A little help Mame 0.106

[Disco Devil]

So i have got it working, but i am a little confused as to why i am getting the Oops error on every rom i have 'fixed' using Rom Center & the 0.106.dat (they are all displaying as green in Rom Center)


Anyone know what i am doing wrong here..?


Thanks.

Sometimes if the resolution ends up being too big you will get that. For example running Pacman at 2x = ( 224x288) x 2 = 448x576, which is taller than the Pandora (840x480) can display.


The postage stamp size works though. Other than that list the games you're having problems with.

OK, thanks..


I guess it's off limits for me then until we have some more resolution/aspect options (optimistic i know, but what the hell) as my eyesight isn't that great (yes even with glasses) and i have to run at least 2x to have a hope of being able to play anything, i struggle with any emulator, app or game that doesn't use the Pandora's full screen real estate (Scumm, SORR etc, etc).. and as a full screen scaling/stretching option (the Pandora's full 800 x 480 NOT what the emulator or game deems to be fullscreen) doesn't seem to be that high on the to do list of most devs/porters.. i'm screwed here (again!) c'est la vie.

Can i just add a fresh noobie comment to this post, i dont have any problems with any other emulators or games but mame and neo geo really seem to trip me up, mainly becasue am thick. I have followed the thread in the tips,tricks and tweeks about the mame tutorial for mame4all and the thread and i have followed starlix's tutorial on mame 0.106 and correct rom conversion. however i can not get either to work. here are my logs of what i am doing incorrectly. ( Also my roms where configured using the romcenter and the MAME v0.106.dat file)


Can anyone enligthen me on what chool boy error i have made? Thank you
