Most Roms Not Working

<< < (5/6) > >>

loadman:
Is the path to your roms folder right in mame.ini?

brophog:
Also check that you're running the correct versions. atetris only contains those two files, but it was recently changed. Either mame isn't finding the roms or they are incorrect.

I think so as i have not changed it from standard, will check when i get home.

Ok, now this is wierd too...
trying it out on works computer, i have just a few roms (not the new ones i have at home).....
Some roms work in Mala that i cannot get to run on the command prompt.

Getting confused now

To get mame to work in the command prompt, is this all i need to do..

Extract mame to a folder (c:\mame)
Put roms in the roms folder
enter command prompt

withe the settings shown below mame is looking for the roms in a subdirectory calles 'roms' withing the folder you have mame eg
mame is in (c:\mame)
roms are in (c:\mame\roms)

### Windows path and directory options ###
rompath                 roms

That makes no sense whatsoever. Are you pointing MaLa to the same version of mame and/or same roms you are accessing from the command prompt?

well got round one problem...maybe you can tell me why this doesn't work:

C:\>emulators\mame\mame 88games

But this does work:

C:\>cd emulators\mame
C:\emulators\mame>mame 88games


New to all this!

So i will try again at home with the new roms and see how i get on in the command prompt.

Thanks again
