Need help with Mame

[ki0]

Only certain games are working for Mame0128b. I'm trying to get Metal Slug 5, Garou and Samurai Showdown to work. I have a Neogeo bios, but they still aren't working.

Thanks in advance

Make sure your game rom is the correct version for the mame version. They have to match. You may want to get a rom checker like cmpro or Romcenter.

Also bear in mind that the neo stuff has had a number of updates recently. If you can't find an up to date source for your roms try going back to around v0.125 of Mame and try them with that. There are currently loads of changes going on with the mame code and a lot of stuff is broken/bugged. Best to stick with an older build for the next version or 2 until they've finished all the modifications and rewrites.

You can get older versions of mame from the main mame site or older versions of MameUI (mame32) from www.joymonkey.com

i didn`t wanted to open new topic so i`ll ask my question here...

i`ve downloaded MAME Plus! 0.123 and i also have problems with starting some games, only several games are in "available" list on the emulator. i`ve read that i should check with "cmpro or Romcenter" but can you tell me how to do that or maybe suggest some version of MAMEemullator that can make most of the games playable!?

Thanks in advance

Lots of mame roms have been updated over the years, so it really depends how old the roms are at the site you are sourcing them from.

If you right click a game from the gamelist and hit audit it will check the rom. If it reports files missing then you know your rom is out of date (or too up to date if you're using an older version of Mame) for the version of mame you are using.

The audit will actually specify which files within the rom are missing, you can also use resources like the MAWS database to check what files your rom should have and then you can try to find a site hosting those roms.

i was asking about those roms that cannot be found by the emulator it self. i cannot see the actual game (rom) what is missing from it if i can`t see it in the game list. I`ve downloaded some roms and when i set the directory for the emulator to list them there are any of those games i downloaded them...

anyway...
HUGE THANKS

Of course "nothing changed". It just shows you what you're missing and makes it a lot easier to fill the gaps...
