confused about split roms


Recommended Posts

Hi All

 

Its been a while since I mucked around with mame. I have a complete split rom set 0.193 which I want to use only a handful of games from.

I am under the impression that with a split set I can use the parent rom only and run the game.

I am using Mameui64 to load the games.

I have made a folder containing the ROMS I want to use. If I set the Rom directory in mameUI to that folder some roms dont work. If I set the folder to the complete list they do.

One example is Arkanoid. I have copied what I believe to be the parent rom - arkanoid.zip, but it wont load.

 

I dont have room on my cab hard drive for a complete rom set.

I must be missing something.

Hi Brad.

 

I just figured out what I had to do. Its always the way after you post!

I had to install the mame bios files

I havent tested all of the roms yet but I have tested about 6 or so and they are working so far. I have quite a few to check.
