ranzo Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hello folks,I was now working for over 1 week on this package, which includes scripts, Documentations and tools and I reinstalled over 30 times my PC to check if really everything is working. Now really EVERYBODY is capable to create a complete highly optimized MAME PC system with this package. I created 2 packages :1. FULL MAME Installation Package V2.0Here You will find ALL necessary files ROMs excluded to create Your mame system. You will find the following folders :1. Scripts2. Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP 1 (x86)3. Windows Media Player 11 (OFFLINE Version)4. Vista Codec Pack5. Mameuifx326. Sega Model 2 Emu 0.957. ZiNc8. GameEx9. DiskTrix UltimateDefrag10. Boot Logo Changer11. Instant Sheller12. KeyThis! Testing Utility13. Refresh Force14. Nokia Monitor Test15. TriSync16. Daphne17. DirectX 9c August 2009 Redistributable18. Soft 15Khz19. Pinball20. Internet Explorer 8...and surely my complete documentation. I wrote everything in english (not in my native language german) so that everybody can use this document. I also made a TXT version of it so that You can use it when creating the high-performance environment (Wordpad will e.g. be deleted)2. LITE MAME Installation Package V2.0This version is nothing else than the first package but WITHOUT the following folders :2. Microsoft .NET Framework 2.03. Windows Media Player 114. Vista Codec pack6. Sega Model 27. Zinc8. GameEx16. Daphne17. DirectX 9c19.2 Visual PinMAME20. Internet Explorer 8With the scripts I included, almost 90% of the configuration will be automatically created. I used Rapidshare as Hoster :Here are the links to download...:Ränzos DownloadsektionI just tested everything again and its fine !Please post feedback, comments, improvements ect...in this thread...So, and now have fun with this package !!Update : Manual updated to Version 2.0Changed :1.

Brian Hoffman Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I get a files not found when clicking the link, Gameex has a new feature that will not only download the latest mame and configuration files but also over 70 other emulators. I like the package of common used utility's but am unfamiliar with the licensing and distribution of the defrag utility and monitor sync stuff.I will check this out once the links are working.

ranzo Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hi Brian,I fixed the links and they are working now.I only used FREEWARE / Shareware software so no problem about that. I also put links to the corresponding pages where I downloaded the stuff.It uses GameEx as a FrontEnd so I think that package would be a nice addition here...:-)I know that GameEx can download all these things but not everybody has an internet connection or maybe just want to set up fast their configuration and will later on do the rest ?Bye,Ränzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was cool it was nice and clean when I was done. Do you have a doc like this to get daphne running with gameex hint hint lol.

tthomas72 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Thanks,Sorry I will be a little more proactive I was just frustrated and it was the first post I read. I am going to take a break tonight lol. Thanks for all your guys hard work I appreciate it!!!Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranzo Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 Hello Lurker,Thanks for Your post ! That supports me to continue ! :-) Maybe I will extend the documentation with a new section called "Daphne configuration", but first I have again to test everything. I am just configuring Daphne and then we will see...Bye,Ränzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthomas72 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Lurker that one stings lol. Brian sorry if I sounded agitated I was a little mad last night. Ranzo it was funny because your guide was exactly how I setup my mame with a few small exceptions. The daphne I read the guide in the faq yesterday before I posted and still could not get it to work. I read about 5 or six different posts from daphne to other frontend posts also. At that point i read your post and was like man it took me a couple of hours and a reformat to get here lol wouldn't it be nice if we had a daphne one lol. I am going to figure this out Saturday maybe god willing I will have time to write a setup. I just wanted to say I am not here to just take and and not try to give. I was just frustrated last night I apologize if I came off rude. I appreciate all you guys do. I am new to this but when that wears off I am sure I will be able to start helping out. Thanks guys!!Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ränzo DeLaForcePS : Brian, can You look at the new section so that I can be sure not to forgot anything...I love the Daphne section, very through and shows good understanding of how Daphne works and how its integrated into gameex. Good job!Im not sure if I could have written it better myself, and I can assure you after writing numerous thread regarding daphne I truly understand the frustrations we have all felt when getting this emulator going.EDIT: I removed outdated manual and attached new manual to your first post.
