![]() The leftover 5% I repaired individually manually, and now I am running every title in a 230 ROM collection from within MacMAME 0.103 (the highest version for OSX Jaguar), MAME OS X 0.124 & MAME OS X 0.135. Down to 10% ROMs needing help, i found that half again the bad ROMs were easy to fix by just replacing that one NeoGeo bios file. Typically the ROMs needing to be renamed are 8 chr clones of 8 chr parents, especially when the 8 chr results ended up being out of alphabetical order, and its new 9 chr name puts them in order. v0.124 had restricted filenames to 8 chr, v0.135 introduced allowing 9 or more chr. I found that half the bad ROM files only needed renaming. I did each one manually myself, and the nice result was my one ROM library can be used in both apps 0.124 and 0.103 - next when I moved from 0.124 to 0.135 an additional 20% of my ROMs needed updating, including the entire NeoGeo series. When I moved from old MacMAME 0.103 into this MAME OS X 0.124 around 10% of my ROMs collection needed updating. Tedious, but I'm a child of the 70s and simply must have my commercial imagery and pretty colors. I'm making my own hillbilly-tech front-end for MESS Atari 2600 by setting up an artwork file that has separate views for each game that include the box cover and the cartridge image. It's the equivalent of a doll house for grown men. I even made a couple of models of pizzas to have sitting on the tables. I'm running MAME, MisfitMAME, Atari 2600 (MESS and Z24), Sega Genesis (MESS), Nintendo Entertainment System (MESS), Commodore 64 (WinVICE), Playstation (epsxe), laserdisc (Daphne), pinball machines (via 3 versions of Virtual PinMAME and Future Pinball), DOS (DOSBox), and regular Windows games out of it with no problems. in information systems to set it up, but it's worth it if you take the time and have a system that can run it. By far, the hardest part was getting music and music video playlists to happen on the "projector screen" models, but it was worth it in the end for a true virtual arcade experience. It is designed to work with monitors arcade machines, television, and monitors computer. It differs from MAME is that you can run on Linux and Mac OS X, as well as DOS and Microsoft Windows. I can't get it to save cabinet positions no matter what (not sure if this is a Windows 7 bug or not), but I learned how to edit the files manually and got the desired results. ADVANCE MAME: AdvanceMAME is a derivation of MAME, which is an emulator of games arcade. I haven't found an emulator it won't run, given some extensive tweaking. It's a bear to configure, but for my purposes it blows GameEx away. ![]() If you just want a quick and dirty list of your MAME games and a display of their screen shots and history, MAMEUI32/64 is a good one.įor my part, I exclusively use 3D Arcade. Which front-end is the best will depend on what you want out of it. ![]() ![]() The only reason I'm even able to type this is that my computer is a Macintosh and I rebooted from my OS X partition. I tried the displays control panel, but there didn't seem to be any option that would control this. I can't find anything in MAMEUI that would control this, nor can I figure out where in Windows XP I would go to adjust this. It stayed that way even after I restarted the computer! In other words, I'd have to rotate my screen counter clockwise and set it on its side in order to be able to use it! Somehow, while the game was crashing and I was exiting out of it, MAMEUI decided to configure my screen in portrait, rather than landscape mode. I was playing Buggy Challenge, and the game really started to mess up, so I hit the escape key several times to get out of it. Unfortunately, MAMEUI has now caused me a big problem, and I need more help! First, go to OPTIONS | DIRECTORIES and verify that the path is set to the correct ROMS directory location. ![]()
