OoeyGUI MESS is a Python coded script to interface with MAME 0.204b +
to allow for easy launching of TI-99/2, TI-99/4, TI-99/4A, TI-99/8 and
Myarc Geneve 9640 based computers via MAME emulation.

OoeyGUI will also configure all arguments for each slot as well as arguments
for enabling the serial bridge interface via Michael Zapf's TIIMAGETOOL.

Systems:

OoeyGUI has been tested on:
Windows 10
Linux Ubunto 18.04 LTS
Linux Mint 19.1
Apple OSX 10.14

Requirements:

- MAME 204b or higher
- Windows, Linux, or OSX
- Java JRE installed
- MAME tools installed (usually included in Windows and OSX installs of MAME) but separate in Linux.
- Python 3.6+
- System ROM file for above mentioned systems.
- tiimagetool

Linux and OSX users:
may need to execute a chmod +x on the ooeygui executable file and tiimagetool.jar to grant execute permissions.


This tool will also:

- Create blank MFM hard disk images to be used with MAME/MESS emulation.
- Convert older MFM hard disk images used with MAME/MESS to the new supported format.
- Save system configuration
- Load system configuration
- Quick Load keys of F1 through F12 that are assigned as filenames fav#.xml
- Runs all processes within separate process threads, which allows for multiple systems to be ran at once.
