Talk:How to MAME - the basics

I strongly disagree with the advice not to use the MAME command line binary.

I won't revert that change, for now.

It only destription how to do, without using a FE (hince why the fact about command line). But all cabinet have one form for a FE, hince. For basic testing MAME32 IS much better, until you use it with a FE, here commandline is only.

Maybe it should do someting like How_to_MAME_-_the_advanced, how you can incompert it to use a FE (where commandline is much better here).

So for the newcomer for testing MAME, MAME32 is the better choise to test the roms or such..

I still disagree. IMO command line MAME is much easier to set up.

But we can have it both ways.

We could have a "Do you know what a command line prompt is and how to use it? If yes, click here, if no click there." type of choice and have a step-by-step process of setting up MAME32 or command line MAME.
