uptown47 Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Hi there, I've got a set up using Rocketlauncher and Hyperspin and it's all working fine. I've copied the set up to another drive and so have been updating several emulators so that they run on the new drive (rom paths etc) and also have updated the HyperHQ wheel settings etc. All is well apart from MAME. When I try and launch games from Rocketlauncher on MAME - some will run fine but others just show the black "Initializing" screen and then drop out of MAME back to Rocketlauncher. Looking at the rocketlauncher.log it looks like it's trying to find my MAME bios files in the MAME/roms folder but I don't have any BIOS files in there. I'm guessing this is my issue as some games run and others don't ?? (for instance - Simpsons runs fine but Tapper doesn't ??) I'm not sure why this would change as I've only changed the drive that the folders are on but wondered if this could be the cause of my problem and (if so) does anyone know how to change the BIOS path for MAME ? A big thank you for any help you can give me.

uptown47 Posted September 3, 2018 Author Posted September 3, 2018 Thanks thcdgaf, I'll do that as soon as I'm home from work. What is that zip file? And why would I need it when all I've done is move all the folders from one drive to another? Thanks for all your help, it's appreciated
uptown47 Posted September 3, 2018 Author Posted September 3, 2018 6 hours ago, thcdgaf said: Try looking for midssio.zip place in folder where your roms are let me know if it works or not I tried midssio but to no avail but I managed to sort it although I'm not sure what the issue is. I'll detail it here in case it helps someone else sort a similar problem... What I did was open a cmd prompt and ran the game from there as per the Rocketlauncher log ("T:\HyperSpin\Emulators\MAME\mame64.exe" tappera -rompath "T:\HyperSpin_ROMS\MAME;T:\HyperSpin\Emulators\MAME\roms" -nowindow -nohlsl_enable -nogl_glsl -video d3d -artwork_crop -nouse_bezels -use_overlays -use_backdrops -nouse_cpanels -nouse_marquees -nofilter -skip_gameinfo) It said that files were missing from "tappera" (the game Tapper). I tried to open the zip file to check but the system said it was corrupt?? It was also a bigger size than my backup file (this was 154Kb as oppose to the other file being 68Kb???). So I replace the file then ran the command again... This time I had less missing files but still had a few and the text mentioned looking in "tapper" as well as "tappera".... So... I looked in the tapper zip file (which was only on my backup folder and NOT in my ROMs folder) and it had the missing files in there so I dropped it in the ROMs folder and now everything works?!??! However, all this *used* to work so has something changed with what files MAME requires from certain game zips or something?? Thanks

Thanks [emoji4] Nice to know but depends which Mame you using cli to verify roms give you an list of stuff missing use command -verifyroms in command prompt as admin as well commands found here https://docs.mamedev.org/commandline/commandline-all.htmlSent from my H710VL using Tapatalk

Tappera is a clone of Tapper so it will not run unless Tapper is in the rom folder as well (or you move the needed files like you did).Sounds like you use a "roms only" filter. I used this as well at first as it seemed to make the most sense. However, now I find it better to keep the full set and disable games I don't want to show in the wheel via the xml database. That way I can disable Puckman and Pacman will still load/run because the Puckman file is still there.Sent from my SM-A520W using Tapatalk
uptown47 Posted September 4, 2018 Author Posted September 4, 2018 ** Edit ... it's okay. I've found a brilliant tool called Hypermint made by Horsey - Hi Spawk Yes, I do use the "roms only filter" as I only have about 40 games and didn't want to have to keep manually editing the database.xml everytime I changed a few around. Is there an easy way of editing the database then to keep it synched with what roms are in your actual folder? Or do you edit your xml by hand every time you change a game? Thanks
