1. Set up the alternate version of MAME as an emulator.
2. Use mameemumap.ini to tell GameEx what games you want to run on the alternate emulator. (There is a GUI for this file, but I don't remember what it's called).
3. Turn on the mame map file in GameEx.

BK - Not to call you out, but is this true?

The reason that I ask, is that I started writing a GUI for Mame Mapping yesterday, and if there already is one, I don't want to continue.

When I click on the Icon for Mame Mapping in the Start\GameEx folder, it opens the mameemumap.ini file in notepad.

I've never known of one either. I always remember it working as you said Tempest! I would continue with your GUI.

Nope, you are correct. I was thinking of the custom menu editor. There is no GUI for the MAME map.
