help with MAME

[random guy]

I just got a copy of MAME with the kof bundle, and although I have steered away from it in the past because it seemed alot more complicated than the other emus, seeing as I can run kof2k3 with antiscropic filtering on my 733MHz, I'm keen to get my other games working on it. Here are the names of the games and their files

• Garou: MOTW (Garou.zip)
  
• Metal Slug 5 Non-Decrypted (Mslug5nd.zip)
  
• Power Instinct Matrimelee (pim.zip)
  
• SNK v Capcom Plus (svcplus.zip)
  
• Waku Waku 7 (wakuwak7.zip)
  
• Samurai Showdown 5 (Samsho5.zip)
  

I have checked the zips, and all the games are either in ###- format (eg 271-p1.bin) or in XXX-format (eg pim-p1.bin). Also I have dats for all those games (I think) but I don't know if they are the MAME ones, or whatever.

Stick with Mame to run KOF2003 just because you have to. Otherwise, Shun it, hate it, never touch it. MAME blows, period. It doesn't have any features that Nebula or Kawaks do not have, you can't add external dats to it, you just have to compile your own version of it with internal drivers added, and its interface sucks too. Just get Nebula or Kawaks. Personally I like Nebula better, I have Nebula 2.23d with a loader to make it run those games. There's a kawaks loader too that's easier to find though. I have both, but personally I like Nebula, even though most like Kawaks. Anyway, once you get one of those two emus, it's just a simple matter of adding in those dat files you have with a quick copy and paste.
