[Coco] Using MAME

[Robert Gault]

Ken,

I have not tried v.203 but if you followed my directions below you would get for ex.:

mame coco -listmedia
SYSTEM           MEDIA NAME       (brief)    IMAGE FILE EXTENSIONS SUPPORTED
---------------- --------------------------- -------------------------------
coco             cassette         (cass)     .wav  .cas
                  printout         (prin)     .prn
                  cartridge        (cart)     .ccc  .rom
