I'll also add that, once you get a working ROM set with a matching version of MAME, it is pure awesome sauce.
#Mame emulator windows 7 update#
There's really no excuse for breaking compatibility and requiring users to update their ROM collection with each new release. It's a real clusterfuck.Ĭompare that to say the iNES ROM format that worked flawlessly in 1997 and still works today. So unless you download a "complete" set for your specific version of MAME, many games might not work due to missing files as a result of cross dependencies. Just cherry picking your favorite games may appear to be broken if they depend on files contained within other ROMs. Without PUCKMAN.ZIP, Pacman will not operate correctly. For instance, if you download PACMAN.ZIP, you will find that files are missing. Worse yet, some MAME ROMs are dependent upon source data files that only exist in other MAME ROMs. Doesn't help that there's a billion different versions of MAME and when browsing the usual online ROM repositories, it's a total crapshoot as to which MAME version the file you are downloading is compiled for. Newer MAME ROMs don't work with older MAME. Older MAME ROMs don't work with newer MAME. Thanks in advance for any constructive thoughts! Or is there another emulator besides MAME that will recognize these rom files and let me play ms pac man like it was 1982 and I was 11 again? Yes, I could play the games with no sound, but why can't I play a version of MAME that works on Windows 7? "Fatal error: one or more of the required files are missing." Well, they aren't missing, the file works on the xp machine, which was only replaced as the integrated sound card stopped working. None of the other 152 roms which are complete (as they worked on XP) will work on 7. That's a two year old version of MAME and is as close to being able to play all 458 games that I could get to work. Right now I'm using MAMEUI32 0.154 (July 2014) and it recognizes 306 of the 458 roms that worked on the xp machine. None of them work, same file that worked on the old xp machine. All the vector games are the main problem.

Where did they go? Choosing to run as though my new machine is xp, that is 32 bit versus 64 in Windows 7,didn't help. Some of the games are suddenly missing files that are needed to run. All I brought over from the old computer were the rom files and none of them work till I "Audit all games" then I get more or less the same results. I find just the opposite as I have tried completely wiping everything off my computer and trying another version only to have games that worked stop working. So I'll ask for some help again now that we are back to freezing to death season and there is much time to tinker with computer things.Īccording to the main MAME website, each new version corrects problems and recognizes more and more roms.
