      @buddyscott said in MAME ROW #47:

      Does the puzzle bobble rom need additional files to load?

      The info in OP says that you need the neogeo.zip BIOS file.

          @buddyscott I had one that was only around 1MB, but the 4MB version worked. Might have been the wrong version of the ROM as well.

            @obsidianspider i checked my rom a few times yesterday. It is that im missing the neogeo.zip file. I am setting up a new image right now. It's amazing how many little things I've done to my original image that I've forgotten about. These bios files being one of them.

              My vote is for bubble bobble! The NES game was one of my favorite when i was a kid.

                @buddyscott FYI this is for puzzle bobble/bust a move which is a different game than bubble bobble. Same characters, different game.

                  @tmntturtlguy Oh I know. More of a nostalgia kinda thing for the characters. :)

                    Got in a game the other day. Really great game though I doubt I will be competitive :-)

                        @mholsson Well done. If it's your first time playing, you'll get used to it shortly. I suppose the trick is to spot how to finish a level in the shortest number of shots, and be able to pull them off.

                        I understand the basics myself, though I'm far from a proficient player in it.

                        Still, I managed to get 2.858.210, reaching round 15. I doubt I'll be able to play a lot more, but it was fun - I mostly play it 2-player.

                        Still, I'm sure others will demolish this, so have fun :)

                          @pjft I guess the time bonuses really do add to your score. I didn't get many of them and I had 1.6 million at level 20

                          Also, Level 20 is evil.

                            @lilbud Yeah, the time bonuses do add a bit, I think, and I suspect that the number of "bonus" bubbles you take away also help (i.e. the ones that are hanging from the ones you pop, and are thus removed as well). Unsure if I'm explaining it right.

                                    @lilbud Well, you've thrown down the gauntlet now.

                                    I'll have to give it one more try then :P

                                            It's the difficulty. You can change it messing with the dip switches.
