hi everyone, i have this question about Emame. I installed Emame in my P800 and I did download the roms from the web. but when i try to start up a game and it says "missing files and press any key", what do i do? 😮 and where do i find " the folder called ROMS under Document;" at? thank u
Emame
w/ file manager i think in the c/ drive, sorry can't help you have the same problem and have asked this forum three times with no answers.
i also get the message missing files and i know i have the right roms instaled. Hope we'll get answers :cry:
still can't wait to play pacman
EMAME is produced from Mame .37b, and the current mame version is around .64... So most of the roms on the net are .64 roms (which is allmost a year -maybe more- newer than .37)
So you need older roms (for the roms that have changed - not all)
Most probably this is the reason you are getting these errors...
where do u suggest I should get .37b version of ROMs from? most of them don't work!
Get all the rom files from www.mame.dk and remember to get all the split clone set as it may contain some or part of the game rom file that you needs.
The reason why you have a missing file is because almost all the romset posted on the web site are in split rom format. Because in their PC counterpart, the emulator itself will actually combine the rom file from other clone set before running the game. So, you've to get them all and combine it yourself. In other words, get a standalone format not the split rom image. By the way the latest version for PC is MAME0.66.
thank you, bro. ii understand that, but i'm using a mac. can i do that in a macmame?
i still can't do it and i think i got the right roms #*%*#@!!!!!!!
all i need is pacman so i can show it off!!!!
mame.dk has had all the ROMS removed ages ago
You needs two files in order to get PACMAN to run. PACMAN.ZIP and PUCKMAN.ZIP as some of the file needed by PACMAN in reside in PUCKMAN. If you're lazy than just combine this two into one file and named it as PACMAN. This will solve your problem.
thank you guest 2 posts up , i thought what am i stupid 'cause i can't find them!
found them, and i can't beleive i am playing pacman, the key to it was "puckman.zip"
Good to know that you got it working. The same thing aply to all other games. Enjoy your game.

Actually all the roms are still there, they just dont advertise the fact (they do the opposite and say they dont have them).
Just sign up, log in and download.
CHTAN THE MAN! 8)
Regarding pacman, I am having problems. I have downloaded pacman.zip and puckman.zip.
The roms information gives this :
Archive status: size of archive: 12.02 kB
Uses roms from: puckman

However the files I have contain none of the above files,
Pacman.zip contains :
kinst.txt
u10-l1
u11-l1
u12-l1
u13-l1
u33-l1
u34-l1
u35-l1
u36-l1
u98-l14
Puckman.zip contains :
detatwin.txt
060_i02.rom
060_i03.rom
060_i09.rom
060_i10.rom
Actually there is something really wierd going on here, I have tried downloading the same files several times, each time I click on the link it seems to download a different zipped file, with a different filesize and containing different files.
Can someone please help, I have been struggling with this for hours.
You're having a wrong set. Try getting the correct set from the link posted above.
