There are two configuration lines and further instructions in the text file. set gamename ; do not use .zip set mameargs ; example "window" Exceptions: MAMEcons are not a game-manager replacement. The best use for MAMEcons are for a shortcut to a few favorite games. Participation: MAMEcons is an open project. To make your own, use your favorite window/screen grabber to make a PNG image of the game-screen. Reduce the size of the image (1/3 or 1/2 usually works), and rename the picture from FILE.png to FILE.info. Using an editor, open an existing MAMEcon and change the $VER: line, the gamename, and the arguements. Save as the new FILE, where FILE is the same as the icon name. This readme may be included, and changed as necissary for any new MAMEcons. As a minimum, Change the "Short:, "Uploader," and "Author" above. Optionally, bump the "Pack:" number, and include a description (such as 002 Atari, 003 Capcom). A Name list may be included. Do not attach the rom files themselves.
