MAME32 Upgrade...?

Question

Can someone give me step by step instructions on how to get the latest version of MAME working?

I've tried and extracted everything but can't get it to work...

Thanks :)

Answer 1

Okay you should run Mame pluss http://mameplus.emu-france.com/...
It is easy to use after you download it.
Click this link and down load to your desktop:
http://mameplus.emu-france.com/download/...
Un zip this folder into your Mame folder it will wright over the files it is changing and meld others together. After it is thru then make sure your ROMs are in zipped form in the folder named roms in the mame folder. Now in the main mame folder you should have a folder named mamepgui its a application file. Dubble click this and Mame32 will start up, it will do an audit of your roms and then you should press Ctrl+f to open up the "Filter for all games folder" Check the boxes non-working and Unavailabe. by doo this it will only show game roms you have that are playable.


NOTE:::::::::NOTE:::::::::::::...
Some games require multible Roms to work, others require CHD files the hardest to come by and Some, Bios files (I rec get all theses right off the bat from here: http://www.efmovie.com/mame.htm)... The place I'd send you to find Roms are in order for ease of acess and speed of downloading and no BUGS or nasty stuff are:::::

EDIT:at 2029
Okay you have had it working before the update?
What are you using on Windows 9x, me, xp, media, vesta, dos, linex..?
What ver of MAME did you have working?
What update are you going to?
What is it doing?

DO NOT EXTRACT THE ROMs OR ANY BIOS files JUST PLACE THEM IN THE ROMS FOLDER IN THE MAME FOLDER!!
