there's no need to rebuild anything. mame 0.78 set is trivial to obtain. what's more, it's a non-merged set so if you don't want all the clones, you can just delete them manually without breaking any of the ones you want to keep.

if it's only 400 roms you want it'll be quicker to just cut and paste those from the 0.78 set than to read our documentation ;)

@ruicunha I am assuming you are referring to MAME? And rebuilding using Clrmamepro? If so, then you dont have to rebuild a whole romset you can rebuild a smaller subset if you wish.

@ward614

Not a problem. Glad to hear it's working.

MAME ROW #79 is live!

I have said many times that Split and Merged sets are just a quirk of 1990s sneakernet technology but I will have to remember that some folks do prefer formats like that their own merits! It takes all kinds

MAME ROW #78 is now live!

Yes i use Windows, i made a batch file from it and it doesn't work. And now i try to figure out how powershell works..

@dankcushions Hey nice, updated MAME2003 from binary and it worked. Thanks!

ddonpchj

doesn't run on mame2003, so you're not using mame2003.

MAME ROW #77 is live!

Thanks! Deleting the .cfg files did it. I was dumb and left out the fact that, though it was a clean install of retropie, I coped my roms dir over from another machine. I either forgot or never new that mame2003 stored those cfg files below the roms dir.

@mitu Sorry for the delay in getting back to you and thank you for posting. Between work and being new to this, it took me a bit to get to the runcommand log (used winscp). I am positive I am using lr-mame2003, made sure to check through each step/popup and downloaded the romsets labeled as being 0.78. Checking the file, I do see where it says I am missing files and the game won't run. I thought that was weird seeing as the game worked previously the other day. (tmnt: the arcade game, (tmnt2po and tmnt couldn't get turtles in time working as its upside down), my friend owns the actual machine though it's since become a large paperweight, this pi is for him) However, I did delete and try to add the games again though usb drive (with light) and it still didn't work. I decided to try uploading the same games through winscp....and now tmnt the arcade game works again no problem. Perhaps this is a usb or card issue or something else? Not sure why it would work one minute and not the next. Here's hoping these versions work for a while. Sorry if I wasted your time.

@quicksilver Same here, when I was a kid my mom wouldn't touch video games with a 10-foot pole.

Then you'd have needed an 11-foot pole, "the thing you use to touch things that you wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole."

@AndersHP

I totally agree, this has been a great round. Let's try and have the same amount of fun this week :)

@willie1280 said in ROM version doesn’t match MAME version...whaaaaat??:

So for Black Tiger as an example. Line 380 (bktigerb) says it's parent is "blktiger". Does that mean it needs line 407 in order to run "OK" in Rpi3?

Yes exactly. You can either have both .zip files in the desired rom folder or you can merge the contents together into the one zip file (into the child zip file).

There are also other games that have a BIOS requirement that can again have the contents of which rolled into the game zip. Or for lr-fbalpha specifically the bios zip file can just reside in /home/pi/BIOS and I think you could do this with parent game zip files too in lr-fbalpha but doesn't seem neat and tidy to me.

@gtbfilms Well pretty good side information. Did you see that score? 170k ;)

MAME ROW #74 is live!

Just in case someone stumbles upon this thread while searching, I was able to fix the issue by clearing out my "Nvram" folder. Apparently it had some corrupt data in it.

@UDb23 lol, msword comes, thanks for your hard work
