Metal Slug

[Domia]

Hi all,
I have the weirdest problem!
I have 2 versions of Mame running on my windows XP machine : Mame 32 and the latest dos version (0.129u5) . They both share the same roms directory where I only put 1 game "Metal Slug3", I also have the neo geo bios file in there. Mame32 runs the game fine but impossible to get it to work with the DOS version (and as you can imagine that's the one I need). The game loads to 85% then go back to DOS, I see the message "missing file or CHD blah blah blah" flickering.
I tried an older version of mame but same problem.....  any idea because I'm lost?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thx
Dominique

First, there is no current DOS mame.  The current version is commandline windows based.  Window's commandline looks like DOS did, but it isn't DOS.

Okay that out of the way, what version of mame32 do you have?  (IOW, how old is it?  This was renamed to MameUI a little while ago.)  Sometimes a rom set will change, for any of many reasons.  If either the bios rom set or the game's rom set changed between the two versions, that's why it's saying you're missing a rom file.

Check MAWS to see when each set was changed.  (Neogeo was last changed three times since 0.127.)
