Been using Drnoksnes with no probs, but looking for a bit of help with SDL Mame if possible.

First, have read thru lots of threads, but can not find an answer - and thought if I started a thread and it was redundant and/or stooooopid it can be easily locked rather than bog down Flandry's excellent thread.

Second, appreciate that it is a work in progress, so not aimed at noobs - but what can I say . . . . . . . . .

My problem is, I have installed SDL Mame, but when running it closes down almost straight away.
Guessing that some knowledge of how and/or where to place/edit roms is required - maybe using x terminal.
Does anyone have the time to post an idiot/noob guide ?

My new problem is that I thought before asking for help I would uninstall, and do a fresh install, but now when I go to download/install, I can not see it in the library/list - any ideas ?

Any help much appreciated

Try this, make a roms folder in your phone memory and store the zip roms there.

Then open up mame and select rom.

DOH !, Just realised my problem - I had a folder called Roms, which in turn had sub folders inside.

Moved some stuff around, and made sure the roms were inside the first folder (hope that makes sense), and all now good - thanks
