Mame Games That Dont Work For Me...

[PostmanPat]

Well today i finished downloading that 0.034 romset fromt that torrent place(can't tell you where so don't ask) and i decided to try some of the games, so i put on lode runner, joust,donkey kong, bubble bobble, pac man , defender and double dragon and the only ones that worked where donkey kong, double dragon and lode runner.

So what i want to know is?
1. Why arnt these games working form me? (If anyone knows)
2. Do they work for you?
3. If its because of firmware 1.4 can i go back to 1.2 if i have already applied the .gpu

The version of MAME i am using is 1.5 and the firmware i am running is 1.4 but i doubt that the firmware is the problem, because i tried some of those games before on 1.2 and they still did not work.

You could do one of 3 things:

1. Try to find a different version of the roms
2. Run them thru ClrMamePro
3. Look for the complete roset on bittorrent

Well i already have that set from BT, and I put them through clrmamepro and I get like 50 things back and i only put in 7 and as for diffrent versions there were not many in there but the ones that did still did not work...

Did you try them out before you ran them thru ClrMamePro? They all worked fine for me .. It's a set made for 0.34, so you don't need to convert them ...

I haven't tried all those games you list, but I play pacman all the time and it works fine. I would think you should be set with the roms from the torrent, so I'm not sure what to tell you about that.

Double Dragon works for you though? It always takes forever to load for me then I just give up.

Try the bootleg version of Double Dragon, the original romset doesn't work for me.

​

... beat me to it :lol: Yeah, the bootleg version works.

 

[PostmanPat]

Yeah the first attempt was without using ClrMamePro.....so im guessing i am screwed...and i really wanted to play BubbleBobble and Joust.

 

[TelcoLou]

When you say 'they don't work', what exactly happens?

• Do the roms show up in the list?
• Does the emu start loading the files contained in the .zip?
• Does it hang after loading?

 

[PostmanPat]

K well i got them working by deleting my mame folder and reinstalling it... so i am happy and what would happen is some games would not load at all and freeze my 2x and some would display screwed up color and fill up the screen with 0s and then nothing would happen and i know its normal for some games to do that because digdug does teh 0 thing and then works perfectly...

Thanks for the help everyone.

edit: You can delete this topic if you want now.

You just admitted to pirating over one thousand games . Or what is probally millions in copyright infringement .

And everyone is cool with that ??

Um, looking at your sig makes me want to call you something ...

It rhymes with "Tipocrite" <_<

 

[thelamer]

Just trying to get a feel for what is cool and not cool on these forums .

Cool. Admitting you pirate is one thing, but its a no-no to offer/link roms.

(Where else would we get our games? No everyone has several jamma boards and dumping tools at their disposal )

How do you know i am not gonna delete them in 24 hours? or that i own every machine EVER? Plus i am not then only one that does this and there are way way bigger fish to fry for the people that police these things, and they mainly go after sites anyway, and lets say that they did come after me i doubt that they would charge me anywhere near a 6 or 7 digit figure and it would be more like a thousand. And i could always say you said you would rape me if i didn't download them.

Edit: this post was not supposed to be serious and is now made less serious

Chill ... this debate is old and unresolvable, and is wayyyy offtopic

Glad you worked it out ... GP2X MAME is one of the best things for this amazing system ... I play it at least a couple of times a day.

I reccomend Aerofighters 2 ... you need to OC to about 250mhz for it to be smooth, video & audio clock 100%, FS0 ...

 

[PostmanPat]

haha that post wasnt meant to sound serious sorry...any one very last question how long should it take for bubble bobble to load up? because i hear the choppy sounds and one white line on the left side of the screen but i wait and nothing...AeroFighters eh?...will give it a try

I seem to remember on GP32 you needed to use the bootleg version of Bubble Bobble too, to get it working. Is it the same on GP2x?

​

Yeah, you need to use the bootleg version called Bobble Bobble. The original doesn't work.

 

[naples39]

Try the bootleg version of Double Dragon, the original romset doesn't work for me.

​

Thanks. I should've thought of that
