I Need Help Getting Mame Running

[keith007]

Im using a gp2x
It says Im using firmware 4.0.2
I have a 4GB SDHC micro card with adaptor.
I tried using Mame4all and mame gp2x 5.1 with no success.
As soon as I run any runable file all I get is a black screen.

Can anyone give me a few tips.

Thanks

Make sure you are using MAME4ALL, it's the updated version of MAME GP2x.
Also, your ROM set needs to be 0.37b5, not the latest set (currently at version 0.136) which is many years beyond 0.37b5.

Oh what I meant by running any file I mean I cant even run the Mame program.
I thought I was using the correct version of MAME4ALL.
Well, is there any particular folder the files must be put in?

Ill try again soon.
Thanks

How can I get that old set of the Roms?

Did you make sure that you got the version for the gp2x and not the gp32? I noticed you are posting this in the gp32 section, so you may not realize there are 2 different machines which aren't compatible with each other.
