Mamex & Neo-geo Problem

I -REALLY- wish people would use the search capability first, and reserve the new posts for "new" questions with some merit...

FLAME OFF!   torch.gif

You ---REALLY--- ---REALLY--- ---REALLY--- have to run the roms you download thru a ROMCHECKER like ROMCENTER.

Most roms depend upon other roms to operate. In the PC version of MAME, the software automatically grabs the roms from other zip files, when it needs them.

The Xbox CANNOT do this, so the entire set of roms for a game (or games) must be included in the single zip it is unpacking.

Romcenter and CLRMAME will generate a data file from the PC version of mame and use it to determine which roms belong to what game.

It can then "merge" or combine the roms into single, multiple or split zips. CLRMAME also permits you to add the BIOS roms (such as the NEOGEO.ZIP ones) into each and every NeoGeo game ONLY. It does all of this automatically without any tedious intervention from your part.

Download it.

Use it.

Love it.

flamethrower.gif  No you definitely deserve the flame,
flamethrower.gif  and another for the last post.

Romcenter and CLRMAME are still your friends, had you BOTHERED to search you would have turned up solutions in droves.

MameX is not able to parse your new roms properly and hanging as a result. You need to run them thru the checkers and verify them against the .61 dataset. If the CRC's are off (aka older roms for the same game, e.g. .60, etc.) MameX will die.

MameX is not "multi-zip" friendly as the PC is. If it encounters any trouble, it dies due to lack of memory, giving you misleading error messages.
