New and in need!

Hi guys, i have been using good ole mame and kawaks for quite a while and have never been arsed with getting games that are not "allowed" to be played on them for example SVC and SSV but now i am and i have dl'd them so i wont be a noob and ask "WHA R DEEZ ROMZ?!?!?"

 

All i'm asking for is the basic i need and what to do to get them playing on my Kawaks as i have the loader already but know fudge all about how 2 do it all.

 

Thanx in advance if i get some help!

Seeing as you already have a Loader, you are almost at home base. There should be a file called ASR.DAT in the Kawaks folder (NEOGEO.DAT for Nebula in romdata folder). This file holds the DATs for all games supported by Kawaks. The DAT specifies what set to look for, what files are in it, how big they are, individual CRC values and and other info. Open this file in Notepad to see what it contains.

 

I suggest that you take a look at the pinned "List of all the Dat Files" topic. Copy/paste a DAT file from that thread into your own ASR.DAT and save the file. If the filenames, CRCs or other crucual info found in the DATs doesn't match the set you have, you can easily change the necessary things by hand.

 

If all went well, when you fire up Kawaks Loader and rescan your romsets, with any luck the new game(s) which DATs you put in ASR.DAT show up in the games list.

Thanx for all that dude, sounds like what i thought it would be and should be pretty easy 2 do.
