FAQs
------

Problem: I cannot see anything in the game lists.
Solution: Make sure that your back color is different than your font color in Options.

Problem: I downloaded and installed a ROM.  I see it in the MAME Classic installed list but it will not play or I just see the parent game in the installed list, not all of its clones.
Solution: Make sure that the ROM you downloaded has the correct files in it.  If you are using merged ROM sets, make sure to tick Use Merged ROM Sets in Options.

Problem: I get an error when MAME Classic is loading.  It won't even get to the main screen.
Solution: Each version of MAME Classic is written for a certain version of MAME  The MAME Classic web page will tell you what version of MAME you need to run the current version of MAME Classic.

Problem: I cannot seem to get certain MAME options to work.
Solution: Once again, each version of MAME Classic is written for a certain version of MAME  The MAME Classic web page will tell you what version of MAME you need to run the current version of MAME Classic.

Problem: I cannot get the cheats to work.
Solution: First, you must have the cheat.7z archive and a folder named "cheat" in your MAME directory.  Second, be sure you have the CHEATS checkbox ticked in Raster Settings, Vector Settings, or any Custom Settings you want to use the cheats with.

Problem: I make a change in the mame.ini file and then MAME Classic recreates the file and my change is gone.
Solution: Do NOT make changes to the mame.ini file.  MAME Classic does this based on the options you select in the proper Settings screen.  You can make any changes in these screens.

-Fixed a bug where the program would crash if you tried to run a verify report and you did not have any ROMs or Samples to verify.
-Split the classic folder into two separate folders.  One is called settings and the other is called reports.  When you run the program, these new folders will be created.  If you want to preserve your old settings and reports, move any existing .cfg files from your classic folder to the settings folder and move any existing .txt files from your classic folder to the reports folder.  You can then delete the classic folder.
