ultrastyle Setup Instructions.

MY MyRomInfo.txt is no longer included with ultrastyle. This means ultrastyle no longer works out of the box! You need to follow these steps to create the required files to get ultrastyle to run.

Filtering WILL NOT WORK out of the box. You NEED to download a file not included in this zip. Please see Step 2 for information. But not until you read step 1.

ultrastyle.zip is an all inclusive file. you can just unzip it, and put it wherever you want, in the future I may move it to an install. 
ultraconfig.exe was written in VB.NET, which requires your machine to have the .NET Framework 1.1. you can get it for free from microsoft, it's ~25MB.

Upgrading - Never overwrite an existing version with a newer version. There are only 2 files you should move from older versions to version 2.2: Other.txt, and AutoPlay.txt. These 2 files can be read in v1.7+ and do not have to be re-written. Everything else should be re-run. ****As of v2.0 Attract.txt is called AutoPlay.txt when upgrading, you only need to rename the file. See Step 7 for favorites.ini conversion. If you converted your Favorites.ini in v2.2, you MAY copy the new favorites.ini to 2.21

	Step 1. Fire up ultraconfig.exe Set all of your options on the Main options Tab. CLICK THE SAVE BUTTON IN THE LOWER RIGHT HAND CORNER. Do the same for the More options Tab. Choose a controller preset to set the initial values for controls. Then choose "Custom" to make addtional changes to those values if you like.

	Step 2. If you want to use filtering, go to www.mameworld.net/catlist and download either catver.zip or genrev.zip. catver.zip has MANY sub-categories, genrev.zip has little more then 20. Unzip this file to a folder you can find it in.
I suggest putting it in my ultrastyle\cfg folder. Please make sure to download the catlist file that is the same as the version of MAME that you are using. If you don't want to use filtering, Goto Step 4.

	Step 3. If you want to use filtering, check the filtering box on the Filter options Tab. A browse button will become enabled, along with . Click the browse button, and find your catlist file. CLICK THE SAVE BUTTON IN THE LOWER RIGHT HAND CORNER. 

	Step 4. On the Filtering options Tab, make sure the Path to MAME and MAME EXE Name are correct. Choosing whether to show or not show clones does not require filtering to be enabled. Click SAVE to save the Path information. Click the Create Button at the top right next to the #1. This will generate the Li.txt file. When that is finished, Click the #2 button, this will generate Sets.txt file. Please wait until you get a Done Creating Files! message box. This step is required.

	Step 5. Click on the Open button at the top right next to the #3. From here, You have to Run the MyRomInfo.exe. It should run fairly quickly and update you as to it's status. MyRomInfo will create 3 files the first time it's run. Mini-LI.txt is the first, Non-working.txt is the second, and MyRomInfo.txt is the third. After Mini-LI.txt is created, LI.txt will be deleted. MyRomInfo.exe looks for Mini-LI.txt if it doesn't see LI.txt and can use that to run. 

	Step 6. If you want to use Filtering, when MyRominfo is done Run CatConfig.exe

		Step 6b. You must exit and re-start ultraconfig to edit the filter information on the tweak tab.

	Step 7. If you have a favorites.ini from a former version before v2.2, now it's 
time to convert it to the new version. Please make sure that you've done Steps 1-6 before attempting Step 7. Read Converting Favorites.txt for instructions. **If you converted in v2.2, you DO NOT have to convert in 2.21, that file just needs to be copied to the /cfg directory.

	Step 8. Go to http://nplayers.arcadebelgium.be and download Nplayers.ini.
place the ini file in the NPlayers subdirectory, and your all set. **This is optional
for the player information below the cube.

You should now be able to exit ultraconfig and run ultrastyle. enjoy.

To Uninstall: ultrastyle uses the registry for booting. On the second tab in ultraconfig in the lower right hand corner, verify that the 'Add to Startup Group' Checkbox is UNCHECKED. If so, then simply delete the ultrastyle folder and it is "uninstalled"
