Title: Are there working ROMs for MAME .140 of the following games? (Not a ROM request)
Post by: MagicManPA on January 18, 2011, 11:57:38 pm
Have working ROMs of Virtua Fighter 2, Virtual On and/or Tekken 2+ been completed for MAME .140?

I am NOT requesting ROMs. Just want to know if emulation for these ROMs in .140 was ever completed.  :)

They work fine if you have a beefy enough system. If they are running slow on yours, try the model 2 emulator and zinc. They run those games on my p4 3.0ghz

I get the messages saying emulation isn't complete etc when I open the ROM then they either run like a skipping CD or not at all.

I'll try Model 2 & see if that fixes it. What I have should be the complete & working .140 ROM set, but maybe a few of the ROMs are bad.

Have you verified your roms with CLRMAME pro?

Let me know if you have any issues with the M@ and Zinc emulators.

Nope, never used CLRMAME pro.

I downloaded Model 2 emulator, but it doesn't work for me. I edited the ROm directory path in the .ini file, but that didn't change anything when I tried to load a ROM. The same list still shows up. The options etc menu options will not open either.

I can't even get Model 2 to work. Every time I try to open a ROM w/it, I get a message from windows saying it has "stopped working".

I dont think Model 2 emulator can use the 140 Roms.  You may need to find a different set for that emulator.

I have what are supposed to be model 2 roms not the .140 ROMs.

What you meant to say here was that you dumped your arcade pcb's...

I tried again last night & no games work. However, at least this time the DOS window popped up saying missing files. The Model 2 menus still don't work though. Only the load roms option does. If I click options or controller, sound etc, it does not open the menu.

Anyone have a zipped functional copy of Model 2 that could shoot over to me? I have tried a few copies of it & none work for me.

I'm about to give up & just buy a used Saturn console.  :angry:

Haven't you had several programs that simply and mysteriously don't work, or spontaneously stop responding? If that's the case you may want to check your ram or do a thorough harddrive scan. You might have something failing.

The load roms is the only option that works until a rom loads, then you can access the other options.

You should have 2 exe files, a multi core and a non-multicore, are you using the right one?

Sounds to me like you are not pointing the emulator to the roms correctly

Everything works on my desktop (New PC) except Model 2. I tried Model 2 on my MAME PC as well & still no go.

The Project 64 issue is on my MAME PC.

I have tried the multi exe & the non multi exe.
The ROM path I set in the .ini file is drive letter > model 2 folder > rom folder.
I also remove the semi-colon in front of "Dir" in the .ini file.
The load roms is the only option that works until a rom loads, then you can access the other options.

you have to update your direct x, then the model 2 emulator will work :)
