Title: MameUI32/Mame???
Post by: desdrl on January 24, 2012, 02:48:13 PM

Hi, I installed MGalaxy on my Windows 7 64 bit work PC using MameUI31 and it works perfectly, I then installed it on my Windows 7 64bit home PC using MameUI32 and MGalaxy is saying that no Mame.exe is found????
I renamed the MameUI32.exe to Mame.exe on the home PC and MGalaxy loads but no games or screenshots are shown.

Anyone  suggestions?

You must indeed rename your application to "mame.exe"
Then, you have to be sure that the snapshots are stored in a folder called "snap" and the rom files in a folder called "roms"...both in the same folder that hosts your mGalaxy.exe & mame.exe files

Installed MameUI64 and working now thanks. Now just got to get the joystick working.
Which comes to the question, can you use a standard everday joystick?

Glad to hear that everything's fine now!!
Yes you can use a standard gamepad/joypad...but you'll have to get an utility to convert joystick input to keyboard input. You'll find links to them on the mGalaxy download page (and surely other ones that I'm not aware of, on other sites)
