| for launching M.A.M.E I use ExecFile("c:\mame\mame.exe") but ExecFile("c:\mame\mame.exe bublbobl") for launching game don't work. why "ExecFile" don't take argument behind the executable please help me. (sorry for my english i'm french) |

| Hmm, I was wondering this as well, but my problem was solved a lot easier =P Instead of MAME dos prompts, I made a NES launcher, so all i had to type was execfiiile("C:\game\name_of_game.nes") and since i set the nes emulator as default opener for the .nes extension it automatically opened it with nes emulator..Dont think you can do this with mame, as its more Dos..But I dont much no anything about MAME |

| ExecFile("c:\mame\mame.exe bublbobl") should work, assuming that the correct path for mame.exe and %1 are provided, and this is the proper way to tell mame to load a file. It's possible that %1 is not using the full path (ie x.y instead of c:\mame\roms\x.y) or that it requires quotation marks to surround it (in that case, it would be ExecFile("c:\mame\mame.exe "+Chr$(34)+"bublbobl"+Chr$(34))). BTW %1 = first command line parameter. |

| I solved my problem , the solution is use 'ChangeDir "c:\mame"' for pointing in the MAME directory |

| Yea, I guess mame couldn't find the file bulbolb in the current dir. You could also do that (if mame supports) : ExecFile("c:\mame\mame.exe C:\mame\bulbbolb.nes") |
