clockwork alone Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 i can't figure out how to work roms in MAMe.....can someone please send me a tutorial or tell me how to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Where are you having trouble? Can you not get anything at all to work? Is it giving any error messages? What games are you trying to get to work? Can you atleast get the PONG game that is included (is it still included?) to work? Here's what you need: 1.) A MAME build that you like. 2.) BIOS for the system you wish to emulate. Don't ask where to find it here. Place it in the "roms" directory or set the BIOS directory to wherever they are stored. 3.) Place the ROM files in the "roms" folder. Please don't ask where to download those either. The ROM sets have to be supported by MAME or else they will not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elazul Yagami Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 yeah, we can't help you without knowing which build you're using. some of the builds require extra dll files and such, and some of them might be misconfigured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gryph Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Right click on the game and go to properties. There should be a controller or input device tab. Make sure it's set to keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
