to run a modified ROM in MAME you MUST run it from the command line, so for example “mame sfiii3nr1” or “mame sfiii3nr1 -debug”. I made a custom build of MAME to run this but I suspect that isn’t necessary. and the date on the simm files is november of last year instead of 1996. Note that CPS3 binaries are interleaved amongst 4 ROM files (simm 1.0 through 1.3). if you do not place this file in the nvram dir for the game, you will not get widescreen. This save file stores the byte that toggles widescreen ON (it’s the same byte saved as when you turn on widescreen in 2i’s service menu).
I was just thinking maybe “da mods” wouldn’t be into ROMs being posted here, that’s why I mentioned discord.Īlso you must put this 1kb file “eeprom” in mamedirectory\nvram\sfiii3nr1 New ROMs that don't have some of these problems and are playable with current MAME.Syzygy sure, I can post it here. There are also ROM management tools that may be able to reorganise ROMs to create I find the best solution is to put those problematic ROMs to one side and obtain some better non-split unmerged ROMs for the same game from somewhere else. The ability to play the games is just a nice side effect." Providing backwardsĬompatibility with older ROMs isn't a top priority and this is complicated by theįact that IP issues mean that MAME cannot be supplied by the developers with ROMs.Īs someone else once said: "MAME's primary goal is preservation.
MAME's original objective was to document old arcade games. Some ROMs depend on a common platform ROM, e.g. ROMS sometimes depend on external data that was originally stored separately. There are "unmerged", "split" and "merged" ROMS. Disk space is no longer an issue but old ROMs survive. So to save space, ROMs were split so that one ROM depended on resources in a ROMs for different games sometimes had a lot in common (e.g. Generally is optimised for the latest versions of game ROMs and may not work Of game behaviour are more meticulously recorded. ROMs can change as better ROM-dumping techniques are invented or as details. Why does MAME report "missing files" even if I have the ROMs? mame -listfull can tell you the game name and the expected ROM name that matches, although you'll probably want to pipe this to grep or similar due to the large number of supported ROMs. If you've renamed the files, or they downloaded with the wrong names, you'll need to fix them. Note that MAME is very picky about ROM file names - they must match exactly what MAME expects them to be. NeoGeo games (Like King of Fighters '97) require neogeo.zip in your roms folder, but it seems like you've done that already. There are rules about where this CHD file lives, you can read up on this at the FAQ. CHD file is required in addition to the ROM. Files you find on ROM sites are a bit more suspect.įor some games (like Street Fighter 3 Third Strike), a. You might start with one of the publicly available ROMS on the MAME website, since those are pretty much guaranteed to work. You can run MAME with the name of a ROM to start right into that game, or fail immediately if it isn't present. 
I think they mean "compatible" more than "available" here. MAME will show a lot of games as "available" that aren't really. Some things that might have tripped you up:
