Title: BEATMANIA 4TH MIX
Post by: dj_jon on November 26, 2003, 07:15:46 am

Hi

Just wondering if everybody has managed to get this working in mame 77?
I have the .rar chd files, have unzipped.
But when i use mame it goes through the ROM and RAM checks but gets stuck on the S ROM and HDD.

Any suggestions?

THanks

You have the files where they should be, check the mame faq.

beatmania takes approx 5 minutes to pass the rom checks on my machine.... be patient

apparently it has the slowest boot sequence in the history of the arcades.... someone should really work on a cheat/hack to bypass it.

But since MAME is about documenting originality, wouldn't this be against the spirit of the MAME project?

And the defender joystick hack and pacman speedup hacks aren't?

All "hacks" in mame are optional and can be turned off.  They don't effect the documentation process.
