Updated from Mame32.101 to Mame32b & now some games won't play
Odin:
I upgraded from Mame32.101 to Mame32b.106. It appears that I have more games in the "Available" folder now, but a lot of them don't work. When I try to load Star Wars or Tempest or Metal Slug or a variety of other games the screen flashes for a second and it goes back to Mame. So I went back to Mame32b last verified working version but still no dice on the games that were previously working in Mame32.101..
Is this a setting that I need to change or are these games just not going to work with the newer version of Mame32?
Mame32b says those games are "working" but I can't get them to load up. Any help is appreciated.
gamecreature:
Check your roms. Sometimes a rom changes (or requires the support of a missing bios or parent rom) when Mame is updated.
kiddk1:
is there a setting where you specify where the roms dir is in mame32b?
Odin:
All the ROMS are recognized by Mame32b but some just stopped playing. When I load the game the screen flashes black for a second and then it goes back to Mame. The directory structure is OK because I can see the ROMS from Mame. Either Mame32b stopped supporting some games that previous versions supported (I don't know why that would be) or I have a setting that needs to be changes somewhere (more likely). I just don't know where to start looking.
gamecreature:
Sometimes the program will assume the rom is okay when something (such as a bios) is missing. What happens when you validate?
