Nibbler for Mame 0145?
« on: March 18, 2012, 05:30:42 pm »
Anyone provide some tips how to get Nibbler working on the latest version of Mame.
I've tried a variety of nibbler romsets including one from a site that specifically says it is for 0145.
Can't seem to get one that fires up.

I have a real Nibbler PCB with v9 software where it regenerates the dots after dying above wave 32.
version 6, the one they marathon, doesn't recreate all the dots on a maze after dying above wave 32.

I'd really like to find both nibbler rom sets if possible, too.

thanks in advance.

They work for me...but you need to rename them. At some point, they switched the ROM file names to "nibbler6" (ver 6) "nibblero" (olympia), "nibbler8" (ver 8) and "nibbler" (ver 9, parent set). I usually just have one ROM directory that I point all versions too (except for one version I have for ROMident, and if I'm just testing stuff), so I just made copies of each ROM file with both the older names and newer names.

OK, I got closer. Had Rick C send me a set for 0145.
came with nibblero for olympia
nibbler which is version 9.
both of these launch but olympia is super fast.

came with a nibblera and nibblerb.  both of them show up in mame but won't launch. no errors. just won't launch.
i've tried renaming both of them to nibbler6 and nibbler8 but they won't show up in mame when renamed.

thank you.

Maybe do an "audit all games" and see if it works after that....
