Hey everyone.

I just purchased a Caanoo.

I tried some megadrive games on it with the picodrive, and they all work flawless, however I am having issues with mame.

Previously (a while ago), I had version 0.117 of the mame roms, which I then updated to version 0.143. I thought it was as simple as putting mame4all on my Caanoo and using these roms. I was wrong. I have read that the roms need to be compatible with mame4all. So I did some searching, and found clrmamepro and read that I could use this (along with the "clrmame.dat" in the mame4all download) to rebuild the roms to what mame4all is expecting, so I tried this, but most roms I try to play don't work. Even the ones on the compatibility list I seen here (http://dl.openhandhelds.org/caanoo//uploads/Home/Caanoo%20-%20Emulators/Other%20Emulators/gamelist.txt).

I then did a search for a rom set "037b16" which is compat with Wiz. But even with this, I tried to load up games like rtype, metal slug, snow bros, king of fighters, and got some errors, like things were missing, or ram was out, or whatever.

What am I missing here?
 
You should have correct roms (can not post links here). You have a PM! :D

edit: you can play mame using g-sensor and tried super hang on, it's awesome.
