Homebrew Mame2003+ Compatibility list

[Tetsuo Shima]

This is the compatibility list that me and @mastershoes have been working on these past days.

I think it could be useful to ease things up for users, because games are already divided by cores.
These cores (A, B, C, etc) are the latest @Wiimpathy's mame cores, and those followed by a number (C2, D2 etc) are the alt versions (older revisions) also from the same thread.
The H core is here and I believe it's always Wiimpathy's work, but can't recall exactly where I got it from.

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

This is great. Thanks very much. Looks like i'll have to dig my Vita out as Retroarch Vita includes the same core.

Excelent resource, been thinking about doing it for a while.

I should point out that 1942 works on my end using core H without issues, and so does UMK3 using the alt C core

EDIT: I don't know how to link a specific comment, but I got my core H from the last comment in this page

This is great. thanks! I'll test that too and I will update the list

I also have 1942 marked working in Core H.

 

[MrSW]

Core A:
Galaga 88, Pac-Land and Vs. Super Mario Bros. work
Ninja Baseball Batman boots, but it is slow, and is very prone to glitching

Core B:
Bubble Bobble works
Bubble Bobble 2 and Bubble Symphony are slow, but if you set frameskip to 3 (I think) it halves the framerate but it allows you to play them at full speed

Core D:
Altered Beast works (doesn't work in the alt core), Rygar works

Core E:
Gradius 3 works
Fantastic Journey doesn't work

Not a big list, but those are the games that I play that are missing from the list

it black screens for me, maybe my rom is not the right one.

Wonderful thanks! Can you write the exact rom names too? Are your roms from the same romset?

By chance any known compatibility for:

• 3wonders
• blazstar
• cabal
• ddsomjr2
• mshvsf
• punisher
• wbml

 

[MrSW]

Yes, all are from the MAME 2003+ set

galaga88.zip
pacland.zip
nbbatman.zip
suprmrio.zip
bubblem.zip
bublbob2.zip
bublbobl.zip
altbeast.zip
rygar.zip
fantjour.zip
gradius3.zip




Also, from where its the 3rd core C?

ddsomjr2
3wonders
blazstar
mshvsf
punisher

You should be playing these with the FBA CPS1, CPS2 and NEO GEO cores

 

[Danimalzpwn3]

ohh okay I got these with mame, by chance do you know the best mame cores for these? @MrSW

 

[MrSW]

those games can't run in MAME on Wii. Download the latest oficial release of retroarch for Wii to get the FBA cores if you want to play those games

 

[Danimalzpwn3]

@MrSW
Found all but two, cabal and wbml follow under which cores?

I tried Cabal under G & G2 and neither worked.

 

[Danimalzpwn3]

@mastershoes okay, im guessing that means that game does not work with any of the current roms right?

Not as far as anyone's tested at least. I tried them in G & G2 because of Wiimpathy's compatibility list, but who's to say it's not working in another core until someone actually tests them all.

Also, I Tried UMK3 in C2 and can confirm it is working, albiet a little slow.

Also, from where its the 3rd core C?

Also known as core I lol. I'm not sure where it came from, i got it from Tetsuo, and all i can tell you is that the .dol is labeled mame2003_midtunit_libretro. Pretty sure it's not directly affiliated with the C or Alt C cores, in which case we should just change it to Core I now?

 

[Danimalzpwn3]

Okay! thank you @mastershoes Ill test some cores our for both and let you know if anything works better!

 

[RunningSnakes]

I can confirm plenty games work not listed here yet. I will post a list shortly of what i have working not listed yet. Cabal does work in Core G

Not sure if i should post games that require a wheel that do boot up and start?

 

[Danimalzpwn3]

what about wbml, this is the only one I still need! Thank you!

 

[RunningSnakes]

I havn't tried it recently & i don't have it in confirmed working folder. I'll give it a try in a short while. If it is going to work, it will be in Core D. Good Luck

 

[Danimalzpwn3]

Okay @RunningSnakes snake thank you!
