Hi all.  New to mgalaxy.  I've managed to get Snes9x running, but FB Alpha won't run.  When I go to run any MAME game, the mouse cursor is busy, nothing seems to happen.  So I have to cancel out.  Any advice?  Is there a different MAME I should try?

It works on stand alone mode ? With the same rom ?

mgalaxy works, and snes9x, yes.  just not fb alpha, none of the roms/games run, just a busy cursor.

But FBA work on standalone mode, without mGalaxy ?

Have you scan your rom folder with fba to be sure the roms are good ?

With one version have you, I have just see there is a new version 1 week old, and it 'is not this one I have.

Ahh I got it now.  I was using the exe only.  FB works with some games, but not all.  Is there a MAME emulator that works with the most games?

Hu, the better emulator for mame rom is called "Mame".
Or I haven't understand your question ?

If you're talking about MAME64 command line version, I couldn't use it with mgalaxy.

i have a new computer.  what i meant is that when i run mame64 with mgalaxy it won't play the games.  just a black screen.  pretty sure i have to configure something.

hmm i put the two ini files in the mame64 folder, and then created the database and checked to use the database.  the games still won't run,  i get the cmd window for an instant and then it disappears.
