Map Files

[lingpanda]

Can someone give me a step by step tutorial on how to create a map file. I'm lost. The pop-up help file is of no use to me. Thanks.

Well there isn't much to them that I see...basically a standard ASCII file...same as right clicking in a directory and selecting "New Text Document" and creating a *.txt file...but changing the file extension to *.map

Each line in the file, first starts off with the name of the rom\archive\image file then secondly the name to be displayed with in GameEx is enclosed with double quotes.

I seem to only be saving the file as "filename.map.txt" What am I doing wrong?

Using notepad right...hehe double quote the file name you use to save it.

So instead of (filename.map) in the edit box have ("filename.map") and it should save fine.
