Create Mame 1Click Games for them(Actually 2 clicks)
The Text below can be copied into notepad and saved as !Space Invaders.bat in your Mame/ directory
This wasn't my idea but I think its a great idea.
I'm don't know it all, but I try to show you what I know, so you can duplicate the outcome.
maybe there is a better way, but this is how I do it.
You can easily copy the .bat file & just change the name to create a new 1Click game, drag the copy into notepad
& edit it from there
mame64228.exe sicv.zip -view0 "Screen 0 Standard" -snapview "Screen 0 Standard"
This would be for a console .bat
mame64228.exe a2600 -cart stampede -view0 "Screen 0 Standard" -snapview "Screen 0 Standard"
The ! in !Space Invaders.bat is to keep them all together in a row when looking at them with file manager
