champrt78 Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I followed some tutorials and have hyperspin , rocket launcher and mame all set-up, well mostly. I got to a point where I could try a few games. 1942 runs fine , but whenever I try any other game , street fighter 2 for example , it says fatal error missing files sf9_22b etc, etc,... Is it just a bad rom I downloaded?
hyperspidey Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Some roms need parent roms as well. If you get from emuparadise then they will show you what parent rom is required. Other then that, I have alot of issues with missing files as well. Google the missing filenames and youll probably find the additional zip files you need to include in your roms folder
rastan Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 my advise is just get a full set of mame roms.. even if you don't plan on playing every game at least you'll have all the roms you need.
Avar Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 I agree with rastan. Some roms require specific MAME builds and the ones you find individually could be from any build. The best course of action's to grab a full set of the latest release. This way you know everything is compatible and will work out of the box, so to speak.
DoomMaster Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Where can a person download this full set of roms?
SubZero Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 And remember if you get MAME 0.170 you'll need the romset 0.170
aaronwpi Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Yes. I'm looking to use the latest 0.170 mame build to get joystick support for roms, however I find that the majority of the roms that worked with my old release (circa 2008) do not work with the new build. Anyone know what is the earliest mame build to support joypads? Namely the xbox 360 controller? I'm running a dual core Windows XP laptop.
JoyStickKilla Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 pretty sure they supported joypads since the beginning of time.
gigapig Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Where can a person download this full set of roms? You can get the 0.161 set from archive.org which should be OK or if you want to be completely up to date then you need to go to pleasure dome.
rastan Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 I haven't even updated my 170 to 171... I have the update and probably will add them at some point but just a bit tired of updating mame.... I really doubt much has been added to the new set but new games that go from non working to working is always great news... the little rare games that get added to the set are normally missed anyways because I have my mame wheel set to wheels only and from what I've seen... most of those games being added this late in the game kinda suck anyways. I think the core games are already available in the mame sets going back a few mame versions but always wise to stay up to date....
