Mame & Gngeo Sharing Rom Folder

[rooster]

Is there an easy way to get MAME and GnGeo to share the same ROM folder?
I don't know how to do this and I don't like duplicating geo roms as some are obviously quite big!

thanks,

I believe Rage2x lets you set 2 rom paths for gngeo, if so just set one of them to the mame roms folder.

It is not possible because the MAME and GnGeo romsets are different. MAME ones are old romsets (MAME 0.34) and GnGeo are current romsets (newest MAME romsets).

Some of the roms do run in both though (the smaller ones, I've found).

Just put the ones that you've tested to run in both into your MAME folder, and point Rage2X's second path towards that folder.
