MAME™ Quick Start Guide: Page 3: Using Add-on Files.

| page 1 | page 2 | page 3 |

Since many of our customers use MAME, I've updated the short tutorial for MAME into a... well... longer tutorial for MAME.  Still, this is by no means a *complete* setup guide as it is intended for people who have purchased our arcade control panels, but the information is valuable for other gamepads and gamepad encoders.

Extra Files For MAME Installations:

So what are all those "extra" folders like "cabinets", "flyers", and "marquees" for?  Well, they're for "extras" of course!   Several people have collected images of the actual arcade marquees and original flyers so they can be displayed when you are browsing through your ROM list.  Pretty cool huh?  All you need to do is download the files and save them in the appropriate folder.
