Hi I'm trying to fix a relatives hard drive they bought it from chris upchurch. The problem I'm having is I can't get the bezels trackball, spinner to work together. If I remove the .\ from the mame rocketlauncher module the trackball and spinner work fine but the bezels won't pop up. If I leave it there the bezels work but the trackball and spinner won't work. Does anyone have an idea as to where the ini folder might be pointing to in the picture?

You need to speak with him. He states he has the best support there is... Lol!

 

We can't help as, as you can see he botched everything into one folder, botched relative paths to everything and that's the good things hehe.  

 

What you need to do it tell your relative to clone the drive. Then contact whatever PayPal or credit company they purchased through that you was sent counterfeit goods... Which they have. That way they get money back, get some outdated art and wrong named Roms. 

 

If you want a template of what laws are broken, which companies are effected for the legal process it does help refunds move faster.  The credit agencies do all the passing onto the feds/authorities for you so you don't even need to get involved. 

 

Fact is that those drives are a mess and hacked beyond salvage. Even the Roms use naming conventions abandoned years ago....Hehe... So you can't even use them to build a new one :(

 

Get their money back, use a GigaPig build and use the money on HyperSync. 

 

Again if you need templates, contact information for the legal channels, who, what to write and what they need to know, just PM.

At the end of the day, it will always be infinitely simpler and less time consuming to build HS from scratch. Every single pre-configured HDD out there is a complete and utter hack job that will plague the buyer with issues. Best course of action here is to demand your money back as Austin suggested and help defame these frauds.

Thank you all. Yes I agree buying a drive will always end bad but he really wanted me to try and get it going. I had to reconfig lots of stuff most of the roms I couldn't use. I'll probably work on it a little longer I owe him he fixed my roof pretty cheap last year.

the only pre-configured systems worth anything are cabs because for the most part they stick with mame and even if it's an outdated rom set... it works
