Title: Xport's Mameox Is Horrific!
Post by: bigtrouble777 on August 08, 2004, 06:45:00 PM
Hopefully I got some people's attention being that my previous inquiries weren't answered.  I appreciate Xport's contributions as much as anyone, but I can't for the life of me get the latest version of mameox(or any of xport's versions) to work with my .84 romset. (I actually snagged 2 .84 romsets from 2 different locations- neither work)

My old roms(albeit an incomplete archive) worked great on the older release, but NONE of my .84 roms work now, no matter what I do.  I keep getting file not found errors.  The roms work perfectly on my pc!  They all also register perfectly in rom center.

I have my roms in 3 directories:
f:/mame/1
f:/mame/2
f:/mame/3

I also have the 128mb memory upgrade.  I'm begging for some help.  I would appreciate it sooo much if someone can throw me a bone.  I'm sure it's a bonehead error on my part.
TIA!

MAME .84 romset and latest Xport version (MAMEoX_v0.84.b2) work fine for me and my 128.

Have you deleted the old MAMEoX savefiles from the MS dashboard, also is your clock set?

I just copied across the emulator and dumped my ROMs in the directory and it all worked fine.

I suggest that you try a smaller amount of ROMs just in the \roms directory and see what happens then.

Also - the ROMs should be in the MAMEoX directory, e.g:

E/emulators/MAMEoX_v0.84.b2/roms

in my case.

First, all my 0.84 ROMS work fine.   What games are giving you missing file errors?  You might be missing the necessary BIOS zips (i.e. neogeo.zip for NeoGeo games).  It's either that or your ROMs aren't really 0.84.

you posted your other thread saying Mameox is Horrible not 15 mins before you made this one ..

as stated above for mameox not working i would make sure you've deleted the save game from the last version, also move the roms into the default rom directory and do a rom scan .. read the info file as well ..

for the record Xport's Mameox kicks ass ..

Sorry about the double post, my cable router DHCP is screwing up my DNS which caused the double post(when I first posted it said it failed.)  I just wish I caught it right when it happened.  

Anyway, I think the save game file is the issue.  Not sure where it is, but i'll find it.  Thanks for the suggestions.  Can't wait to get this working.

"Xport's Mameox Is Horrific!"
man for the record thats harsh , most peeps on this forum have not had that problem
so id say before you start talking sh*t about xports work you should look at a few things
1. it's still in beta and there is a system
xport releases a release e.g b1
then the scene helps test it and reports bugs
then xport(i love you) starts in on the bugs and works with the scene to squash them
eq. b2
and again this process repeats.

so when dumb f*cks like you who cant delete old save files have the nerve to make a statement like that to xport and to the rest of us taking the time to work on such things you need to act right before you get smacked right be0tch

wh0rd is b0nd

xport i wish you had a donations page becuase i would like to give back to you somehow, your just such a bad ass :)

It was the .ini file. that needed to be deleted.  Thanks!

tekn0, your an f'n ass.  The fact that the ini file is in E:/TDATA/4d414d45/ isn't exactly jumping out and crying to be deleted.  On top of that it's buried in the FAQ in a not-so-obvious place.

Are you kidding me? Did you even read the subject of the topic you posted?
You're the ass here, believe me.

Until one of us makes a better program, no one has any right to say MameOx is horrific.. and even then, ain't got no right to say it.

I'm sure the readme file says to delete save file and ini and as a matter of common sense if it has changed a lot (i.e. one version to another + Virtual Memory) I can't believe you kept the old one and mouthed off before reading here or asking politely.

Unfortunately people who mouth off and then do not apologise put people off of realising stuff into the scene - so at least have the decency to edit your posts and apologise.

Xport's work is simply amazing as is the rest of the stuff released - I can't believe how ungrateful you are !

This topic angers me, and I hope the moderators have the common sense to delete it ASAP.

You're not going to get help by "pretending" to diss someone's hard work.  That's just idiotic.

I suppose someone who isn't bright enough to figure out a program as well documented as MAMEoX shouldn't be expected to behave much better than this.

Actually, I don't think it could be any more obvious to anyone with even an ounce of computing knowledge. But just in case that's not you let me, quite literally, spell it out for you.

41 = A
4d = M

lol, mission accomplished.  I knew i'd take heat for criticizing the great xport but at least i got my damn question answered.  some of us don't have endless hours to play with our video game systems so I thought i'd resort to those that do.  thanks guys!


btw, I wouldn't have responded to the attacks, but wiggers just rub me the wrong way.  (and that's a figure of speech for all you 13 year olds)
