Multiple ROM directories

[donluca]

Hi!

I'm struggling trying to let mGalaxy work with multiple rom directories.

I have my mame.ini file set correctly and, if I start MAME, everything works well.

The problem is that mGalaxy recognizes only the rom path put into its configurator. If I try to start a game which has its roms in another directory, it will not start (or better... it will start and then close because it cannot find the roms).

Is there a way to tell mGalaxy to look for more than one rom folder?

How is your directory ?

Code: Select all

Roms/Roms1
Roms/Roms2
Roms/Roms3 

?

Because from my memory if you select "Roms" in roms folder, all will works, no ?

C:\MAME\roms
C:\MAME\otherroms
C:\MAME\evenmoreroms
C:\MAME\chd

Aeliss is right, mGalaxy scan folders recursively!
So, you would simply need to structure it that way (and apply in mame.ini too if you want to...but that's not mandatory for mGalaxy to work):

C:\MAME\ROMS\roms
C:\MAME\ROMS\otherroms
C:\MAME\ROMS\evenmoreroms
C:\MAME\ROMS\chd

I know, but then clrmamepro would complain about unneeded files and I'd hate to forget to remove the thing to fix unneeded files and see 350GB+ of CHD vanish like stars in the morning light.

Clrmamepro haven't option to exclude folder ?

I have to look into it but I didn't notice one. I'll make a google search about it just to make sure.
