@awsd12 in the FBA set street fighter 3 3rd strike is called sfiii3.zip - put that in your fba folder and you're good to go!

with mame, if you downloaded the full reference set I told you to, you can just put any of the game zips in that in the mame-libretro folder and they will work. if you look on the wiki page the 'compatibility lists' show the file name and the full name for each game.

awsd12

Ekstreme

I've been following this thread and biting my tongue, but surely you're taking the piss now?

@Ekstreme

Taking the piss ? I am actually serious. I do read the wiki's and ask about things I don't understand or ask for a direct link.

but I dont know where the files go

I cannot then accept that you have read the instructions. For cave story, they state:

Create a folder called CaveStory in

/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/

Add all of the game files into the CaveStory folder- particularly Doukotsu.exe into

/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/CaveStory

I am actually serious. I do read the wiki's

No, I am not believing it due to the questions being asked. I'm starting to think along the lines of @Ekstreme

@rbaker

If it comes across that way my bad, I don't think I am getting the right Cavestory Files so aint going to bother about it. However when I press Tab on my keyboard to edit in game settings such exit back to in game main menu, it doesn't show up I can press select and start to exit the game but it doesnt take me back to the main charcter or game menu ( I m only playing SF3 atm

Why not? You simply download the game that was originally freeware back then. You then locate the patch and run it on the .exe file. You then drag the patched Doukutsu to the folder you made (all according to the wiki instructions) together with the other files that come with the game and when you go to Ports and choose Cave Stoy, it loads up and runs perfectly in English. What did you do to have it not work?

This is a feature of MAME, not FBA.

Well, if you are truly making an effort, could you please help us out? You too can contribute to this project by going back to the wiki pages you tried to understand earlier, and see if you can clarify what is written there. It is only with feedback from beginning users like you, that we can improve the documentation.

Even if you can just point out those parts you think are unclear, and how they should be improved, that would be a help.

This way, everyone benefits, especially new users!

@Zigurana

Sure, didn't know I could edit others wiki or forums thought only admins could, but sure from now on if there is something I have tried and haven't understand I'll link it and suggest edits that could be made :)

I need some help. I keep trying to post a new topic, but it says "Not enough tags. Topics must have at least one (1) tag." I have typed in a topic, long or short and it keeps saying it. (Sorry for hijacking this thread, but I couldn't post anywhere... heck I don't even know if this will work lol)

Never mind... I figured it out after a couple hours lol.
