Great. But i wonder what games i should play? Most of the good games i know are Neogeo and iam using gngeo for them... May could somebody recommend some good non-neogeo games

Quality, I remember playing Sly Spy on holiday in Ibiza when I was 7.


Anyone got eswat running on it (eswatbl rom)?

you are joking, there are a thousand games: try Strider, Street Fighter II, Ghouls'n Ghosts, Ghosts'n Goblins, Bionic Commando, Shinobi, Golden Axe, Paperboy, Klax, Phoenix, Tetris (Atari), ...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Gyruss, Rastan, Galaga, Pac Man, Double Dragon, Aero Fighters, Toki...

Find a site (google one) which shows screenshots of all the MAME games (and other platforms too), you then know which games you want to play. You can then hunt down sites that have them. There are many, many good games on the emulation scene to play, from the (literally) thousands of ROMS available across all platforms.

Does Capcoms Trojan work in this update?

 

[Jumpman]

Does Capcoms Trojan work in this update?

Trojan works in the last several builds.You just need to play with the settings a bit.If I remember correctly you need to up the video clock% to 100,and maybe the audio to.I don't remember for sure but I have got it to run very well by adjusting some settings.If you can't get it to run,just let me know and I'll let you know what the exact settings are.

Good Luck,
Jumpman

Thanks for the tip jumpman :lol:

 

[Goemon4]

hmmm, mabey i should finally give mame a try (ive actually never used it!) do any of the newer arcade ish games work on it? (like tekken or anything?)

 

[chaos engineer]

Would it be possible to optimize the default settings for each game individually.

Of course, this would require a major effort, but I guess there are many people on this site who would help Franxis. Forum posts like, "for Trojan you have to set the video clock to 100%" would become history.

 

[Godmil]

I love how fast these updates are coming Thanks Franxis.

I was just curious, does anyone know if Mame supports 3 or 4 players. I'm dreaming of getting some 4player arcade action going once the cased BOB comes out.

As far as I know, a resounding YES!!

I too, can't wait for the B.O.B. ... oh, sweet portable mame

 

[krosfyah]

Awesome, I love it when new games become playable.

 

[J201605]

Though I understand that gngeo is great and its full speed, how well do neo geo games like metal slug 2 run on this, because if there any good than eventualy rather than having mame and gngeo, i could just have all my games in mame though my guess is they dont run very well. Also many games that are supposed to be supported do not run when I try to play them, this applies to newer games only... I guess theres something with renaming files or something that can be used to make the games work but i dont know where to find an easy guide for this. Could someone direct me to a guide

I have made a torrent pack with all romset updated until 3.3
If someone is interested can send me a private message and i will give him/her the torrent.
The pack weight 1.04 GB
My bandwith is very low but i have it open 24 hours.

I hope not to break any rule of the forum.

 

[DaveC]

Cool thanks for the update.

I still get the sound bug though. When switching games the sound will go out after awhile. Then if you try to exit then it will show two garbled images of the MAME menu and lock up.

@ Slaanesh, Thanks for the DKjr sample fix. There is one little bug though. When you land and get the "thump" sound you will get 2-4 1 second long static sounds afterwards even if you stop moving.

I wouldn't post about it at all here. If people want it, it wont be hard for them to find it.

 

[snoopyk]

Can you add snapshot function in some of next releases of this great emulator, please?

I think that with the frontend Femame you can do that right now.
