What am I doing wrong?
-
@dankcushions thank you for your reply I really don’t know how to check that they are the right Rom set version (so sorry I’m really not clever at all!)
I opened the zip file for the ps1 game and it said disk image file on it???

no problem! but rather than check the files you have, i would seek out a complete romset collection for the emulator you're using. we can't give any specific links, obviously.

are you using windows? i think by default it hides known file extensions by default - you can change that via https://www.howtogeek.com/205086/beginner-how-to-make-windows-show-file-extensions/
however, i would guess that it's a support format when you extract it, so just move the extracted files across and try, if you're feeling lucky :)

@dankcushions that’s so helpful thank you. I’m guessing a full Rom set is a few games bundled together that are suitable for the emulator?
-
@NurseAngela with MAME the full romset is essentially every game MAME supported at that time. the full set is 10GB+, depending on the MAME emulator you're using. however, the source you find may allow you to download individual games from the romset version. good luck!

@dankcushions I am using lr-mame2003 (I think as that is the one that was already loaded) so I would just search for lr-mame2003 Romset and see what it returns? I realise I am a pain, honestly if you ever need any help that is health related I promise I’ll be happy to advise you!!
-
@NurseAngela that search gives me a good result, so yes - do that :)

haha! thanks for the offer - please find attached a photo of my rash :D

@dankcushions I have found a site that has Rom sets but it has a lot of different numbers like mame 0.61 and mame 0.139 to 0.140 update pack.
Are these numbers for the version of mame I am running and if so how do I find that out please and do I need a main download and an update pack? Thank you
-
@NurseAngela please see step 2 here: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Arcade/ (second column in the table)
it also details what kind of pack you're looking for. i can't instruct on particular websites.

@dankcushions no I wouldn’t ask you to and thank you it’s really helping me and I promise no more questions (for tonight at least)
