some games don't work....
hi chaps,
there are many games i have that do not work, even though others have submitted and using the same MAME as myself.
for example, "bucaner", a pac man clone, will not work for me. it tells me "required files are missing".
which files? TAR got it to work, ok. any clues TAR?
cheers!

Re: some games don't work....
I'm pretty sure "required files are missing" means that you romset is incorrect or out of date, or you're missing the BIOS.

Hi Barry,
cheers for that.
that was something else i was gonna ask.
the only "extra" file i ever used was the "neo geo" one. i've never used a bios file, nor a chd.
fyi, the bucaner rom i used is the latest, from Oct 29, 2012.
cheers buddy.

Re: some games don't work....
Buccaneer wouldn't require a BIOS, but it may have a color (or other) PROM recently added that's now required.
Re: some games don't work....
cheers.
i now hope TAR responds. as he got it working.
thank you!

Re: some games don't work....
The smaller ROMs appear to be the same as those used in puckman, so you'll need puckman.zip also if you are missing those ones.

Re: some games don't work....
And remember that if the ROMs are in a zipfile, the filename is irrelevant, it will load them by CRC.

Re: some games don't work....
whoa! steady, boys!!!!
never seen all that data before.
heres a screen dump of my bucaner folder:
nope, MARP won't allow it.
"The extension bmp is not allowed."
the "bucaner" files are...
1.6e
2.6f
3.6h
4.6j
5.6k
6.6m
7.6n
8.6p
9.5e
10.5f
11.5h
12.5j
puckman files are:
pm1_prg1.6e
pm1_prg2.6k
pm1_prg5.6h
pm1_prg6.6n
that is all!!
puckman works fine for me, as do all the other clones. just not bucaner....
don't know if this helps you.
cheers gents!
kernzy.

Re: some games don't work....
ok, my "pacman" rom has the necessary files (4 files), but i cannot copy them to the bucaner folder....

Re: some games don't work....
Ok, the filenames for buccaneer don't match, but this is only an issue if the ROMs are not zipped.
You'll want the all the puckman ROMs in puckman.zip (this is the parent set, MAME will check here for ROMs if not found in bucaner.zip), and what you have for bucaner should be in bucaner.zip.
If the ROMs are not zipped, then the filenames must match.

Re: some games don't work....
ooh yeah Barry!!!!!
i could not do what you said. so instead, i renamed my "pacman" zip to "puckman", as puckman had only 4 files, but pacman had ALL the files, hangly man, ghostmuncher, etc. worked 1st time!!!
thank you both very much indeed!!!
how did you learn all that stuff?
too much!!!
cheers!!
