I can never get mame to work

I unzip roms to the /roms directory, but it can never find any of the files. I cant find much help in the troubleshooting help file. Any help please and thankyou

Don't unzip them.
Just place them zipped in the rom folder.

Okay how do i make it not go 1million miles per hour

Options - Default Game Options - check Throttle.

Using Mame32 ?

I'm going to jump in for a second, I also have/just got mame, and quite suck at it. I've just downloaded it, and a few R's. I'm wondering how should I approach this thing, without a weapon in hand?

Sorry, for any trouble.

No trouble...you can start by checking here:
http://www.mameworld.net/easyemu/

Ok, thanks for the link.

I've read over it, and it looks like mame32 would be a bit easier.

Hi, a small problem when I start raiden & last resort, it's states something about bios problems, do I need special bios files for mame32?

It gives me this for last resort

Guts if i was you i would get all of MAME Bios files

Guts...you need the Neo-Geo bios called neogeo.zip.
Place that in your rom folder and games will run in no time.

And just to make sure as cibomatto2002 said,it would be better to have all bioses.

Thanks Vampyr, I'll try that and let you know. I was about to state, "mame32 aleady had something listed in the bios as neogeo". But I know it's not in the roms folder.

Has anyone gotten raiden 2 to run normally, sound, saves, graphics?

Raiden II doesn't work (properly) on Mame.
If you really want to play it try Raiden Project on the PSOne.It has Raiden and Raiden II arcade versions.

I searched for a thread that could answer my question, and I think this is the one.

I downloaded Mame32 0.105u3 and a couple of ROMS.

Some of them works perfect (although the sound in every game makes a little echo, or it repeat from time to time) but this game aren't working:

That's the ones that doesn't work. The thing is,I found some BIOS while surfing, and I put them in the correct folder, but Mame doesn't recognize them.
Is there any emulator for those roms?

Thankx in advance
Dave

That's Point Blank,Marvel vs. Capcom,Street Fighter Zero 3,Street Fighter III and probably Star Wars Trilogy.

Please always check the Non-Working games in MAME by clicking it.
One thing is certain: SFIII doesn't work and won't work for a long time.

Games that are listed as working and do not work for you must be redownloaded from an updated source or use CLRMame Pro.

Click to expand...

Crap, I wanted to play SFIII T_T

Anyway, I click on the Non-Working section and there are only the games I don't downloaded yet. SWT, SFZ3 and PB doesn't seem to be around.

I also downloaded CLRMame Pro but I don't know what to do with it. Could you explain to me in a n00b way?

PD: My english sucks. Sorry about that.

Tell you what: When you download a game,first you look on MAWS to see if its emulated or not. (hint: check driver status)

After that click the Working/Non working whichever you like most to check availability.The games you chose except SFIII all work.
You just have to re-download from a better source that has them updated,because MAME changes with every release and some roms don't work in newer version even if they are perfect for older versions.

Don't ask where to get them cuz you'll get banned.With Google you should have no problem.

Don't worry about your english...
