Hello Gents,

I recently setup SDL Mame v1.0 on two of my Wii's (one is mine the other is my kids)
- SDL Mame Wii v1.0 works perfect on Wii 1
- SDL Mame Wii v1.0 gets the following error on Wii 2

"No games found. Please check the rompath specified in the mame.ini file.
If this is your first time using MAME, please see the config.txt file in the docs directory for the information on configuring MAME"
"Exit"
-please note that I am NOT able to hit 1 or 2 to confirm the command Exit. I must walk up to the Wii and hardcode shutdown.


Please note, my 12 rom files ARE in sd:\mame\roms\*.*
I really have no idea why this is happening and I don't know how to fix it. Work done so far:
- deleted on Wii 2, the Wii that is failing: sd:\apps\sdlmamewii sd:\mame , then recopy all those folders from my working download and recopy my roms into sd:\mame\roms , no dice.
- swapped my working Wii 1 SD card and put that into non-working Wii 2 SD slot. No Dice, weired, this proves that the problem is NOTHING to do with the code on the SD card. I MUST be an issue with the mod code on Wii 2. I think I need to remode Wii 2 from Cradle to Grave.
- Go into sd:\mame\mame.ini and change "rompath roms" to "rompath sd:/mame/roms" . No dice
- Run SysCheck2 on both Wii's and compare there outputs in Excel. Identical SysChecks except the version of MIOS, so I upgraded Wii 2 to DIOS MIOS V2.0.wad . No dice, still have the same error in SDL Mame Wii v1.0
- Remod the entire Wii from cradle to grave using WINMOD , rebooting between batch wad installs as I find that does a better install.
NO DICE, I am still not able to run SDL Mame Wii v1.0 Man, this sucks!

Any ideas gents ?

Sd card in Wii 1 is Kingston 8GB sdhc class 4
Sd card in Wii 2 is Kingston 4GB sdhc class 4
Note, I KNOW the issue is not because if the SD card on Wii 2 as I placed the Sd card from Wii 1 into Wii 2 and I have the identical error. Hum, strange issue.

Anyone have some suggestions ? I really really really love Mame, especially on the Wii. I programmed Battlezone to use the two joysticks on the GC remote for forward and back per track. It has that real "tank" feel and it's tonnes of fun!

EDIT:
Ugg, I found out the problem. I had an old usb:\mame and usb:\mame\rom directory. I nuked it and all are fine.

Simsons works fine
a number of the other roms are getting "The selected game is missing one or more required ROM or CHD images. Please select a different game"

I think I read somewhere that, this is because I might be lacking some of the BIOS rom files or CHD files that would go with the original ROM files. I am pulling my ROM images from an older MAME Cd that I own (it's designed for XP), so I will see if there are BIOS rom images files in there and CHD files as well. Just hope that I don't need to insert these into the zip files of each game. I am hoping I can just drop these into the ROMS folder

EDIT2:
All is fine now, just had to replace my roms. These old coin-op games are Dope!

Does anyone know how to get the Wii pointer to work much better in Missile Command ? I have been playing with the sensitivity and speed and such but... it's operation is poor. Any ideas ? It's really the first time I have every played an old school game where the pointer Wii remote was totally ideal!

Is there a key combination to exit out of the new SDL Wii Mame 1.0 ? Right now I am hardbooting each time. Do able, but... I have to walk up to the Wii each time. Ugg, I get me exercise with a daily 15 minute walk, not fiddling with the Wii
FIXED, to exit the Emulator just hold Coin and Start, then scroll to bottom and choose Exit

Link to UN-official update to "SDL Mame for Wii v1.0" . I apologize if I have incorrectly cross linked to another site, I just thought it would be useful to our team as this is such a new product

tstwitter, I'm getting the same error you had with the "roms not found", however I don't have file in my usb drive like you did. The roms should be in zip folders correct?

 

[tstwitter]

Frigg, wish gbatemp.net would email me when someone comments on a thread I have commented on before. Oh well.
Um, your roms go into

sd:\mame\roms

and YES they should stay in there original zip formats. Toadking has a nice list of working roms, via the wiibrew.org site. This new version of SDL Mame for the Wii is freeken awesome! It seems to support a tonne of roms now and there is almost zero wait load time. It's all very very good. I would start with your older roms FIRST like Galaga, Elevator Action, 1942 to ensure your Mame setup is working well, then work your way up

Hello. New to the forums. I have v1.0 of MAME for Wii, and all of the roms I have work fine, but I'm having a problem getting Bucky O'Hare to work. When I click it, it loads, but then kicks me out to the Homebrew Channel. Is this problem fixable? And is there a way to get Ninja Baseball Bat Man working on this emulator also? If so, this emulator will be 100% perfect for me.

I'm positive Bucky O Hare does not work. It was one of the games I did not get working. But now you mention it, I'm gonna get a copy and try it out.

 

[DJPlace]

don't bother with Bucky O Hare and west west COW Boys of moo mesa... i have tried those on each version of this... and it does not work... and when does IREM type games work on this? it would be cool if HOOK worked on this.

Thank you, but isn't that the old 2011 release that can be found on WiiBrew?

I was looking for the updated beta that was being discussed in this forum.

Alright, that is what I am looking for is SDL Mame.

As for finding roms that work with it, it seems pretty much hit and miss. I've just had to test what I have by trial and error, then if MAME says files are missing, I try to locate them and add them to the zip's.
