SOLVED -ROM version numbers to match emulators?

meleu

Im still a bit confused.

You shouldn't. The official MAME doc is the final word. :-) And the Floob's information is correct.

What confused you was that sentence on the wiki. I've just updated the Managing ROMs wiki page and replaced "the" by "a". :-)

you must use a MAME 0.78 ROM set with MAME2003

Hope you get it clearly now.

@dankcushions said in ROM version numbers to match emulators?:

get the ENTIRE romset for that (0.78)

The term romset is what is confusing our fellow here. I think that reference set is more accurate and works better on web search engines. ;-)

Yes!, reference set is what I need thanks....

I understand the different terminology and concepts now - Feel free to delete this thread if anyone wants to.

Oh and I found this..

"dankcushions GLOBAL MODERATOR April 28, 2016 @Meneer Jansen
@Meneer-Jansen you're going to make me link to the wiki again, aren't you? :) that answers all your questions: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Managing-ROMs

the full mame 0.78 romset is 8GB."

I wasnt that crazy thinking a romset was a bunch of games in a big file afterall ;-)

Oh and re Emulators saving ...

"dankcushions GLOBAL MODERATOR April 27, 2016
0.78 that's for mame2003. so you won't need to convert anything.

advmame i don't know much about, but mame2003 certainly saves."

Does that mean high scores? or just save states?

@gnome73 Remember the wise words from Master Yoda: Its own topic a new question deserves.

Cheers!

Why even if the answer has been posted all over the internet, and some one comes looking for help, do all these guys that are the "guru's" always have to put real [removed]' type answers? Instead of being nice about it, it's always some real jerk type of answer? If you hate all the noob or dumb questions so much where you have become jaded by it, them quit being a moderator or expert or whatever, or learn some people skills. No one likes a jerk.

BuZz

@jayram1408 Swearing / personal insults on the forum as your first post. Well done.
