Homebrew Mame2003+ Compatibility list

[Tetsuo Shima]

Ok, I managed to update the compatibility list with all the latest @RunningSnakes results (thanks again my friend)
Up 'till now there is a total of 745 games on 14 cores!
I decided to create a .xls file (use MS Excel or Libre/Open Office to open it) which is much more comfortable to read than simple text. Is it okay for you @Wiimpathy ?
Now each core is on a separate sheet, and there's even an "index" sheet, so that people can easily look for their games and see which core is supporting them.
Games now have 3 values for STATUS: Working, Not working, and Issues.

Download link is in the OP.

Those lists are really, really useful and saves some frustration when you can't get a game working, at least you can now check if other users could load it and fix the romset on your side. Great work!

 

[Tetsuo Shima]

Glad you appreciate @niuus.
thanks to @mastershoes and @RunningSnakes we already have a huge number of games covered

Maybe some of the not working games could be working with the alt cores introduced in Runningsnake's tests, I did not re-test them.

@Tetsuo Shima ...I updated the Mame2003plus - Compatibility list.xls with Core E & Core E2 update. Thank you for this, makes it much easier to keep things simple and organized. When you get a chance please check Index and Core to make sure I inserted lines correctly. I started working on finishing Core B, so i'll update the .xls file again in a few days when completed. Good Day

Checked the file and it's ok. Thanks again!
I updated the link in the OP.

Edit: Magical cat adventure and Mug smashers are working in core G2. We can now play these terrible games List updated.

Thanks..
Which rom for wii do you recommend?
Because the one I have does not work for me, it gives me a black screen and returns me to retroarch ...

 

[Tetsuo Shima]

There is a VC arcade wad too, but only for Japan. You had to patch it to have english menus.
But there's no need to install this wad anymore, 'cause it runs perfect with Wiimpathy's core A

Tested roms are from the Full Non-Merged MAME_2003-Plus set.

We cannot give link to romsites here on gbatemp. But if you search for this set you cannot go wrong.

Ok, thanks for the information, as soon as possible I will prove it ...

Thanks for the list

I've finished Core B and have not ran into any games that have issues & run better on Core B2. So at this point, I believe it is moot to add a Core B2 with no improvement in compatibility. Core D, F, G are still not completely tested & ill move the unverified list below. Please note again, I believe 95% or better of these games "DO" work, but not have been verified by other users & some are surely to have minor to major issues. As for the updated Compatibility of Core B, There were roughly 65 new WORKING games added & 40 ISSUES games added. @Tetsuo Shima ... I think this is good to update to OP, but please double check my edit. Thanks

@RunningSnakes Thanks for your continuous work! OP link updated
Yes I agree, core B2 seems unnecessary at this point and there's no need to add it.

 

[John Player]

Can anyone please confirm if Gauntlet games are working?

Yes, both Gauntlet & Gauntlet II are working with no issues on Core F. Both WWF Superstars & WWF Wrestlefest on Core F are running great also.

 

[JuanMena]

I just want to be able to play Night Slashers, Altered Beast and some more beat-em-ups.

 

[JuanMena]

Is there a way to know what other roms might work with these extra cores?
For instance... if I get a rom that's not on the compatibility list, and it could work with one... is there a way to know it it will?
Or is a hit-miss thing?

I see that some people has troubles with:
Snow Bros 2
Splatterhouse
TMNT
TMNT2
Captain America and the Avengers
Xmen

when I can play those in MameWii pretty normally.

 

[Tetsuo Shima]

@JuanMena What problems? They all work perfectly with zero issues in mame 2003+, as you can see in the compatibility list.
I'm actually playing them regularly.

After you download Wiimpathy's mame cores, open the file compat.zip in the archive.
Inside you'll find txt files for each core with the list of supported roms.

Edit: Remember, only use roms from the Full Non-Merged MAME_2003-Plus set.

Hi! Yes... yesterday I wanted to fill up my 16GB SD with more games I'll never play... and I thought that these MAME 2003 cores would do the job... well it didn't because I still have 8+GB of free space.
I've been testing some roms I downloaded yesterday with the help of the compatibility list and some doesn't work. I suppose that this is an incompatibility issue because I downloaded Roms from the 037b11 romset and not the ones you're telling me to download.
This is because, the games that I mentioned above works with the old MameWii and that particular romset. Don't mind me with these.
I still have to yet try all the games for each core and see which ones won't work and which does work.
Again, this is because I downloaded from the 037b11 romset and not the ones you're suggesting.

This is amazing!
