
mame.exe parses mame.ini just fine, though.. So what's happening? Anyone know?
Exceprt from manual
Configuration options ---------------------
-[no]readconfig / -[no]rc
Enables or disables the reading of the config files. When enabled (which is the default), MAME reads the following config files in order:
- mame.ini - .ini (i.e. if MAME was renamed mame060.exe, MAME parses mame060.ini here) - debug.ini (if the debugger is enabled) - vector.ini (for vector games only) - .ini (based on the source filename of the driver) - .ini (for clones only, may be called recursively) - .ini
The settings in the later ini's override those in the earlier ini's. So, for example, if you wanted to disable overlay effects in the vector games, you can create a vector.ini with the "effect none" line in it, and it will override whatever effect value you have in your mame.ini. The default is ON (-readconfig).
