[Coco] Help with MacMAME

[Victoria Havens W9JYD]

I’m an avid MAME user and I emulate a lot of systems including the CoCo,
and sometimes the Apple Lisa and a few other old arcade cabinets and I have
a Mac (M1 2020 MacBook Air). So I’ll be glad to answer this one.

I have in `/Users/w9jyd` an `Emulation` folder sorted by system/console or
emulator and I have a `mame` (I renamed it because yknow, Terminal.app)
folder and below that, a “roms” folder. If I remember correctly, MAME will
search the current directory (folder) to see if a `../roms` folder exists
and will parse the files to make available in the “Available” tab in
MAMEUI. If not, go to “Global Settings” and then arrow to “Directories” and
then you can set the ROM directory.

Or you can edit `mame.cfg` in TextEdit to set the folder.

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
