Options Menu

*       Game List Font :  Selecting this option from the options menu will change the font used for the GUI display.

*       Directories : Selecting this option from the options menu will allow for choosing a different directory for a number of Mame32 support files including: roms, samples, config, high scores, snapshots, input files, state, artwork, memory card, flyers, cabinets, marquees, and nvram.  Normally these directories are created under the Mame32 executable’s directory.

*       Default Options : Selecting this option from the options menu will allow for the global customization of all games in the game list.  These settings are overridden by altering the individual game settings using the File • Properties menu item.

*       Reset to Default : Selecting this option from the options menu will allow for resetting various parts of Mame32 to their defaults.  Mame32 will prompt before resetting, giving the option to cancel.

*       Startup Options : Selecting this option from the options menu will allow: toggling on or off the search for new games on start, toggling on or off the version mismatch feature of Mame32, toggling on or off the ability to use a gamepad to navigate the GUI, toggling on or off Mame32 broadcasting the selected game programmatically to other listening applications like message clients, or an LED message bar, and selecting a random image from the \bkground directory on startup.

*       Background Image : Selecting this option from the options menu allows the choosing of a background image from the \bkground directory.  This image will be displayed beneath the three window panes in the GUI.

*       Language : Selecting this option from the options menu allows the choosing of an externally supported *.lng file.  These files translate the internal Mame32 menu system [accessed from the tab key while playing a game] into a different language.
