Hi Robert,
Thanks for the latest version of MAMEUI.
Did something change in the path settings or folder location of Mame.ini over the past few versions of MAMEUI? (since v0.272)
The new v0.276.1 version of MAMEUI is not retaining my previous directory / path settings (roms, chd's, etc) and my Mame.ini file is being reset to an empty default Mame.ini file (with no paths) every time I launch after I extracted the new v0.276.1 version of MAMEUI over my previous version (previous version is v0.272 - Nov 27, 2024). I have had no issues overwriting MAMEUI to existing directories in the past.
I have also tried copying over my previous mame.ini file with all paths to the new version folder, but it keeps being reset and the path info is lost whenever I launch MameUI again.
When I manually add the directory paths in MAMEUI, the paths are still being reset / are gone when I launch MAMEUI again. I have tried write-protecting Mame.ini, and even though the original mame.ini file contents does not change (due to write-protect flag), the directory paths are still being reset to default values (when viewed in MAMEUI) when I next launch MAMEUI. So not sure where it is reading/writing the path info to now - Has the mame.ini location been changed from the previous ini folder location?
Thanks
