TravisB91 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Hey guys i recently downloaded a game pack for mame but its labeled as a "Mame 0.156 Rom Pack" i can still use this with the latest version of mame, right? it has 9000+ Roms. If i am correct in assuming this, which version of mame should i run? which is the most stable, and compatible with the newest version of Hyperspin? I purchased a premade hyperspin drive a while back and i decided that i'd rather make my own build that is customized. Right now i have newest version of Hyperspin with Super Nintendo, NES, Sega Genesis, Gameboy, etc running. Im slowly trying to add the more difficult systems. Thanks for the help, Travis
Jumpstile Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 No, it cannot - not without using a program like CLRMAMEPRO to clean up and rename the ROMs. The latest and greatest version of MAME is .163. - J* How to rebuild your MAME ROM set using CLRMAMEPRO - Walkthrough HERE!
TravisB91 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 Okay thanks for the reply. So where do you get the most complete up to date package of Roms for Mame? I heard that downloading the package from mamedev.com times out and doesn't give you the full pack.

32assassin Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 the split set make sure to also get Mame Extras: you only NEED the samples, Most of the other files are optional (they don't work with Hyperspin). given the size of the torrent I suggest you don't download them. I usually just update the samples cheat.zip hiscore.dat history.dat and Mame CHDs (the latest) Merge set. some games have roms and Hard drives you can pick and choose what games you want ( most of the CHD games found in this set do not work and will only take up space in your HD) if you want to play Killer Instinct (1 and 2) you will need the CHDs

Is Killer Instinct the only game that needs them that is not included? i would like to have Gauntlet Dark Legacy and other disc based games to work.
phulshof Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Just try the game; if it needs the chd it will tell you. Alternatively look in the chd torrent for a matching directoryname. If it exists, the game needs it. Last, but not least, you could check the MAME listxml output to see if the game has a chd.
TravisB91 Posted July 8, 2015 Author Posted July 8, 2015 Just need some clarification - Download the Rom Pack from Pleasure Mame .163 Roms (Doing this now) - Download Mame .163 - Download newest Hyperspin - Download CHD Mergeset - Where do i place this file? Where do i get the mame extras 32assassin was talking about? - On Pleasuredome they only have .162 extras

MAME EXTRAs always run a bit behind on the rest; it takes time to create the missing screen/titleshots etc. once the new MAME is released.

Alright, so i should just use the newest version of MAME Extras? (Which is 0.162 Extras) Thanks for everyone's responses and patience. I know i'm a noob but i want to be able to set up my own hyperspin drive and actually know how to use individual emulators and programs.
TravisB91 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Posted July 10, 2015 As far as media goes do you guys still use FileZilla? i remember i got a membership and password when i went premium acouple years ago
