=> bkenobi : i've download fresh file (history, maminfo and other) => frequency : if i use this option mame doesn't work (because -artwork option is out) i don't understand, when i've installed gameex on my old system it work with mame32 .103 but now it didn't work. (i use mame 0.136) is there some option in display setting to see this information, in mame.ini ? the resolution of my screen ? thinks.
