Hi all

OK so Im new to Hyperspin

I bought a HDD with everything pre-loaded

Everything seems to work ok, except for any thing MAME related

It goes into the MAME menu and lists all the games, but when I click on a game, a small box appears in the centre of the screen saying

MAME error - MAME error

 

Anything glaringly obvious?

 

The HDD came just with the hyperspin stuff on, so I installed Windows XP on there and SP3.4 and .Net3.5 and Java

 

HELP!

Sorry, but it's really hard for anyone to help you with a pre-built setup. There's no way for us to know how far out-of-date you programs are, what programs you even run, versions, rom sets etc... Your best bet is to contact the seller for help.

Or do what I did (I also started with a pre configed drive). After looking into it the stuff I had was so out of date that it was easier and faster to wipe it out, and set it up from scratch using the guides and videos found here. I have not one file left over from my pre-configured drive. Sucks to hear, but you'll probably waste far less time and end up with a much, much better setup going that route.

Good luck.

Thanks Metalzoic will probably do as you suggest

 

Marxkemp "here we go again" didn't help at all - what was the point of your post?

The point being is a few us dont like drive sellers because of your problem. Sorry i didnt point that out to you. Usually these topics get overwhelmed witd hdd seller hatred, but even that didnt happen :) good luck!
