G Mame

[razzy]

Just downloaded G MAME from GP32 spain (supposedly it plays 1942!) but am having difficulty with where to place the roms.

Can anybody help?

I saw this but didn't download it. Why isn't everyone downloading it?

probably because they can play the same arcade games on better emulated systems on the GP32.

That may well be the case but the fact remains that every GP32 owner would love to see MAME up & running on their beloved handheld.

Any advancement on the MAME front can only be a good thing, and I for one wholeheartedly support it.

my frogger is 16kb big, btw... anyone who can get it to work, please tell the size

Because it is too slow. The PC code is too bloated to run well on the GP32. It would require a complete re-write to be useful.

maybe he skipped the zip suppport, so you need to extract the files?

did you get it to work on the gp32 or was it on your PC?

 

[Endurion]

ok, I tried it and it worked... (only tried 1942)

I put all the files in the zip file under "gp://gpmm"
and then I made a "gp://gmame" map and put the zip rom there.

(why didn´t they put the rom map under gpmm like everyone else.... )

 

[mattmagoo]

did the screen go white with pink file names on for a long tiem

thats what mines doing

You are a genius! create a folder named gmame to go with the rest of your folders on your SMC: GPMM, GAME, GPSYS etc etc... Put your roms in there... Bingo!

P.S. my AMIDAR roms screen is flipped upside down, (usesless trivia bit) this is due to older arcade machines being displayed like this and having the image reflected onto a mirror which you see.
