Mamegp2x Emulation

[Destructo2000]

I downloaded MameGp2x last night and haven't really gotten a chance to use it until today and half my roms don't work even though they're listed as working on the compatibility list. Is this happening to anybody else? I was wondering whether I just have but rom files or if something else is going on. Some of the roms load and have a garbled screen and others don't load at all.

You need the version 0.34 romset. Use google (rom chat not allowed here).

Well, I'm not sure what set I have just yet, however, some of my roms mysteriously stopped working:

1942, Robotron (one of my favorites), Pang, Super Pang, and Black Tiger.

What would possibly posses them to do that and how do I fix it?

were you using a different version of mame? it comes with the three. i think i don't get sound on black tiger unless i use compatibility mame.

For some reason I had the overclock set at 305 and those were the games I tried when it was set like that. My GP2X doesn't like overclocking that high so the games didn't run.

AH! Much better :lol:

If you still can't find compatible roms you can:

• Run CLRMamePro, using the included 0.34 .dat file and convert the ones you have
• Get the .torrent from some place that might have a 0.34 mame gp2x torrent
• Get roms, one at a time, from various sources.

I've got CLRMamePro but I haven't really used it. I'll have to give that a try. Thanks for all the help!

Edit: Ok, I've use CLRMamePRo, following the instructions on the wiki:

http://wiki.gp2x.org/wiki/MAME_GP2X#ClrMamePro

and it didn't work. I reloaded my non-working roms in mame and they still give me a loading failed error.

Follow TelcoLou's second hint.
