Mame roms not showing up in Maximus Arcade
coloneljp:
In MA for MAME, all of my roms show up, but they won't play because it says they are missing certain files within the zipped rom. I've tried about everything I can think of to solve it with no luck- HELP!?!

that message means what it says your missing files. that is mame telling you that not MA. depending on the version of mame depends on the roms you need. have to make sure the roms match the mame version your using. good program for that is clrmamepro or romcenter. it will make a file from mame.exe to use to compare the roms too to see what files are missing

I know this is years later and i probably won't get a response, but i am having the same problem. Mame plays all games just fine but maximus arcade is leaving out a random handful. I've tried everything but this. .ini thing.
Is that a maximus arcade issue or Mame? How do i try this route?

That was very helpful thank you.
Oh no wait....it was super unhelpful. I know maximus is dead. It looks the way i want it too and isnt all crazy newaged with garbage everywhere looking overly graphic. I want simple graphics and easy for guests to understand wether 20 or 90.
These new ones have circulat scrolling menus and all kinds of things that make them hard for yonger kids or older adults to process.
Retro gaming is dead too....but here i am utilizing it on a daily basis with maximus arcade....like so many others....it has this one issue that makes a few games not play....i can live with it i was just hoping someone knew an easy fix. Btw....other front ends have loads of issues, compatibility issues, comprehension issues etc. I live maximus because i KNOW it won't be getting updated and changed every 5 seconds. I can't keep up with this computer crap. Im not tech savvy and maximus makes it easy. It stays the same. Like my old games.
