DOA

[KSUkid]

I've been trying for quite a while to get a DOA rom and then an emulator to run it but every time something keeps me from the goal. Right now I have mame (doesn't work for sure) and nebula which might work if I can figure out how to run it. I have the rom but it refuses to run because it can't find the rom files. It has something to do with the directory thing but I can't figure it out. If anything can someone help me with using nebula?

In the Nebula Model 2 emulator directory, you will see EMULATOR.INI. Open it in Notepad. Then you'll see

;Add your rom directories here (max 10)

;ROMS subdirectory in the same folder than the exe is always scanned when searching for roms

;(remove the ; form Dir1)

[RomDirs]

;Dir1=c:\Model2\roms

 

Just do what it says. So if your ROM is in D:\Model2roms then enter this just below what I quoted above:

Dir1=D:\Model2roms

 

Hope it all works out for you.

[KSUkid]

It didn't

 

I'll quote mine

;Add your rom directories here (max 10)

;ROMS subdirectory in the same folder than the exe is always scanned when searching for roms

;(remove the ; form Dir1)

[RomDirs]

Dir1=C:\MAME\nebula

 

then I went to load game and doa and it said it couldn't find any of the files, all 35

Try putting that ROM in the Model 2 emulator directory and see what happens.

[KSUkid]

still unable to load

 

;Add your rom directories here (max 10)

;ROMS subdirectory in the same folder than the exe is always scanned when searching for roms

;(remove the ; form Dir1)

[RomDirs]

Dir1=c:\Model2\roms

seems right to me

are there any other emulators to run doa?

[Gryph]

MAME does but you'll need a powerful computer to run it.

 

http://caesar.logiqx.com/html/games/doa.shtml will tell you all the emulators it works with. The site isn't working now but it should soon.

[KSUkid]

thanks for all your help I hope I can get this to work eventually

Not soo fast.

 

It can be played in Nebula Model 2 emulator.

Try to do it from the begining:

 

Unzip the folder m2emulator

 

Enter the folder [m2emulator]

Create a new folder called [roms]

Put the rom inside it.

Then Start the emulator --> Load rom

Choose [Dead or Alive (Model 2B)]

 

If it didn't work then make sure that you have:

doa.zip 29MB and this one---> doab.zip 334kb

It won't work without doab.zip

Dead or Alive ++ not only looks better but runs better than it's Model2 counterpart.

[King_krm]

I forgot to say that DOA is working in Nebula Model 2 emulator but

it is very slow.
