![]() ![]() I'm having similar problems with Street Fighter III and some other ROMs also. I am trying to open the game highlighted: Here are some pictures to help explain this more clearly: I also tried putting them in the roms folder as unzipped files and I still get the error. I have tryed putting both the files in one zip and was told the same error. So the right files are there yet it still says it cannot find the cap-33s-2.chd file. These are the files I have put in this roms folder: So I put them in library>application support>Mame OSX>ROMS. zip files of the rom in the roms directory. I have looked for help in other places and it tells me I need to put the. I look there and it tells me this:ĮRROR: required files are missing, the game cannot be run. Here's the problem when I try and open the game (Street Fighter III) it tells me that some of the files were missing and that I should look in the log window. I have downloaded the program MAME OSX in an effort to try and run some arcade games, a feature that I was always jealous of Windows users. #Mame os x gui mac os#Īs of now, most (all) of my MAME-ing has been with MAME OS X for (duh) Mac OS X.I am working on an IMAC Intel Core duo processor G5. It works great and I love it, just drop the unzipped ROM folder in the ROMs folder and rename some files every once in a while, but overall pretty straightforward (by MAME standards) and very reliable. I am having trouble finding ANY real information about PC frontends and would like one that operates somewhat close to MAME OS X. I tried using Kawaski or whatever its called, but I couldn't get the Neo Geo files to register no matter where I put them (lame). I know there are a few Mac users that also have extensive experience with PCs, so perhaps you can shed some light on the subject. If you want to see what MAME OS X looks like, here's a screenshot:Īs you can see, titles on the left, screenshot (if available) on the right. If a file is wrong/missing, it gives you a log of all of the "missing" files so you can rename the file accordingly (if the extension is wrong) or so you know what you need to hunt down. It turns out the normal MAME interface is OK (I thought I was using a frontend because I had downloaded both at the same time in the same directory a long time ago, blah blah blah, anyway). I can get most games to work, but The Outfoxies gives me an error as does all Neo Geo games. I know I need the bios files, but I can't figure out where/how to put them. ![]() I tried putting the zip in the general rom directory, expanding the game and files and dragging/dropping them in with the game, and it still gives me errors. How can you view the error log inside the normal MAME interface? In MAME OS X if there is an error, you just go to "view log" and it tells you what files are missing and you find or rename whatever isn't right and it works. ![]() This is really annoying since all I want to play is Neo Geo games. And to dispel any "blah blah blah buy the games!", I have just purchased a whole shit pile of SNK compilations for PS2, so I am entitled to emulate both the ROMs and the BIOS. Your rom set isn't compatible with the MAME version you are using. You will either need to download a new rom set, use a program calledĬlrmamepro to rebuild your rom set, or download the MAME version that Is compatible with your rom set.Well, I'm downloading the ROMs from the "usual places" (major ROM websites, not torrents or other haphazard sources) and they all have the same ROM files when I unzip them. Most (if not all) work first try, especially on MAME OS X, and if not, I just have to manually rename 1 or 2 files (and its very obvious which ones). However, on the PC version, there appears to be no way to find out which files you are missing, or they give you some absurd error code that makes no sense (sfx.sfix is ce54S9x or something to that effect) when using a GUI version. Which version of MAME would work readily with the "common" versions of the MAME ROMs? As long as I can configure the controls with the TAB button and scroll up and down to select the game, its quite OK with me.I downloaded mamepgui 1.3b9 and it instantly crashed. (Have board administrators considered an inter-board authentication system such as OpenID?) I'd like to let the developers know on the Mame Plus! board, but registering for more than one discussion forum in a single day is already a pain in the neck. I don't think mamepgui has a chance at acceptance from the Mac crowd because the GUI is poorly constructed compared to normal Mac human-interface guidelines. ![]()
