Williams Multigame ROM (questions/download)
spystyle:
Howdy,
Is the William's Multigame ROM emulated?
If not could someone write a driver for it?
(I have no idea if this is a tall request or not)
I'd really like to make a William's multigame cabinet (using emulation)
Dig it?

I don't think there is a driver for it, if one is written I'll add it to No Name. I'm not quite sure why someone whould want it though, just use a FE.

Because it includes a lot of the classic Williams titles in one neat package with a built-in front end. If you haven't played it somewhere, I suggest looking one up. It's really nifty.
I tried to hack in a driver really quickly using the Robotron parameters, and it didn't work:
--- Code: ---H:\mame84src>mame wmg
Error in RomModule definition: rom_512k.bin out of memory region space
Unable to initialize machine emulation
--- End code ---
And since I know very little about emulation programming, I know I won't be the one to get this to work. Here's the driver. Rename to 'zip'
TheGatesofBill:
So this is all of it? Just the two files? And do we have any more info on this beast? Its just the same hardware as Robotron?
EDIT: I like the first few bytes of rom_512K.bin, "Hey Mark... Get outta here...".
TheGatesofBill:
I did get it to load up (it did nothing though). However, doing some research it seems like the kit adds a daughterboard which would need to be emulated.
