<p class="x_MsoNormal">I am trying to get MAME to talk to simh in order to use MAME as a VT terminal emulator. However, I am failing to get the two to talk to each other. I have been using simh for over 10 years, but I only picked up MAME two days ago.</p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">I have tried MAME v 0.222 on Windows 10 and MAME v 0.208 on Debian 10.1. Both start up successfully, but I have trouble using them. I also have a set of 13 ROMs for several VT terminals.</p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">The latter page looks like it should be just what I am looking for, but it describes using a VT240 ROM. My vt240 ROM doesn't work. My vt220 ROM does work, but when I follow the instructions to 'press F3 to enter setup', nothing happens.</p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">I have also got the impression that some of the command line options for mame have changed over time, so some older information on the web may no longer be accurate.</p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">So, has anyone got this combination to work? If so, can they send me exact instructions on how to do it please. I hope that I am simply failing to do something that will become obvious with hindsight.</p>
