hi targhan
for directinput you have to press ralt rshift enter at the once
in the prefs-window

roschmyr,

Thank you for the extra info! Maybe it's time for a "How to Guide"?

Hi Targhan
I'm back to my studio and Peg. How do you take screenshots of Mame screens? I havent tried your icons yet, but will do .. thanks

You can get screengrabs by using SGrab. Usually for MAME screengrabs, I run the game in a window with no sound. Then, it is a little easier to time the grab. (Use the window option from SGrab).

Interestingly, SGrabPPC (included with sgrab) saves to the PNG format. Thus, a simple resize and rename will turn it into an icon.

Thanks Targhan
The new MAME .69 for MOS is Awesome! I love it! Big improvement and
seems for stable and the gui is great! Thanks for the sgrab tip

The easiest way to make a snapshot is to use the built-in function. Go to the tab-menu-> input (general) and see which key is assigned to the snapshot function. Then just press it while you play, and snaps will be saved in snaps/ directory.

Everytime If I got a good idea... someone had that idea early. :)

btw: why do u need a MAME: assign? simple "SETENV SAVE MAMEPATH partition:mamedirectory/" and made a cd $MAMEPATH in your scripts. This saves an Assign. :)

and don't forget to have a look here: http://www.christianrosentreter.com/specials/mame_icons.png (will be released next weekend with around 50 icons).

@tokai
Very nice icons in the screengrab! How do they work in comparison to the ones I've already pumped out?

I used a MAME: assign, because it also makes life easier in the shell when typing. I would much rather type "Mame:" than "cd $mamepath".

@everyone else:
for the mamecons: do you want the "joypad" option in the scripts by default, of left out by default?

Anyway, tokai, don't stop work on your icons, they are really neat!

@targhan:

I've just uploaded it to my homepage... so u can check yourself. Na... only simple scripts... :)

Get them from from:
http://www.christianrosentreter.com/releases/index.php?lang=en or look at the screenshot here:

So.. now I have "spammed" all news portals only because 30 icons. I must be crazy! :)

Ha! spam Hey, I like your icons. I think I may change the ones I have created to use a simular method to yours (then apply the same kind of script to the ones you have done). Who says people will not want both?

Hi, does it work with an usb gamepad?

I installed mame today - works great. Any of you guru's know if there
is support for the catweasel mk3 in mame?

How do you pronounce MAME... is maym, mah-mi, mammy, maymi ?

What does MAME run? How robust is this amiga MAME emulator compared to windows MAME emulators?

@DSLCC
I have my Peg and Catweasel MK3 working with MAME .69 MOS and joystick! You need Guido M's new lowlevel.driver for MOS. You also need latest Open pci software. There is another forum on this with full instructions...

@Vincent X
Oh oh vincent x... if you plan on running Mame you better plan on owning the Arcade games or Roms of them that you are going to emulate. Its "illegal" to do so without that. Kind of like running Mac On Linux!
