can someone please explain the whole procedure to installing a zip file for mame???I installed the mame zip file to the P800 external memory (roms) and i go to the mame emulator and it does not find any roms for mame ..any help will be appreciated
MAME PROBLEM HELP!!!!!
Not sure I understand you, but you just install emame which will make a ROM folder under documents in internal and external memory.
You then place the .zip file of the ROM in the ROM folder, no need to de compress it.
When you run Emame select Game, then Scan for installed games, and a list will come up of what you have.
You must have the only the game ROMS from the game list that work with this version of Emame, a lot still dont work.
There has been disscussion before and users have given a list of ROMS that are tried and tested.
Good luck.
Just one more tip is there are many ROMS for the same or slightly different game and this version seems quite specific, make sure your ROM matches the ROM list rather than the game list

hello anybody here , when running game i get message files missing. anybody help
A zip file for MAME contains many rom files e.g. MS Pacman (mspacman.zip) has the following files in the .zip:
5e
5f
82s123.7f
82s126.1m
82s126.3m
82s126.4a
pacman.6e
pacman.6f
pacman.6h
pacman.6j
u5
u6
u7
If one of these is missing, then you'll get an error message.
Well, here we go agian ...
I just can't get it to work either! I'm so mad!
I have the Yipton emame and I've tried games that are said to be working - but no...
I got one game only to work - Ladubug - and how fun is that;-(
Please, could someone point me to my favourite game, Galaxian, and give a place to get it! Send me a private mess. if you're shy...
