Can Anyone Get Cyberball 2072 To Work (Mame4All)

[Bendc]

It is listed on the games list txt file but I cannot get it to work. Also Shinobi. Sorry if I'm a total newb.

 

[Mr.TwisT]

Could you please describe "how" it's not working? What error message does it give?

 

[Bendc]

It simply does not show up on the list even I know the rom is in the folder with the other games. But it works on my laptop.

 

[Mr.TwisT]

Did you unzip the ROM into the roms directory? You're not supposed to unzip it, nor rename it. The archive should have a name just like indicated in the gamelist file. For the cyberball it's "cyberbt.zip". Also, make sure that in the archive there are just files with extensions like "ROM" "BIN" or something along those lines. NOT another archive.
Please tell if that helped.

Renaming the file to what is on the list did make it show up. But now it says "required files are missing. Game cannot be run" [Sigh] I thought I had it there for a second.

There is some versions of this game. You need to put the required version with the exact name and files to work. Check this.

Check what?
I think Im giving up. I tried everything. I even dloaded another version that was named correctly and I can't get it.

Don't give up!
You need to put all these 3 zips into the roms folder:

cyberba2 "Cyberball (Version 2)"
cyberbal "Cyberball (Version 4)"
cyberb2p "Cyberball 2072 (2 player)"

If you get them running you'll have to set the 'Video Aspect' to 'Scale', let me know if this works.

Cheers, Neil

thanks for the help. I'll try this as soon as I get home from work. I have to leave now. This will be the worlds longest 10 hour shift LOL. I'll report back.

 

[Bendc]

IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH. I WOULD HAVE NEVER FIGURED THAT OUT ON MY OWN. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

No problem.
You usually need zips of all versions of the game (as they share files)

Cheers, Neil
