Battlezone Arcade rom Not working

keithk2581

Hi guys tried searching all over but couldn't find the answer I'm looking for.

Have tried to get this game working multiple times with no luck, Using advancemame and advmame 1.4. Tried multiple roms with no luck.

rom names tried:
bzone.zip 14kb
bzone-2.zip 15kb
bzonea.zip 2kb

not asking for the roms/or where to get them. Just wondering if there is a specific file size/rom name i should be looking for.

@keithk2581 This is a common mistake when starting with Arcade emulation - you need the ROM from the set that matches your emulator, not the other way around (i.e. match the emulator to the ROM).

Take a moment to read the Arcade Quick Start page to which ROMset you need to use on the emulator. AdvanceMame uses the 0.106 MAME ROMset, so you need a valid ROMset with that version. More detailed about emulator versions and their ROMset : https://retropie.org.uk/docs/MAME/.

thanks! I actually just came across one that works finally, although it was by trial and error lol. Still new to this and learning every day. Thanks for all of your assistance and help, it is most appreciated!

I recommend to use the artwork for Battle Zone as far as it is running now.
There are only two games where i use those, and Battle Zone is one of them, makes this great game look even better (the other one is asteroids btw),

@keithk2581 I realize this is an old thread but how did you get Battlezone to work? I’ve tried different Mame versions and multiple BZone files and it never loads. I’ve been using RetroPie for a few years now, have read the links, etc....I actively use 2 different MAME versions on my RPi and all my arcade games run under one or the other. I guess loading it is the major issue but I’m also wondering what you do for controls since the arcade version use 2 tank style sticks.

Short answer: both analogue sticks of a control device that offers two of them 😉

@dankcushions When I try to write a new post it tells me I don’t have at least 1 tag so I can’t write it. I haven’t found a way to add a tag yet.

Look again - it's right under the post area.
