BIOS-D: Or use Stella. 
UMan: Let's not start bickering all over the forums. If you're holding grudges on an internet forum you've got too much time on your hands.
As for it being complex - you have to use the term in context. Since I was doing IT before Windows 3.1, it's not like it's above and beyond my intelligence. Unlike you, I do sometimes have to ask questions, and there's no shame in that.
To the issues at hand - I think ultimately what we have here is a technical implementation that mostly kinda works. However, from a user perspective - which Mame devs may not care about - they've a long way to go.
Having established how Mame works, which has been a successful project, I'd have thought that it would have been a baseline of both performance AND operation. Apparently it's not. I don't know why they've chosen this cludge, so I won't guess - i'll just say that unless I find out something else the ultimate answer to this is obvious - don't use Mame to run Atari 2600 games. It's just not worth it. It offers a little less than Stella, with an interface that is much worse.
I've no interest in C64, so thank goodness won't be trying it. I was tempted to try Atari 400/800, but after the 2600 thing I'm beginning to think it's just not worth the trouble.
Since I've already mentioned that I've checked the INI and the path is correct, I'll assume that you've not read all the posts. Of course, I may well be missing something - could you tell me the specific files that are required?
In short - I can see why they went with MESS as an acronym.
EDIT: I'm going to grab another torrent of ROMS and see where that gets me. It'll take a while though, because my connection isn't the best.
