mGalaxy forum

Hi folks,

I have an upright MAME console with a Tankstick. After many years, I decided to overhaul the PC and upgrade all the software. I've moved from MaLa to mGalaxy and I'm excited to get everything set up and polished!

Is there an easy way to edit global and per-game MAME .ini files without resorting to hand editing? In my previous install, I used EasyMAME:

http://easymame.mameworld.info/

It was a very nice graphical front-end for MAME, and provided graphical dialogs for global and per-game configuration of all the various options:



I could tweak settings for games interactively in EasyMAME, then use those same settings with MaLa and MAME itself for the final player experience.

However, I see that EasyMAME hasn't been touched since 2008. How is everyone managing their global and per-game MAME configuration files? Are we really back to hand-editing .ini files??

IDK, but personaly I m using Emuloader (this one is still active) > http://emuloader.mameworld.info/

Thank you Aeliss! This is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. Do you just install this in your MAME directory, then use it interactively to get your MAME configurations right?

Nope in a separate folder, this application ask for the mame folder and can work in an other folder.
I m using it too to keep my rom in date, It don't download itself the rom but realy usefull to find the old/missing rom.
It have too a special function to make snapshoot (and find missing one).

When booting up my pc these settings are gone

You are trying with mGalaxy or directly with mame executable.
Mame have general configuration and configuration by game.

Configuration can be difficult, read only file, bad folder name, wrong files place, ect .. The easier way, delete all the files (execpt roms and pictures)  and install mame again.
