MAME not working.

In addition to ensuring you have a MAME.xml database file in \databases\MAME\ folder, you also may have additional filters enabled in the MAME.ini.    If you have the filters enabled (roms, wheels, themes) but have no files, you'll see no games listed in the wheel.

If you can pick one game, let's focus on that first.

Post parts of your .ini showing rompath, romext, filters, and exe/param lines.

Is text listed in wheel showing game names? If not, dbase may be corrupt.

What are filenames of related game media?

What is full path and name of the rom?

Which emulator are you using for game boy?

Which MAME emulator are you using? MAME Reloaded?  Retroarch?

Is the wheel working on PC but not on Android?

 

Common issues can be mixed up naming between wheel name is 'main menu' dbase, media folder, and rom name path as it relates to filtering by roms.

Mamereloaded works well IF you have u139.1 romset and they are .zip files (it does not support .7z)

Retroarch MAME core is GIT so would be 169 roms?  

MAME2014 core (broken on nightly builds atm) :-( uses ~v159 rom set (and does support .7z)

MAME2003 core is ~v78.

Sorry for not replying sooner Ok i had a play about for a while and still cant get hyperspin to find MAME what so ever. my roms are in zip file but havent moved them over yet as i will be deleting some systems what i wont be using on my tab for more space.iv got all artwork/video my only thought is that my mame is categorised sport/fighting/racing/ect but i do have a exe file with all my roms names in with that and same with video content but i allso have all my vids single in with the video folder so dont think that would make a difference. Ill have another play about with it in the morning when i get chance and go through what iv got
