Install Procedures

*       Create a folder on your desktop called ‘Mame32’.

*       Place the recently downloaded Mame32 zip file into that folder.

*       Using an archive program like WinZip, extract the contents of the Mame32 zip file into the \mame32 folder.  In WinZip select Extract from the Actions menu [or press the Extract button], be sure the ‘Use folder names’ checkbox is checked.  You should now have a folder which looks like the image below.

*       Download the three freely available public domain ROMs from Mame.net.  Place these files still in their zipped forms, into the \mame32\roms folder.

*       Some early games require sampled sounds [Space Invaders, Donkey Kong, etc.] due to their sound hardware, these are available at Mame.net.  If a game requires samples it will show on the game's property tab [alt-enter]. Place your sample files as zip files into the \mame32\samples folder.

*       These are the bare-boned instructions for getting started with Mame32.  To enhance the look and feel of Mame32 with icons, screenshots, flyers, cabinets, and background art, proceed to : Art and Support Files
