Title: Need help with mgalaxy
Post by: RUP on September 29, 2011, 08:14:34 am
Hi Guys, I'm a newbie to the MAME cab build and I need some help with mgalaxy.  I chose this frontend because it was a very simple setup to get my feet wet.  Anyway, could someone tell me why some of my roms won't load?  Most will but I'm having trouble with a few.  Any and all help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Which games don't load?

Do they work if you run them outside of mgalaxy?

Berzerk, Joust, Robotron, just to name a few...It's hit or miss really.  They do work outside of mgalaxy in MAME 32, Do I need a new rom set?  I'm running MAME v138 with the mgalaxy frontend.

The last version of Mame32 was v106.  The fact that you're using v138 in mgalaxy explains why those roms aren't working.  Updating those romsets to v138 should help, but it might save you a lot of time and trouble to just reconfigure mgalaxy to use the MAME32 executable rather than the v138 one.  I've never used mgalaxy before, but I'd imagine this is easy to do.
