Seems to be the classic case of I've been sticking with an old version for so long but now I want to upgrade and things weren't done correctly.
I really need a quick and dirty way to C&P a solution to this.
Try this
Quote: The new MAME 0.172 comes out in a couple days (Wednesday) When this happens go to mamedev.org and download the appropriate archive. Hopefully you're 64-bit
Extract it into an empty folder preferably on a secondary drive. execute mame64 -cc this creates a mame.ini that you can open with Notepad ++ or equivalent and set options. In your case the most important seems to be rompath option so MAME can find all your ROMs, CHDs, software lists.
rompath J:\MAME ROMs;J:\MAME CHDs;J:\SOFTWARE LIST ROMS;J:\MESS CHDs;I:\MESS CHDs
After which you have the option of using MAME's internal UI or hooking up QMC2.
