I cant get new roms to show up in MALA - show in mamewah but...

(1/3) > >>

diverdown:
Ive tried all i know, tried all forums etc, but cant Find the KISS answer to my problem #3 of 4007

I've installed a number of new mame roms onto my cab (I've put em in mame/roms,   mame32/roms,  emulator/roms and anywhere else i can think.

Ive set rom directory in mala to point to every rom location  (1 at a time)  and run the mala games list app.  I cant get new games to show up in mala......... 
Ive set mala to point to mame.exe, mame32 etc. (1 at a time)

Still no joy
Is there a KISS (keep it simple stupid) reason I am having problems and an easy fix?


Now problem #4 of4007
I get the new roms to show in Mamewah but    when i click on some games to play they go through the normal black screen bit then i pop back into mamewah, without the game running.

I assume it's because some dont actually work.......yet they play ok in mame32. Ive again edited my mamewah ini and mame ini files to point to right directories


any ideas?

Sounds like the version of mame32 and command line windows mame is not the same.  What versions are you using?

Lutus:
Agreed, updating to the latest MALA and latest MAME got me up and running not but 5 days ago.  I had a similar problem where not all my games were showing up.

loadman:
The latest mame could fix it. What I meant was that obviously the mame32 version matches the rom set...... but the mame version 'diverdown ' is using may be different version and not match the romset.

If this is the case you can download the appropriate mame version from mame.net

Duster72:
I am having this exact same problem.

I have command line mame 109 (mame0109b) and the complete 109 rom set from [romsite name redacted].

I have double checked my rom folder setup in mala and do not have the "working games/with roms/etc" options checked.  I also went into the advanced configuration screen to double check to make sure that the rom folder was correct.

Mala picks up about 2K of the 6K games in the roms folder.  The games it does pick up play correctly.  I can load up other front ends and they show and play games that are missing in mala.


Any other suggestions?  I wondered if it was a problem with the XML file.

I followed the directions from this thread:http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=56010.0
step by step to set up mala.  Seems like it should be a simple problem.
