Game romsets of home systems under MAME's software list methodology need predetermined directories check this link in order to learn about software lists and software storage if you're interested in emulation of home systems with Groovy MAME.Ģ. You'll also need the game, system BIOS and devices romsets for the corresponding MAME version, which should be placed in a permanent directory in the target computer.
Notice the 64-bit versions of Windows are required (though there use to be unofficial 32-bit builds posted in the BYOA forums if you happen to need them) and that this guide will only cover W7 since it's still the most reliable (and user-friendly OS) for GM usage.

We believe it's better using the "official" board at BYOAC to discuss anything GM-related, but feel free to make posts on the subject here in this thread too. Usage of 31-kHz 120-Hz monitors for natively 15-kHz modes also involves some particularities which would require their own thread. Flat-panel users can also take advantage of many of GM's unique features, though the particular tweaks they require will not be covered here.

With that in mind, it's been restricted to Windows 7 installations and CRT usage - our recommended environment. The tutorial tries to be as to-the-point as possible, so only the necessary aspects have been explained. This couples with GM's unique frame delay engine to essentially match the original experience on actual hardware regarding response times ( lag) if used properly, so there's currently a lot more to GM than just the capability to emulate the games on 15-kHz CRT monitors at their native vertical frequency and resolution modes. At the moment of posting this, MAME has just reached its version 0.212, and the possibilities to reduce audio latency to virtually the same level as the original hardware have become a reality. Groovy MAME is maintained and developed these days by Calamity alone, so it's CRT Emudriver's best friend. This guide assumes, on the other hand, that the reader has some understanding of the different video modes used by old games and of how they are displayed on CRT monitors. It's strongly recommended to read and broadly understand this tutorial for anybody not entirely familiar with the emulator, but keep in mind this is not GM's official documentation and will be outdated sooner o later. r/pinball - Pinball specific discussion.We've made this with two purposes - helping to get Groovy MAME ( GM) working and properly configured as soon as possible for anybody with no deep knowledge of MAME itself and the technicalities involved in CRT Emudriver, and summarizing Groovy MAME's features from Groovy MAME's official message board, where they have been developed, explained, discussed and well, kind of lost due to that Site's nature. r/arcade - Original CoinOP Arcade specific discussion. r/RetroGamingNetwork - a multireddit for retro gaming!

R/MAME RULES/REGULATIONS REDDIT'S ARCADE COMMUNITY Over time, MAME (originally stood for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) absorbed the sister-project MESS (Multi Emulator Super System), so MAME now documents a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles and calculators, in addition to the arcade video games that were its initial focus. The fact that the software is usable serves primarily to validate the accuracy of the documentation (how else can you prove that you have recreated the hardware faithfully?).

The source code to MAME serves as this documentation. This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions. As electronic technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents this important "vintage" software from being lost and forgotten. MAME’s purpose is to preserve decades of software history. MAME is a multi-purpose emulation framework.
