Hello, I have a Wii modded with Homebrew Channel and USB Loader. Everything works fine. My question is, how do I get all MAME games on my Wii? I only have a list alphabetically A-D. I read in an old post that MAME has a limit of games. How do I get more (or all) of MAME? I have 10GB of them. Should I try a different MAME emulator? Or a different place on my SD Card for Mame roms? Please reply so I can get this fixed. Thanks

Hello, should I try this:

mini.c

mamedriv.c substitute file for "mini" MAME builds.

I read it on toadking.com. Not sure what it is but I thought replacing the "mini.c" would help me with games. It says a lot about drivers. There's a huge list of roms. Will this help me get all my MAME roms? Should I try Homebrew browser? I will keep searching...

"By default the Tab key on the keyboard moves focus between panes."
"In Configure Options | General Inputs | User Interface, the third option, Config Menu, is the mapping that you want. If you're hand-editing your CFGs, then in the file cfg/default.cfg or the default section of your ctrlr/[filename].cfg file, the input you want to add is UI_CONFIGURE."

Remap TAB Key??

Well, when you say, "10GB", I wonder if you included other MAME games. Some only work on CPS1/2 and some, like MVC2, have...."issues".

I think your issue might be simple to fix. It may be the files themselves--sometimes, games just won't work.

I mean, you posted in the Wii section, so, if you're talking about replacing drivers, you might be a little lost.

Why don't you link to whatever it is you're reading rather than leave people to guess about it?

Anything involving .c files is probably going to require recompiling, and whatever your problem might be, the solution is probably simpler than that.

Hi, thanks for your replies. Here's a link. I think the problem is that I need to hit TAB or set it up:

"In Configure Options | General Inputs | User Interface, the third option, Config Menu, is the mapping that you want."

All I need is to scroll through the other games alphabetically E through Z. I think they're on there I just need to move between panes. I'll report back in the morning.

Mame Wii has a roms limit. Here's a modified one : https://gbatemp.net/threads/is-ther...-limit-on-wii-mame.347097/page-3#post-7252035

This emulator has a pretty low compatibility anyway. However, a few games are only playable with this version and it's the only arcade emulator with 'light gun' support.

Retroarch fba can play all CPS1/CPS2/NeoGeo and a lot of games too. In combination with retroarch mame2000 and mame2003, compatibility and performance is rather good.

Hi, I tried your link for the MAME emulator and it worked! Everything shows up. I will try NeoGeo and cps1 and 2 later. This thread is solved. Thanks

Hi, I downloaded FBA 0.2.97.43. Where do I put it on my SD Card? Does it work with RetroArch? I know this is an easy question but I'm new to FBA.

Thanks for putting the solution--you wouldn't (or maybe you would) believe how many people say, "Fixed. Works now." without saying how they reached that resolution, even when asked.

To each his own, but it might make sense to weed out the bad games to reduce the clutter. Also, if you don't have too many games in your list, it shouldn't be too unreasonable to create properly named game folders for each game so you don't need to memorize the jumbled .zip titles. Going even further, you can also create category folders, which would allow you to quickly pinpoint games you're in the mood to play.

    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze

    so..... yeah

    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze

    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double

    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

    it's dumb

    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need

    Toxic pills are best
