Would some kind soul help me set up Galaga
-
@mediamogul I was unzipping them, so that is that explained, but now it is saying missing files on all the version of galaga, is it a case of writting them down, manually finding them and then unzipping then rezipping them, is there anywhere which has a version of galaga that works straight away, other games are now working now that they are not zipped, so just need galaga that works with one of the eumlators on here now, thanks for the pick up Mediamogul
-
@Garryjones I got a version to work, it says there are known problems with this game and its not 100percent accurate on the loading screen, is that the best version out there? thanks for your help on here, I am now playing galaga as I remember it, cheers
-
See the links above regarding correct romsets (which is why you were getting missing files). You found a working version it seems, but in general you need to match up the correct version with the mame emulator you are using.
-
@Garryjones Which version did you get to work?
-
@wscol It was the rom from "MAME 2003 Reference Set" update 2, the galaga in that one seems to work well, thanks for everyones help on here
cheers -
@Garryjones said in Would some kind soul help me set up Galaga:
the galaga in that one seems to work well,
The main thing to remember is always use the right rom set for the right arcade emulator. The key here was using the 'galaga.zip' from the MAME 2003 reference set with the MAME 2003 emulator.
-
@Garryjones I am using a Linux VM with Linux Mint 18 with Retropie 4.02. I downloaded the Mame 2003 Reference Set update 2 and loaded all the galaga roms from them. None of them seem to work so I rebuilded them through clrmamepro and retried. Still none of them work.
Here is the runncommand.log for galaga.zip

@wscol your issue isn't mame-related, but GL/shader related, it looks like. presumably no games work.
i imagine it's to do with your setup:
I am using a Linux VM with Linux Mint 18 with Retropie 4.02
-
The only game that works is a port of Duke Nukem 3D. So how do I fix the issue with the shader.

start a new thread.. i wouldn't know where to start. it's not to do with galalga or mame, in any case.

@wscol please format your post or put the log on an external site as detailed in the link in my signature. [edit] I have formatted your post for you.
-
@BuZz Thanks for formatting my post. I was able to get Galaga to work on Linux Mint by disabling the proprietory video driver. However I do not have any sound. I will do a seperate post for the sound issue.
