Mame 0.217 Windows
I’ve been experimenting with running the MAME application from a read only network share, its working pretty well but…
It doesn’t seem to look in the right place when loading state.
I configured the INI like so:
state_directory %APPDATA%\MAME\sta
When I save everything is sound.
When I load it don’t work, it looks in the wrong place:
ProcMon shows:
SAVE:
CreateFile C:\Users\Fred\AppData\Roaming\MAME\sta\megadriv\1.sta SUCCESS
LOAD (On the load it continuously attempts this until you close the dialogue):
CreateFile \\some-box\MameFront$\MameApp\%APPDATA%\MAME\sta\megadriv\ PATH NOT FOUND
Looks like in the load it’s not expanding environment variables, and doing something weird with the path.
Cheers
