mGalaxy forum

Now that I got most of mGalaxy working, I thought I would expand a little with a few more systems.
I am adding Atari 800, and Atari 5200
I am trying to use MESS, but so far that is all I am making out of it
I have all the necessasry BIOS files in the MESS Rom folders
ANd I have all the game ROMS in their respective folders.
But when ever I click on the game it brings up the MESS interface fora few seconds, and then dumps me back out to mGalaxy
Is there a step I am missing other than adding MESS and my games in Runway ?
Sorry for being such a pest here, but I am very new at this stuff and need a lot of help.

It's working without mGalaxy ?

Just for information remember MESS is not updated since 2016. It have merged with Mame ATM.

No it is not working at all. I am totally lost on this Mame?Mess thing. I have watched countless videos on how to set is up. I must be the dumbest person on the planet.
I can get MAME the arcade emulator to work, but that is the default.
I did have my Intellivision stuff working but then that crashed, and for the life of me I can not remember what I did to get it working.
Here is what I do. I take my roms, for the various systems. And then put them into sub directories Mame\Roms\Intellivision. Mame|\Roms\Atari800, Mame\RomsAtari500 etc,etc
Then I make sure Mame recognizes the main Roms directory in Mame using the directory option in Mame
Then using mGalaxy I enter the rom path  to the respective Rom folder, Make the executable The Mame.exe  file
Use the MESS option in Systems Application window in Runway
Run the runway to recognize my games
They show up in the menu, put when I hit enter... Nothing happens.

OK so I will try on my side. But on my side I don't use mame for console game.
Just tell me the version you are using, and if you want to use an old mess version or a Mame.

Remember 2 thing
- for console system you need the rom game AND the rom system.
- you need special command line from my memory for exemple "mame.exe a5200 -cart rom.rom", you can't use the same system than for arcade game.
