Sting Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 This is good info. While on the mame/android subject What are the android mame emulator options you know of? Is it just mame4droid and retroarch or are there others. Mame roms are so confusing. What do you use to organise/clean (clrmamepro?) What's more compatible to actually launch games (not bothered about storage) merged sets or split sets or merged sets? I only have one set and have only scanned it once before giving up until I'm more experienced! All I know of is the mame4droid and the Retroarch cores, if there are anymore I'm not aware of them. I don't use anything to organise my ROMs other than the filter in the settings file set to (wheel only), I've got the full MAME 0.172 set even though there are a lot of clones and stuff that won't load, I've got a 5TB external hard drive so I've got the room. What do you mean by split sets or merged???
Sting Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Thanks sting. You are very helpful in explaining and sorting out the confusion. I have a shield tv im running it on. Should the newest set run fine Yeah, it's just hit and miss on some of the newer games in the sets, but the majority should work fine
thatman84 Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Yeah mame4droid and RA are the only ones I know. im not really up to speed on merged/slips it's very confusing. Something to do with how the clones of a parent game are organised in the .zip files. How big is your full set file Sting?

My setup is about 800GB, but I haven't got the full sets for the CD systems yet
thatman84 Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Nice, what about just the MAME 0.171 roms folder? Official Hyperspin Tutorials Playlist HS Android Overview & Install HS Android Base Pack Download My Tutorials
Sting Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Nice, what about just the MAME 0.171 roms folder? MAME folder 0.172 is 405GB and contains 33,329 files and 449 folders
thatman84 Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 Massive, think I will stick with my 90gb one for now! Think MAME will be the last system I setup Official Hyperspin Tutorials Playlist HS Android Overview & Install HS Android Base Pack Download My Tutorials
badhemi Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 I got all my artwork to run in mame4droid. They look awesome
egatimra Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 Sting!! you may be able to help....... how do I get the two play select Roms working for the 4 player games.. Classic examples are The Simpsons and The Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. They are 4players but when loaded you cant select the character, however there are Roms out there that allow you to do this so how would I use them and get them only to display within Hyperspin? This may be a new thread needed which if so that's fine I can create. but stumbled upon this thread while looking for bezel stuff :-)
thatman84 Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 You will need mame artwork zips in the artwork folder. They a little complicatd so best trying to find some pre done sets online.
