I give up... MAME sucks
Blux:
:badmood: I'm about 6 hours into messing with MAME and I cannot for the life of me get any game to run...
Can anyone point me to a guide for setting this up, using clrmamepro, or anything??
All the crap I find on the internet is outdated, or not very well explained...
Well Fed Games:
I think we are going to need more info. What version of MAME? Are you using the proper rom set? Which game in particular, give us an example. This of course is the best starting point: http://mamedev.org/devwiki/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions
I can relate though, the MAME learning curve did (and occasionally still does) kick my butt.
adder:
put simply:
whichever version of mame you are using (eg. version 0.147), you need the matching roms (so, the 0.147 rom set)
and then within the mame settings, you need to tell mame where (which folder on your hard drive) your roms are stored

I'm using MAME 147 64 Bit
Trying to play Killer Instinct 1. I have kinst.zip and the corresponding CHD
D:\MAME147\roms (kinst.zip here)\kinst (kinst.chd here)
Killer Instinct shows up in MAME, but when I try to launch it I get "One or more selected ROM or CHD files are missing" or something to that effect...
harveybirdman:
CHD's were updated in 146, you may need to update the CHD for kinst.
