I'm using the latest version of Mame 64 (0.203b). I want to use some of the
listed program paks. Does Mame use the .CCC extension for these?

Ken,

I don't know if such a site exists. However, MAME contains internal help
messages:
mame -help

(and you get)
"
Usage: mame [machine] [media] [software] [options]
        mame -showusage
        mame -showconfig
        mame -listmedia
        mame -createconfig
For usage instructions, please consult the files config.txt and
windows.txt."

The above assumes, I guess, that the two text files are included in the
mame package.

Now for a version of the Coco, you will want some subdirectories: cfg, ini,
roms, software. As for
specifics on what type of Coco and game software you want to run, you must
specify exactly what you
want and not ask such open ended questions.

There is also a MESSUI version of MAME/MESS that you might find easier to
use. Further, the version
of MAME that you download makes a BIG difference in the way it looks and
works. So tell us which
verion you intend to use.
