Joyrider, thankyou very much mate, much appreciated. I did read the read me file but no instructions in terms of installing. Hopefully the next time you hear from me is to say all is fine, but please standby just in case. PS: I am in southern Afghanistan at the moment with the Army and I really need something to relieve the boredom during down time. Thanks again mate.joyrider posted on Jul 20 2006 at 10:48 AM said:you can get the latest version here : http://www.talfi.net/gp32_franxis/
as to install it, just copy the mamegp2x folder from the zip file to your sd card.
then make sure u get your hands on a 0.34 romset (new roms will most likely not work, i had a up to date romset with the pc mame version, and used the clrmame.dat file and still ended up with only 50% of the games working) and place the roms in roms subdirectory
and that's basicly it, you then start mamegp2x and you choise the game u wish to start.
Bleeg, thankyou also, this will help me no end. I was just wondering if the configuration allows diagonal firing in Robotron like the original. I mean by pressing the right and bottom keys together you fire diagonal bottom right (south east) etc etc. Being able to fire diagonal in this game is critical. I cannot find the .34 romset anywahere and want the legal set if possible. Could anyone pm me with a link? Thanks Guys.Bleeg posted on Jul 21 2006 at 03:22 AM said:Once it's dragged to your SD card it's installed. You only have to put your roms into the roms folder. Start the GP2X, select Game, then find the mamegp2x folder on your SD card. There are 3 versions of the emulator in the mamegp2x folder: mame_gp2x, mame_gp2x_compatible, and mame_gp2x_fast. I usually use the regular mame_gp2x and it works great with most games (edit: most games that I play), including Robotron.
On the settings screen I recommend using these settings:
GP2X Clock 200 MHz
Frame-Skip = 0
Video Clock 100%
Audio Clock 100%
Controller Configuration (for Robotron):
FIRE01 = BUTTON A
FIRE02 = BUTTON Y
FIRE03 = BUTTON X
FIRE04 = BUTTON B
make sure to select 'save configuration' afterwards.
The first time you run a Williams game like Robotron, you have to press Select and Start together (reset) to advance after starting up.
Good luck.
