Welcome to the U.M.U. help file.

This file will ony help you get around U.M.U. For 
information about how the options affect Mame read the 
Mame Guide.

There are three screens in U.M.U. at the moment, 
the games list, the mame options and the text viewer. 

To change screen all you need to do is to click the arrows 
on the top button on the right. U.M.U. will remember any 
game you have selected and return you there when you
return to the games list.

In the top left there is a red X which when clicked will
exit from U.M.U.

Also in the top right U.M.U. shows the version of Mame 
being used.

The Game List.
--------------
This is where you can run games from.

Most of this screen is taken up by the games list which you 
can navigate around using either the mouse or the keyboard.

Here are the keys you can use:

Cursor Keys - Move Screen Up, Down, Left & Right
Home - Start Of List
End - End Of List
0..9 & A..Z - Go To That Letter
Return - Start selected game.
Escape - Exit U.M.U.

On the bottom and to the right of the games list there are 
some arrows that can be clicked by the mouse. The blue 
ones move the list slowly. The red ones move the list 
quickly.

To highlight a game just click on the one you want using the 
mouse.

There are also some buttons to the side.

To run a selected game press the yellow Run Game button.
If the game is available the screen will clear so you can
see any information given by Mame. If in the options you
have selected 'Pause After Mame' then you will have to press
a key to return to the games list screen.

The Refresh List button will take your existing games list 
and update its category, cheat and availability information. 
It will then write a new UMU.ini file including any settings 
you have changed in the options menu.

The last button on the left lets you choose between showing
all supported games, available games and missing games.

The Mame Options.
-----------------
This is where you can tell U.M.U. which options you want
Mame to use.

To the right of the screen you will see some buttons.

Load Config will load the current configuration file
resetting any changes you have made.

Save Config will save all option data and all gamelist
information.

Default Config will reset all configuration data to 
Mames defaults and save it. It won't however remove any
game lists information.

The black box at the bottom on the right just shows 
confirmation of any config loading or saving.

At the top of the main screen you will see some tabs.
As you click each tab a new set of options are displayed.

There are three types of input type.

1. A Checkbox {>Y N} which all you have to do is to click
anywhere on it to change it.

2. A TextBox in which you can type text, move the cursor
and delete text using backspace.

3. A TextSlider which if you click the arrows at the ends
will change the value displayed.

4. A Number Slider which if you click the arrows will 
increase or decrease the displayed value.

You will need to read the Mame Guide to see what each
option does.

The Text Viewer.
----------------

This allows you to read the text files supplied with 
Mame and U.M.U.

To move the display all you need to do is use the same
keys and buttons as in the games list.

The buttons on the right select which file is loaded.
