configuration of folder paths

Hi,

in the configuration of folder paths, Mame 0.177 on Mac OS does not allow more than 2 sub-trees (C :: // 1/2 /folder_name; which is not enough! I would like C: // 1 /2/3/4/5/6/7/8/..../folder_name

How to overcome this problem?


thanks

I have a couple paths in my .ini file which are 3 deep and they function properly on Windows (0.228):

Code: Select all

samplepath                samples;d:/samples;c:/mamegit/mame/samples
artpath                   artwork;c:/mamegit/mame/artwork

Perhaps it is a problem with your version or package for MAC OS? Have you tried to obtain a later binary?
MAME 0.177 you are reporting is nearly 4.5 years old now and is difficult to support.
