Weird graphical error using Street Fighter III 3rd strike MAME

[mankin]

Hi:

I recently ran Street Fighter iii 3rd Strike through hyperspin/Rocketlauncher launching the MAME emulator and experienced a weird graphical error that hadn't existed before.

I have attached a screenshot of the graphical error I am experiencing which is basically the main character selected appearing as a bunch of pixel dots during gameplay.

I have re-downloaded the rom (sfiii.zip) and the chd but the problem remains. Yet when I try to run one of the clone roms (sfiiiu.zip) in rocketlauncher the main character selected appears fine in gameplay.

I am using MAME 0.187 with matching romset.

I do not know how to fix it.

Is there a way to tell Hyperspin/Rocketlauncher to open sfiiiu.zip instead of sfiii.zip? I tried simply renaming sfiiiu to sfiii but that didn't work.

Thanks in advance,

That's weird...

Regarding the SFIIIu ROM, you could just swap them in your XML if you like. Assuming you don't have clones disabled through HyperHQ.

Thanks for the reply griffin518, but I do have clones disabled as I didn't like seeing multiple wheels of the same game. Can you recommend an alternative method?

 

Thanks in advance.

Manually change the ROM name in your XML to be sfiiiu. Quick and easy.

Thanks griffin518. I followed your instructions and it looks normal now.

I'll try and make some time to verify the issue on my setup... very strange. I'm running MAME 0.194.
