Pages: 1 VHSer MAME Fan Reged: 01/27/11 Posts: 65 Send PM Missing Files #323053 - 03/09/14 05:46 AM Reply I have several games that won't work. They work just fine in MAMEUI64, but not regular MAME. It keeps telling me that I am missing one or several CHD or ROM files. I don't know why it would work in MAMEUI64 but not MAME. They're the same files. I don't want to have to go all over the place trying rom after rom just to find one that will work. joey35car MAME Fan Reged: 02/07/07 Posts: 1095 Loc: Planet Claire Send PM Re: Missing Files [Re: VHSer] #323054 - 03/09/14 05:51 AM Reply Use this program to rebuild your roms.

I don't understand them. It wants me to load a dat file. I found one from a few years ago, but I don't see any way to load it. At least, not the way the guide you posted says. It says to press the Add Dat button. There isn't any button like that. I don't know what I'm doing. I tried reading the instructions, but they didn't make any sense. I rebuilt something, but the games still do not work.

I rebuilt something, but the games still do not work. You don't need a "dat" file. Using this guide, go to "Using The Profiler" and jump to "Setting up an "EXE" file".

That's the problem. I want to use regular MAME because I can make it look like an old screen. But I have a handful of games that will work on MAMEUI64 but not on regular MAME. joey35car MAME Fan Reged: 02/07/07 Posts: 1095 Loc: Planet Claire Send PM Re: Missing Files [Re: VHSer] #323067 - 03/09/14 07:30 AM Reply If you're talking about HLSL it is available in MAMEUI also. You have to have a set of roms that match what version mame you are using. If using MAME152 then you need MAME152 roms for it.

But now, there are several games that won't work in it. They keep asking for something called qsound.bin. I got qsound.bin and put it in the rom folder, but the games still won't run. They will on the previous version of MAMEUI that I have. But I want the HLSL effects that the newer version has. joey35car MAME Fan Reged: 02/07/07 Posts: 1095 Loc: Planet Claire Send PM Re: Missing Files [Re: VHSer] #323074 - 03/09/14 08:14 AM Reply You need to find the newest qsound rom.

He probably needs to read the FAQ http://mamedev.org/devwiki/index.php?tit...ave_the_ROMs.3F The different exe's that work/don't work with the roms he has are going to have been built from different versions of the source, even if he thinks they are from the same.

You don't. If you want to have clrmame rebuild your ROMs, all you do is point it at your mame executable. For MAME, .dat files are only needed when scanning screenshots, flyers, artwork etc. .. If you have ROMs that work in one mame but not the other, then that's because you have two different versions of mame, say .139 and .106.

You need to find a site with updated ROM sets. Or, go to google and try searching for one of the ROMs that you're missing. Sometimes when you find one ROM that you're missing, you'll find the complete set. And please don't say that you've tried doing this because (hint hint) the process works fine for me.

The obvious suggestion would be to get them from somewhere where they aren't missing files. That is assuming you're not getting caught out by not getting the bios or parent sets. A standard mistake is to see different revisions of the same game and one zip is 10mb and the other is 1mb & deciding that downloading the smaller one is better. It's hard for us to reverse engineer why you are having problems, we know how to do what it is you're trying to do. But we don't know what it is you're doing wrong.

See the specific information that I posted. This is how to get it: Let's say your mame executable is named mame64 and you want to know what are the required roms for Killer Instinct - with rom name kinst.zip. You'd do this from a Windows command prompt opened in your MAME folder: mame64 kinst -listroms This will show you a list of all the files required to run Killer Instinct. Exactly like the ones I posted. You still have to find them though. It's not MAME's fault that you can't find the ROMs. S VHSer MAME Fan Reged: 01/27/11 Posts: 65 Send PM Re: Missing Files [Re: Smitdogg] #323151 - 03/10/14 09:32 PM Reply Or I could just get some help since it's obvious clrmame doesn't work for me....

Right click the game and click Audit. It will tell you exactly which files you are missing. And then once you find those missing files, you can go back to using the commandline MAME if you dislike the UI version. Try using MAMEUIFX, it's my favorite MAME derivative. If you'd rather try a front end, try QMC2. Once you get used to MAME and are comfortable with it, then you can try fancy, eye candy front ends like Hyper Spin, Emuloader, GameEX. You should do some research for which derivative or frontend that suites your best needs... compare and contrast them and choose whatever tickles your pickle. But for a beginner like yourself, I'd definitely recommend you not using the official commandline MAME because you aren't knowledgeable enough yet to configure it. If you use MAMEUIFX or MAMEUI, it's easier for you to understand and figure out how to configure it.

Huh. Because I have the newest version of MAME, 0.152, and it isn't command line. I had to find a program called Romcenter to get it to tell me what files I was missing. I was able to get all the games I wanted to work working. Except for Pole Position, but I've never really like that one anyway.

When I start MAME, a menu sort of like the menus that come up when you're fiddling with a game while it's open appears with a list of some of the games you have.

That is the command line version of MAME you're running, the menu appears because you started it without specifying a game.

In fairness, CMP is actually more complicated to configure (at least in terms of getting a minimal do-the-right-thing setup) than MAME itself. Most apps have a learning curve, CMP has a learning 90 degree angle ;-) Anonymous Unregistered Send PM Re: Missing Files [Re: Sune] #323266 - 03/12/14 08:45 PM Reply > It's not MAME's fault that you can't find the ROMs. Of course it is & he should demand a refund.

It's asking where to get missing files that's against the rules. Asking how to find out which files you're missing or why files would be missing is allowed AFAICT.

Asking how to find > out which files you're missing or why files would be missing is allowed AFAICT. I've got to say, when I was new to MAME and had a lot of the same questions, mame.dk, I believe, was a godsend. Then, I spent the time to look at and understand the source code so I could see exactly what was needed, and even be able to customize the software to my desires. While I had my brief moments of stupid questions and whatnot, I don;t think I pissed off the devs too much. When you spend time to do some research and do some reading before you start posting questions, the devs and members here are incredibly curteous and helpful. It's saddening how so many people these days refuse to spend time to research and learn about what they are doing and just demand to have their hands held the entire time. God I don't miss the CPS2/CPS3 days. LOL. -------------------------------------------------- I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile. I will only complicate you.

Clrmamepro will show you what is missing. I promise that. W11 Home 64-bit + Nobara OS / AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT / AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core 3.59 GHz / RAM 64 GB Pages: 1
