Well, I guess I should add some intelligent comment as well.....:D
First of all, I would like to repeat my comment about the emulator and the ROMs: since the emulator cannot produce error messages about missing and/or invalid filenames, it simply blanks out for a sec, then returns to the main menu. This means that the ROM you are using is wrong. Plain and simple. Either a file is missing, or a filename is incorrect and/or has incorrect CRC. Simple as that. The 0.95 version uses the ROMs from before the 0.67 version, so you might want to look up ROMs in the format used back then (about 3 months ago)......
As for the help/guru/attitude issue: I dont have any (issues or illusions of grandeur :D ). I simply share my info and experience, so others can benefit, or use it as they see fit. The fact that I sometimes have to repeat myself 4-5 times within a week or so does get on my nerves, but I still try to explain/help once again ;)
If you saw appropriate to "use" my help as a tool to vent some anger-built steam, thats fine. Just dont expect me to NOT return the "favor"...
Also, I had NO problem whatsoever saying that I had a problem with MegaMAME. Its a memory thing, and after some tinkering, everyone got it working. Granted, you may not be able to run all of the 1000 games or so, but I'm 100.001% sure that you can get all 60 games of MAMECE (apart from clones) to work like a charm ;)
