Thread: MAME Can't Find ROMs

  1. MAME Can't Find ROMs

    I have mame and a handful of rom files that mame can't seem to find and I don't know why.

    I have a couple of mame games running correctly but for some reason I can't seem to get it to recognize that I've got Mars Matrix files in the folder. I even have all the files it claims it can't find. WTF is up with my mame? Will different versions of mame require different rom dumps or are there bad roms I'm getting or what?

    This. Use the audit ROMs function to check what's wrong/missing. Likely you just need to get the new ROMs, the MAME team is rearranging, renaming and updating their sets all the time.

    I tried auditing the roms but it only shows the games that it knows are already there. It finds DoDonPachi and R-Type Leo etc. just fine. But audit can't find Mars Matrix and if I manually try to load MM Mame just says it can't find anything. The files I have are labeled correctly so it should at least try to run the game right? I've gotten loads of roms that don't run correctly (i.e. Radiant Silvergun works 'till the title screen shows up then crashes).

  4. You're not unzipping your ROMs or anything stupid like that are you?

    Just for good measure I put both zipped and unzipped files in. I did however d/l a whole new up to date mame file and it can find the files except a few of them are failing checksum or some shit. So I'm getting new rom from a totally new site and will see if that works.

  6. n/m I've got it working on the new mame. So I guess this thread can fade away. Thanks for the help Frog.
