| MAMEUI32, GameEx, and rom lists question |
| (1/3) > >> |
| Bonecollektor:
I'm running mameui32 ver 1.46 (i think) and the latest version of GameEx. My question is, I have a TON of games (1000+) for mame but not all of them work. I'm still trying to figure out auditing and clrmamepro but, my question is this: how do i get GameEx to only show the working roms? When i run mameui32 i can filter out everything but the working roms and they all seem to play just fine but, when i update the list in GameEx it still shows a lot of the non-working roms. Other than taking the "working" list and using it to go into my roms folder and manually removing everything except the known working files. Is there an easier way??? |

Hi Bonecollektor You might have a greater number of responses to your question over on the GameEx forums, but as it happens I know a thing or two about GameEx. ;) In the Setup Wizard on the MAME Settings screen (it's actually under the Advance MAME Settings section) you'll find a field called Only Working Games. You'll want to set that to Yes. Additionally you'll find fields called Only Existing ROMs and Allow Imperfect Games. The 'Existing' setting you'll probably want to set to Yes, and the 'Imperfect' thing is up to your discretion. It probably goes without saying, but for any of the above to function properly you'll want to be sure that the version of your ROM set is a match to your version of MAME. |

Something else thats weird, i used RomCenter to check out the roms and found out that even some of the "green" working roms would fail to load. Ever seen this before? |

I also had a couple of cases were romcenter corrupted my roms... audit the non working ones with mame32ui also... |

Yeah I'm more familiar with ClrMamePro than I am with RomCenter. Does it show missing ROMs in your set? Do the non-functional games require a CHD? A driver status of working will naturally be different than "functionally working" if the ROMs themselves have issues (but again I'm not familiar with the nuances of how RomCenter presents the results of an audit). The other thing you can do in GameEx is turn on Verify ROMs. That may or may not have an impact but it's worth a shot. Also be sure you rebuild your MAME list in GameEx any time you're making changes to your MAME config through the Setup Wizard (you'll find this selection at the bottom of your MAME category list screen assuming that the selection is setup to display). |
