Some arcade games just decided to quit working on their own.
-
@rbaker it has been a couple weeks since I've played it, but to the best of my knowledge I've never put any romsets in a MAME folder. I've always had them in the Arcade folder and everything worked fine.
-
@zq8-blazer That is not what I am saying. The arcade folder is a place for roms for a variety of emulators. When you select one, the run command appears and you can select the emulator that you would like to launch that rom. You can continue with this as required. If your roms were working before, you may have changed the emulator so your rom set will no longer be compatible or you do not have the correct bios files in the correct place. Neo-Geo is a prime example - what emulator are you trying? What romset are you using and have you placed the neogeo bios in there?
-
@rbaker yes the Neo•Geo BIOS is located in the Neo•Geo folder. WindJammers is working as it should.
-
@zq8-blazer I have asked this 3 times:
What emulators are you trying to launch? Which romsets are you pairing with them? -
@rbaker the Simpsons, teenage mutant ninja turtles, and ultimate MK 3. I have tried all of them with fbalpha, imame4all, mame2003, pifba. They worked fine before, but for some reason now they do not.
-
@zq8-blazer Based on your answer, I can no longer make any suggestions because you don't seem to understand what I mean by romset. Also, because you have tried the roms that you have named in 4 different emulators, it means that you don't understand or realise how mame and fba work. These emulators have a specific romset that must be used.
with clrmamepro to ensure that they are compatible with the mame emulator of your choice whichever that is. In my third post above, I suggested this link. Have you read it yet? I guess not because you are randomly trying roms in random emulators which is the route to frustration and madness. Do a search for mame roms not working on here and you'll see. -

MAME 25:17
The route to frustration and madness is beset on all sides by the practices of the impatient and the resolve of lazy men. Blessed is he, who in the name of thoroughness and good instinct, follows directions, for he will truly find his answers and conclusions to his problems.

@mediamogul..... and I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and fuuuuuuurious anger those who would attempt to corrupt and destroy my installation with false romsets. And you will know my name is MAME when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

fuuuuuuurious anger
Ha! that's got to be one of the best line readings in cinematic history.
-
@mediamogul Yes, and your ref came just at the right moment for me to vent my fuuuuurrrrryyyyy here. Couldn't help myself.

Normally I would wipe your installation...But you happened to catch me in a transitional period.
