Title: Multiple ROM directories
Post by: donluca on November 26, 2015, 06:42:47 AM: 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?

Code: [Select]
Roms/Roms1 Roms/Roms2 Roms/Roms3
?

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

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

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
