Okay, first off, My original Mame32 file I got was for ver. .77 or something. All the games ran fine. I recently decided to upgrade to the new .114 or whatever and found that most of the games don't work. Keeps giving me errors about game files not being found. Someone told me about ClrMamePro, so I ran that, did the rename and everything. Now - games still don't work. I got the new DAT file you're supposed to get - still doesn't work. Even simple games like 10-Yard Fight or Moon Patrol keep giving me errors about missing files. Any suggestions? Starting to wonder whether I should have even upgraded.... Secondly, when it was working, I had the problem of games playing too fast. Some searching found information about the throttle. When I changed the throttle setting in Mame32, the games flew so fast you couldn't play. When I changed it back, it was still too fast. Games like Asteroids and Pole Position are noticeably faster than the original arcade versions. Anything I can do to slow it down even more? Thanks for your help.... |

About the speed, see if you have "sync to monitor refresh" (under Option -> Default game options -> Advanced) enabled. If you do, disable it. About the roms, I don't know if I can help, I never got the hang of it. I usually download the complete new set of roms when I update mame. But I think you're missing something: Yes, clrMAME renames some roms and modify (?) others, but there are some changes that are beyond its abilities. For those you need to download the diff files (not just the DAT) with the new roms and the ones that have been modified. Then clrMAME will merge those with you existing base. |

From what I undersdtand of mame32 is that you should match the mame32 version with the roms "set" version. I can't put my .031 mame roms from april 1998 into my .100u mame32 directory and have them work. If you wanted to get a newer version of mame32 working. Try to match the rom set with the mame32 version. I hope this makes sense. I've been downloading .112 rom set of mame for a few weeks. I'm going to put thoes roms into a mame32 ver .112 directory after I have them all. I hope it all works out. You could try to find a rom burner and get the same version of mame32. |

A few MAME roms change every MAME revision. Chances are some of your .031 roms have not changed and would work with 0.100u, but most would not. |
