O.k., sure, this is of course always possible.
But unfortunately, my actual problem is something different:
I was asking this question because I tend to put all static MAME-related files into one folder.
So, "mame.exe", the config files and all the ROMS are at the same place. I don't put the additional files into sub folders "roms" or "cfg".
That means in the "mame.ini", there is the line "rompath .".
This way, I have all the files at the same location and have a complete overview over everything:
"pacman.cfg", "pacman.ini", "pacman.zip", "sf2ua.cfg", "sf2ua.ini", "sf2ua.zip"
Dynamic things, by the way, like save states or screenshots, go into a completely different folder that's not a sub folder of the MAME folder: "state_directory ..\Stuff".
Now, if it's possible at all, I want to put the artwork files into the same folder as well, without a sub directory "artworks".
But since the ROM files and the artwork files usually have the same name (e.g. "pacman.zip"), this wouldn't be possible. That's why I'm looking for a way to do something like this:
mame pacman -use_artwork pacman_artwork.zip
Is this possible? Or does MAME always map artwork files with ROM file names?
