[RESOLVED] FM TOWNS MARTY x Command line x GameEx

[Alan Ribas]

Could anyone tell me the appropriate command line to make the MAME emulator open the FM TOWNS MARTY system games through gameex?

I'm searching here ... but I didn't find anything that could help me.

I currently use the UNZ emulator. But I wanted to give MAME a chance.

Since FM Towns Marty is not an arcade system, you need to setup as a separate emulator slot. Integrated MAME support will filter out non-arcade systems.

Have you checked the arcadecontrols forums?

Add MAME in an emulator as you have the others

Troubleshooting like me is really easy.  LOL. 

I first read the documentation to the emulator.  Also google is your friend.  This forum as well as others are very helpful.  Mostly it's just experience and knowing where to look or just testing till you find your answer.

I searched google several times looking for command lines using keywords like "fm towns marty", "MAME", "command line". But I found nothing.

 

Thank you!!!

It may be in how you are searching instead of what you are searching.

Here are two resources that may help relative to searches and troubleshooting for the emulators and use within GameEx:
