Hi there , I'm total novice at all this but I had mame 32 running fine on my pc , but when me and a mate tried a few frontends ( didn't get any to work )my games won't work now ? I un installed it and installed it all again a few times ( tried different versions of mame ) it does nothing when I right click and play game . When I audit all games it recognizes my roms but just won't play , not sure what we've done . I've just installed version 0.111 but thats the same . can anyone help I'm going to end up watching soaps! I know I should have left well enough alone , but the fontends looked pretty good. thanks for looking Craig. |

Your ROMs have to match your MAME version: use a ROM manager to check if they match. Clrmamepro seems to be the most popular, you can get it here: http://www.clrmame.com/ Also, it may be your mame32.ini is screwed up. I would delete it - it will get regenerated when you run Mame32 again, and hopefully you are good. Did you check out AtomicFE's plug and play modules? All you need to do is install AtomicFE, install a plug and play module, and copy your ROMs to the folder it lists. No configuration is required. Check out my link to the documentation in my signature below... |

Alternatively you can try GameEx, you simply run the Setup Wizard, select the emulators you want and it will automatically download them for you. Then just select the emulator config you want and your set. Couldn't be easier. |

Alternatively, we can try and help without pushing a particular front end... As Havok said, make sure your version of MAME matches your version of ROMs. Next, I would suggest you pick one front end that you want to get working and we can help you get it up and running. Are you getting any particular error messages or anything? |

HooPZ believe it or not I agree with you 100%. This is the first time I've come into a thread and recommended GameEx like this, but it's because I'm so sick of hearing Havok do it. This is what is happening on a regular basis here. And in most cases it's not a problem, but when Havok goes on about "Atomic is the best documented FE IMO", because he wrote the documentation for it, or it is the best because it has this feature or that feature it really starts to get stupid (especially when most FE's have the features he goes on about). Look at Mala for example, it's one of the best documented FE's out there, or even God forbid I mention GameEx, is well documented too. Who say's that Atomics Plug and Play is better than the GameEx Setup Wizard? It's all debatable but the difference is I don't come into every thread saying it is. I'm getting sick of it myself, but it's not until we get more people thinking the same way as you HooPZ, we will continue to hear propeganda from the likes of Youki and Havok. |
