Help Installing Mame / Games

[skaboy]

Dear all,

I'm a noob, having taken delivery of my GP2X today. Althought I've browsed through the Help forums, I can find no answer to this:

I've formatted the SD card using a card reader as the USB reported an error in XP. I've copied MAME (unzipped) to the SD and when I boot up the GP and go into the Games menu, MAME is installed.

I've unzipped Bombjack (a game) to create a load of .BIN files within a Bombjack folder and placed that within the ROMs folder in MAME. So, the directory for the Bombjack files is: mamegp2x/roms/bombjack/

When entering MAME on the GP though, it reports an error: NO FILES FOUND. Am I trying to put ROMs in the wrong place? The Readme file advises putting them in the ROMs folder, as I've done.

I'm starting to think that my GP may be at fault as a copy of Quake that I downloaded from this archive didn't work either.

Any help gratefully received.

Er why did you unzip Bombjack? Keep your mame roms zipped.

I don't know mate: I just thought I had to unzip them.

Sorted now though, thank you so much :rolleyes:

Oh yes: Selecter am the bestest

Whilst on-topic, where can I get a Megadrive emulator and Sonic ROMs?

Please read the forum rules before you ask for roms again.

You can download DrMDx from the archives here. It's an almost full speed Genesis/MD emulator, although the sound isn't very good at this point.

Try playing Flashback or Phantasy Star II on your Genesis at home. Then tell me that the sound is fine.

​

When you say it didn't work..did you remember to put the data files from your PC quake installation onto your '2x as well? It needs some files from the original game to run, which some people don't realise..

I had the same problem with Quake for the GP: which data files from the PC install should I be looking to transfer? Where on the SD card would these live: in the Quake folder?
