Matt68061 Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 I have two pretty recent versions of MAME (167 and 174). When I attempt to launch a game (specifically all the Metal Slugs) directly in MAME I get the standard red box notification of missing CHD or parent roms. Which, I believe I have. However, when I launch any of these games directly from HyperSpin it starts no problem. I am just curious if anyone knows how and why that could be? An XML thing? Thanks! Matt
kylecp1979 Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Probably your rom path in your mame ini file if you have one.
Matt68061 Posted June 23, 2016 Author Posted June 23, 2016 Its just set to my roms folder...which is right in the mame folder. All other games play fine. Again, no big deal as they launch from the frontend...I am just trying to figure it out. Appreciate the response!
kylecp1979 Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 do you have the neo geo bios in your rom folder or in a different folder?
Matt68061 Posted June 23, 2016 Author Posted June 23, 2016 In the rom folder... again, it plays when launched from HS which I find odd.
Metalzoic Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Maybe Hyperspin is launching a different mame.exe than you are when you manually test it? MAME 167 and 174 require different files if I remember right so do you have them both in their own separate folders or are you launching them from the same folder structure? Are they both giving you the error when launching a game directly or just one of them? Which of them is Hyperspin actually pointed too?
