100% noob trying to be a geek, begging for help with Roms. Please......
-
I dont use win SCP I use flashfxp any fpt client with sftp support will work for transfaring files. For a normal ssh I use putty on windows.
-
Its working. I messed up. Watched someone do it on youtube and thought I was following the directions. Seems that they had renamed where the IP was and I didnt know that was where i needed to type the IP code. Im in.
-
So... Without getting into full blown website names and such... Any reccomendations on how to locate more roms? I dont want to cause any trouble. But Im having issues finding certain titles in .78 romset. Can get all sorts in .151, but titles such as castlevainia, (i know it may be rough with nintendo right now.) are eluding me.
-
If you are referring to Vs. Castlevainia (the arcade port) then that should be in 0.78 complete rom package.
If you are looking for Castlevainia on other systems, then you'll have to source a rom pack or individual rom for that platform.

@jakejm79
It wasn't in the romset that I have. Dunno if it was pulled recently or was never in the set I have. But I have noticed that no Nintendo games are in that set at all. I'll have to keep looking. -
No cstlevna.zip?
A quick google for "0.78 mame romset" or "lr-mame2003 romset" brings up several results, the first link being pretty helpful with multiple download options.Just to be clear you aren't searching for roms for Nintendo's home consoles, those wont be in the Mame pack.
-
@jakejm79 ahh. The Nintendo ones were what I'm searching for. That and earthworm Jim, few others.
-
You will have to google those, while there are large romsets for them, since they can be installed (and renamed) as you see fit you can also source the individual files. But you are right after recent events the Nintendo ones will be harder to find.
-
@jakejm79 any suggestion for NFL blitz? That's another one I'm having issues with. Same with the other titles?
-
Trouble finding it or running it, should be in the 0.78 romset, does need a chd file, but also doesn't run very well. You could try the playstation version of it.
-
@jakejm79 finding it. Couldn't find it in this romset. But I may of been searching for it wrong. Any way to get it to run right?
-
its called blitz.zip and there is an associated chd file.
Take a look at the lr-mame2003 section of the mame part of the wiki, it has a couple of useful things:- the lr-mame2003 compatibility list (I believe there is also a pdf of it available too, that might be easier to download and search since its a large database and the google docs spreadsheet can be slow.
- There are also a few dat files, that you can use with some other programs to take that 4000+ romset to something more reasonable by removing duplicates, porn games, etc
As a basic rule of thumb anything from mid 2000s later will struggle on the pi which includes all the games with chd files.
-
@jakejm79 don't suppose overclocking would help with that game? It's not really my style game. but it turns out it's a favorite of my brothers.
-
@ucald4amarine so... Been hearing alot about virtualmans stuff... Lots of friends who have seen what I'm building asking me about putting it on... And I don't see a downside... Opinions?
-
@ucald4amarine Its not like it runs just a little bit too slow, you'd need a major overclock which the pi isn't capable of.
-
@jakejm79 copy that. I'll just tell my brother it's not working and that's will be the end of it. If he's not thankful for what I've built him then...
-
Im Back! Got a new one for you all.
Ive been trying to finalize everything on this build. Figured out all the games and gotten them to all work correctly and everything seems great. But, issues are starting to arise. In the game menus i have the game running in the description. So far so good, but... When the game is running the audio is very off. And will make the game video glitch and jump sometimes. And randomly, the entire system will freeze and Ill have to hard reset. I dont have any ideas what info I should list on here that would be helpful. other than i used the stephen selph scraper? -
@ucald4amarine Try to switch to the hardware accelerated video player in Emulationstation. Freezing could be an indication of an inadequate power supply.
-
@mitu 2.5 amp, boost to 3.0? I was considering as I think Ill need a fan anyways.
-
@ucald4amarine I should mention that its not for everything. its random roms such as the adventures of batman and robin. Most of the rest seem to run fine. But, again, if i leave it on there too long it sometimes freezes the thing.
