My first attempt was more like this:

D:\mame\Optidrv\optidrv /1
D:\mame\optimame marble -tweak -soundcard 1

: But if I put the .bat file in a folder other than the mame folder, for some reason mame would not find the roms.

: That is what lead me to the syntax of the .bat file I posted in my previous message. That one let me put the .bat file anywhere on my HD.

: Since I didn't want my main MAME folder cluttered with .bat files I went with the latter.

: But as far as the %#s instead of command line options, I still don't understand how this works. could you explain in further detail?

: I know only enough dos to run the programs I like. So I'm not sure how you get MAME to run with the right options with the syntax you posted.


: Previous message:
: How about a batch file like:

: D:\mame\Optidrv\optidrv /1
: optimame %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

: the %#s are replaced by the command line arguments that you typed.

: runmame marble -tweak -soundcard 1

: would be like typing:
: D:\mame\Optidrv\optidrv /1
: optimame marble -tweak -soundcard 1

: Any frontend that could call runmame.bat instead of mame.exe would work too.
: The only problem is only 9 parameters can be passed, and -soundcard and 1 are considered two seperate arguments.
