1. What is "Extra M.A.M.E."?<br />
<br />
<br />
Q. - What is "Extra M.A.M.E."?<br />
A. - "Extra M.A.M.E." is a small MS Windows compatible GUI wrapper<br />
for M.A.M.E., the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator authored by Nicola<br />
Salmoria and the MAME team. M.A.M.E. let's you play thousands of<br />
old-school arcade games on your computer.<br />
<br />
<br />
Q. - What makes "Extra M.A.M.E." better than other GUI wrappers for M.A.M.E.?<br />
A. - "Extra M.A.M.E." is smaller and easier to use. It doesn't force you to <br />
fuss with difficult configurations and it's compatible with all M.A.M.E <br />
games.<br />
<br />
<br />
Q. - How do I use "Extra M.A.M.E."? What additional files do I need?<br />
A. - "Extra M.A.M.E." is easy to use, just follow these steps.<br />
<br />
1. Download the latest version of "Extra M.A.M.E." from our <br />
official site http://www.godlikedevelopers.com/ [Link]<br />
<br />
2. Download the latest version of the Windows command line binaries of <br />
M.A.M.E. from http://mamedev.org/release.html [Link]<br />

<br />

this folder as well: "C:ExtraMAME".<br />
<br />
5. Run "Extra M.A.M.E.". It displays two lists, "supported" and <br />
"available". The supported list displays the names of games that are <br />
compatible with M.A.M.E. The available list displays the names of games <br />
that are actually present on your system. After a fresh install, the <br />
available list should be empty. You'll also need to download special <br />
M.A.M.E. game files. These files are named "bios" files and "rom" files.<br />
<br />
<br />
Q. - What are these "bios" files?<br />
A. - These "bios" files enable MAME to emulate various kinds of game <br />
hardware.<br />

<br />
NEOGEO.ZIP, PGM.ZIP, CVS.ZIP, DECOCASS.ZIP and PLAYCH10.ZIP<br />

<br />
or press "Get BIOS" button in "All Another" tab of "Extra M.A.M.E.".<br />
<br />
Save these files to the "roms" sub folder of the M.A.M.E. installation <br />
directory. For example, "C:MAME
oms". Do not unpack these files. <br />
Leave them zipped.<br />

Q. - Where do I find these "ROM"-files? What are they?<br />
A. - On the internet! These "rom" files are the actual game files themselves. <br />
For example, say you want to play the game "Bad Dudes vs. Dragonninja"<br />
<br />
