I've got both MAME-X and MAME-OX on my Xbox. I've downloaded Pacman from multiple sites(website, Kazaa, newsgroup). When I try to play the game on either system, I get an error that the following files are missing.

pacman.5e
pacman.5f
82s123.7f
82s126.4a
82s126.1m
82s126.3m

Is there some special setup I have to do for MAME to get it to work???

Thanks!

! i've got the same freakin problem !

mame-X .txt file says to keep the roms in .zip format.
well, wtf?? my roms work w/mame32 on my PC fine. all the files are in the .zip file.

what's the solution to get mame-X to 'find' the files?

help!

pacman.zip doesn't contain those files. It shares them with puckman.zip - the original Japanese rom.

You need to download puckman.zip as well, then MAME should play it correctly.

See the bottom of this page for more info : http://www.mame.dk/gameinfo/pacman/

that doesn't solve my problem though.

my .zip file of mario contains all the correct files, but freakin
mame-X keeps giving me the error that all the files are missing.

don't know if this points to the problem, but when I ftp the .zip
roms into the roms directory of mame-X, the files show up
as directories. (wierd!)

Run clrmamepro to validate your roms. Whatever you're trying to do, you may need to have duplicate roms in the zip files to make them work "on their own".

i ended up using FlashFXP to upload the .zip roms and they now work

i had been using CuteFTP Pro before, since i use it alot for managing my websites.
so, some file transfer setting isn't set correctly for xbox transfer....

hmmm. at least the main problem is solved.

I found some of the files in my roms root folder and moved them into the pacman folder. These are the files I found:

82s123.7f
82s126.4a
82s126.1m
82s126.3m

I could not find pacman.5e, nor could I find pacman.5f. I found a file called 5e and one called 5f, which I renamed and placed in the pacman folder. This worked, but the pacman was Mrs Pacman, so I need those two files! I can't find them in my pacman zip, nor the puckman.zip.
