I followed that, but without success. No software ever showed up.
Here's the problems I have:
At start, it tries to phone home looking for updates, but my test system is not on the internet, causing pfemame to furiously flash red. Is there a way to turn this off?
Main screen - only parents show as "exists" - the clones will run, but they don't "exist". This might be because I use merged rom sets.
I found the setting to run games in windowed mode, but it doesn't stick, and there's no "save" button". The game always runs full screen.
According to Section 22 (page 25), I have to make a machine to be a favorite before it can be used for software. So I made "Microbee 16k Standard" a favorite. Selecting Favorites causes it to show up. But there's nothing else there. I can't see any right-click option to make the software show.
The right-click includes "Analyze XML Info" - not sure if this applies to the machine or the software, but it never works. "This program does not exist in an XML HASH file."
In File Paths, it lets me add multiple paths to the "Roms folder". But it's all forgotten after restarting. Sometimes the new folder shows but the original one has vanished.
For the above Microbee, I tried out the "ROMS preferences". Before selecting a bios, the edit-box shows what looks like "1" or "l". I had to select the 2nd bios then the first to make it show properly. I selected window mode in there, it was saved but still not applied. Lastly there's a section for manual settings - there's no examples of what kind of things go there. I added a line to see what happened, but it wasn't saved.
So, sorry to say, I haven't had much luck. Running games and systems by themselves is fine. But no software.
