Atari 5200 with retroarch mame core !!!

[badhemi]

create a system folder, inside that there should be a mame subfolder with hash list of systems supported by mame and then you create other subfolders with the name of the system as it appears in that list. Inside that, create a new subfolder with the same name and that is where the games should be - it is way confusing but this should do the trick. Something like this:

system/mame/hash

system/a5200/a5200/ roms, bios

I went in android/data/retroarch/ files/ it's empty

ok now I downloaded mame hash files. Then I copied over a5200 xml file to hash from rennzates upload. I went into retroarch system and created a mame file and put inside my hash folder. Then I created a5200/a5200 folders in the system folder. Inside the second a5200 folder I installed my roms and bios file. Went into retroarch and loaded mame core and loaded rom game content and it kicked back out. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

You need your ROMs in (system/a5200) and your BIOS files in (system/a5200/a5200)

[badhemi]

THANKS GUYS FINALLY GOT IT TO WORK. you guys know your $hit. Do the roms have to be in the mame system or can they be on hardrive?

[badhemi]

What would my rom path be storage/Android/data/com.retroarch/files/system/mame/roms/a5200?

[badhemi]

It won't load thru hyperspin just retroarch

[badhemi]

Figured it out Hyperspinners!!! In the settings .ini for the individual systems example (Atari 5200.ini) (GX4000.ini) Intellivision.ini) etc etc... On the rompath line don't put a forward slash (/) at the end of the line. Just got Intellivision and GX4000 running in the last five minutes

doesn't work for me!!!!

[badhemi]

Help guys. I did it your way with a5200/a5200/roms,bios and it doesn't load in retroarch. I did it as per sting and it loads in retroarch but not in hyperspin. I did system/mame/roms/a5200. Hash folder in mame and bios and roms in 5200

[badhemi]

Sorry I'm thread happy but I got both a5200 and intv going. Now I have to figure out path. I had a funky thing going on with hash files

[Sting]

You should have (system/mame/hash) (system/a5200 ***put your ROMs in here***) (system/a5200/a5200 ***put your bios in here***)

yes I got them both running just like that and I need a rom path in my ini folder

[badhemi]

I got 5200 to run in hyperspin but when I do it went to ra menu and I had to reset bios. Now when I do it changes all my bios locations for ra games. How can I save this in mame? I also had to change my parameter to mame. It was mess in the tutorial

[Sting]

Does it load without going to the retroarch menu through hyperspin??? If not post your ROM path

I have to keep resetting bios path. Introduction says attempting to load missing rom

You've got it in your mame folder, it should be in the system folder next to the mame folder

[badhemi]

You've got it in your mame folder, it should be in the system folder next to the mame folder

is that why I have to keep resetting my bios in retroarch? I can get it to run thru hyperspin this way but I'll change it. Why is my intellivision saying attempting to load missing rom but it runs thru retroarch?

You've got it in your mame folder, it should be in the system folder next to the mame folder

ok sting update. I set it up with system/mame with hash in mame and system/a5200 with roms in a5200 and system/a5200/a5200 with bios in second sub. Same with intellivision I have to keep setting bios path in ra directory to get it to run in hyperspin but when I run a game like sega cd it won't run because I have to set bios again. Why aren't the settings sticking? It a different core. The intellivision goes into a black screen and won't run but runs in retroarch. Don't know why it's set up the same

[badhemi]

It's fixed . woohoo

[Sting]

Is intv working???

[Pouteur]

Hi everybody, i try to run a5200 with your method but don't work.

Is there possible to have a clear step by step tutorial.

Thanks.

[badhemi]

Is intv working???

yes sting there both running!!!!! Just got to figure out about the controller the Damn b button is for master volune ect. Do I change core or machine input.

[badhemi]

How do you find your record fil? I recorded with holding home button and hit start but don't know where output folder is

[Sting]

Root folder under (/movies/game recordings)
