Bam, loads the game in Bigbox without issue. In Launchbox, I added a new emulator, pointed it to the advmame EXE and added the necessary arguments. Now, I'm hunting for the reason why the rom will only work in Advanced MAME. I downloaded this onto my Windows machine and tried one of the roms that was failing everywhere else. It turns out it I was using Advanced MAME instead. I went back to RetroPie and looked over the configs and emulators it was using. MameUI64 showed that I had missing files when I audited the roms (it varied from rom to rom). I tried Retroarch for Windows, no love there either. I had tried using MAME for Windows from the command line, no good. I've moved on to Windows and Bigbox, but could not get many games to load from the same rom set. I have a rom set that works just fine on the RP3 using RetroPie. I've been struggling with this exact same issue for the past several hours. It appears to list every emulated console & computer imaginable EXCEPT MAME/Arcade.If I open the interface up in full screen, it completely blocks the fucking game lists & there's no way to drag/resize the window.the only thing I managed to figure out was to go to avaliable, which shows EVERY MAME rom out there, and doing the only visible "audit" option scans EVERY single MAME rom in existence, the majority which I'm reminded are "not found" (NO SHIT!)Īlso, going to try the qsound & some of the bios files that I know are missing.and yep a few are most likely CHD issues too.I have the CHDs for all games that need them, but they are OLD versions from couple years back OK thx for the link, I installed MAMEUI64 (setting the audit option in MAME64 still didn't cause audit game to come up as a right click option).and it is a confusing mess. The game Birdie King 3 is a mystery as this game uses no Bios or Device and has no clones, so this should work ok. Killer Instinct uses a CHD so maybe this is missing, or else the parent is missing and you've kept a clone instead. The game Afterburner doesn't use any Bios or Device, but it's a clone of Afterburner II, so maybe the parent is missing. The game Astrochase uses the Max-A-Flex Bios (maxaflex.zip) and you may be missing this. If I understand correctly you grabbed a full MAME 185 romset and then reduced it to the games you want and discarded the rest.įrom a quick glance it looks like you may have multiple issues.Ī number of your listed games use the QSound device (qsound.zip) and maybe this is missing. Positive it was a full set of roms, not updates.I deleted all my old roms too OK thanks I'll have to try auditing them when I have time This is done for overall file size and bandwidth reasons. You would need to use a tool like clrmamepro to combine the update rom pack into your old rom set. The update game.zip file would only contain the updated 2.zip. Then an update for game.zip came out with an updated 2.rom file they don't put all 4. Update packs only contain updated rom files within the actual rom zip file.įor example if you looked inside game.zip you would see a bunch of files such as If it was an update pack and you just copied them into your Mame roms folder then I got some bad news for you. I should ask though, did you download a full set or an update pack ? Right click and there should be an "audit" option in the menu, click that and it should say if the rom is ok or if there is a problem with a missing file and what file it is expecting to find that file in.īios files for Mame go right in the folder with all your Mame roms. Yeah if using the UI version of Mame open it up and find the game you are having troubles with. &was there just a folder to put bios files in & it would be a matter of me finding ones I need & placing them in there to get certain games to work? Sorry I used to know this stuff a LONG time ago, but bad memory haha & it was MAME64 I'm pretty sure, so running an audit in that should tell me reasons for roms not working? If there is a problem it will tell you in the command prompt window what it is looking for and cannot find. If using the command line version open up a command window and go to your Mame folder and type in:Īs an example, just replace sf2 to the name of the zip file for the rom you are having trouble with. If you want to check what could be causing the issue of a game not loading you can audit the rom if using the UI version of Mame. You didn't say which version of Mame you are using. It only becomes a Launchbox configuration issue if no games are loading at all.īut since you mentioned Capcom games like Street Fighter there was a change in Mame 186 where you need an updated Qsound.zip bios file. More often than not if you are having troubles with certain games not working in Mame it is a missing parent or bios file.
