perhaps it isn't compatible with firmware 4.0

i wonder if mame32 would work on a mkII gp2x running firmware 4.0
yea, its weird, if you try to run mame_gp2x.gpe, you immediately get the black screen. but if you run femamegp2x.gpe, it will boot, but when you click on a game, you get the black screen/hum.

That is because femame is simply a frontend (and a fantastic one), so it's an entirely different program to mame itself. What it does is launches mame_gp2x.gpe for you.
 
Yeah this is happening to me also- I only got my f200 today and have been trying to sort it out for 7 hours.

I am trying to run the mega drive emulator- as it was one of the ones listed to work.

Everytime I try to open Sonic it goes black and hums.

I am a complete n00b to this, but I believe I have done everything correctly.

Have I got the correct rom? its a zip file and I think its in the correct directory.

Would be very gratful for some help. :eek:

Incase it helps - I'm using PicoDrive - ROMS are not zipped and all working fine...

At what stage does MAME get to on the F-200? Straight to a black screen or do you get to the ROM selection screen?
Don't worry, Slaanesh, it is now fixed... :p
