MAME4ALL v1.0

[SixtySixHundred]

This is sweet news. I will test the hell out of this when I get home. It's freakin' great to own a DSTwo!

EDIT: Cannot, for the life of me, get any ROMs to run. Mortal Kombat II (A few different revisions of it, ones listed in the 'gamelist.txt' file), Golden Axe (Version 1), Hang-On, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (World), and a load of other supposedly compatible games all give me an error message, Failed to initialize machine emulation, or something very similar.

I've been through the FAQ and I suppose some trial and error is in order in regards to the settings for the games, I just think it's a bit disappointing. And there's far too any plug-ins too. Maybe it'll become consolidated in future releases but I'm going to give this a miss for now. No disrespect to Alekmaul at all, it's only an initial release after all. (Sorry for the rhyme).

You probably are using the wrong version of that game's ROM (remember that you need the 0.37b5 ROMset...if it's not that one, it might not work). Also, the reason it has so many plug-ins is probably memory constraints (like how scummvmDS has several versions supporting different games...MAME with all the drivers can end up being kinda big.

Why would the games listed in the 'Gamelist.txt' file be incompatible? All the games I tested came from the correct ROMset. And I didn't say I didn't know why there was so many plug-ins, just that I thought there was too many. TBH, this is too much fannying around, I spent an hour on this already and still not played anything. NeoDS will do for me.

so what roms work on this??????

Most (If not all) Mame4all formatted roms. I think only one or two games have outright refused to boot for me, and I have a couple hundred (Haven't tested them all yet).

can u name which formats are mame4all roms

I don't have Mortal Kombat II to test, so maybe it has problems, but Golden Axe works fine over here.

Just download the full set for the gp2x or wiz. It's 1.8gb

Which game were you trying, out of curiosity?


The ones I mentioned in my post..... Plus a couple more, but all to the same effect. I will have a go later when I have more time, I'm obviously doing something wrong.

A few MK games are listed as compatible... Weird. Still, now I'm certain I'm doing something incorrectly. Or my DSTwo is a fake... (that is, of course, a joke).

I just facepalmed a minute ago and checked again (I'm sorry, that was really dumb of me

, guess I shouldn't read this forum when I'm just waking up). I can report that Golden Axe is working ok over here at least, though the sound seems slightly buggy.

We all have blonde moments. I'm gonna try looking for this GP2X set mentioned, maybe (likely) it's my ROM files. I hope I get it working...

EDIT: Found the ROM set but it's the best part of 2GB so it'll take a while to download, (Not an especially well seeded torrent). I will report back when I have some decent ROMs to test with.

EDIT2: Yaaaaaaaaawn.... I'm still only at 36% of this torrent and I'm on a hella-fast BB connection. A whole bunch of fannying around, I hope it's worth it!

Look for the torrent. I found it with google just now.

your looking for MAME 0.37b5 files or information on how to convert a ROM to work with mame4all. there are many ports of mame4all for many systems, handhelds, phones, etc. finding info on converting is pretty easy.

-another world

I used ROMs that worked on both the PSP and Dreamcast versions of Mame4all.

 

[Juanmatron]

This sounds like MARVEL VS CAPCOM!

 

[9th_Sage]

Finding compatible roms is a pain, so far all I've got working is Cadillacs and Dinosaurs and Micheal Jackson's Moonwalker. Both games lag even at full clock speed, but it's a pretty nice start.

Have you tried reducing the CPU of the emulated arcade machine (that CPU percentage in the options)? It's not going to work with all games, but it's helped out a few I tried with no ill effects.

I tested Simpsons 4 player and it works well with just sound problems and an occasional lag but other then that it's great..I can also confirm Wrestlefest does NOT work..

Marvel vs capcom and xmen vs streetfighter don't work..

I'm fairly sure the version Mame4all is based on is too old to support those (I'm not sure that they'd work all that well anyway even if they did). Also...Ninja Turtles works decently.

Found a full romset on usenet and most roms seems to work really well. Thanks to all concerned for the port
