If you don't have any helpful responses don't bother unnecessarily lengthening this thread anymore.

Yes. Generally speaking, 'foo' bios roms go into the 'foo.zip' file in the designated 'roms' folder.

Whether a game supports high score saving ('by default') or not depends on whether the original hardware supports it after power down (and internally saves it somewhere in non-volatile ram/storage).

I don't know why I didn't think of this before, and it may be more than you bargained for, but: You could download the MAME source, edit the line in 'src/mame/drivers/hh_hmcs40.cpp' that checks for the filesize, CRC, and SHA1 to make it match your version of 'tmtron.svg', and then compile that custo...

Not that this helps anyone at all, but ... When I start raiden2 on MAME v0.187 (don't know about v0.188), I get the message/warning "One or more ROMs/CHDs for this machine have not been correctly dumped." Which I guess means the game is known to not run correctly ?

mhoes

Not that this helps you at all, but: The addition of checking for 'tmtron.svg' seems to have been introduced originally with this commit : $ git grep "tmtron.svg" src/mame/drivers/hh_hmcs40.cpp: ROM_LOAD( "tmtron.svg", 0, 384174, CRC(06bd9e63) SHA1(fb93013ec42dc05f7029ef3c3073c84...

Ah. I think I see what you mean now, and where I interpreted your post incorrectly. I fully expected that the 'tmtron.svg' was an *addition* and did not exist before. But it appears that the file does 'exist' in MAME, and is expected to be a certain size with a certain hash, and then you modified/re...

mhoes

I have no experience with this, but this *might* help: If mame complains about the single .7z file not being the right size/hash when you add things to it, you might be able to work around that be unzipping the file to the expected directory, adding your customizations, and renaming the .7z file or ...

I have another question, which I had from the very beginning, but did not want to make my request too long when I posted it: Do my games need to have a special format to be run by M.A.M.E. or M.E.S.S.? (I do not think that being just ".zip" files is enough, as anyone can zip any file and ...

Should I drag the whole folder that has the games, or the particular game that I want to play? Yes, when you do it this way, you need to 'drag' the exact game you want to play. If you want to play another, you can just drag another game. Also: Perhaps you are better off with a (easy, limited) GUI s...

Hi,

Sorry I cannot help you, but others might be (better able to), if you could tell what the exact Sega Genesis game is that you are trying to get to work.

I'm glad it works and helped. But I'm afraid that's about the only help I can offer on this subject. All this stuff is really waayy over my head I'm afraid. One final note from me (and then I'll crawl back under my rock): There used to be this website "Let's Hack Arcade Games" (letshackarc...

I made this video using -aviwrite switch, is there maybe a switch to change the rendering resolution of the output video? Although I haven't verified this myself, the documentation states that you can use "-snapsize <width>x<height>" on the commandline or in your mame.ini to change the si...

1) Is it possible to adjust the master volume somewhere in the options or configuration forever instead of each game individually everytime I start one?

My 'mame.ini' has a 'volume' setting, which is set to '0'. I haven't tested it, but I assume you can set it to the desired value there ?

Hi. Since this essentially appears to be a question about 'MAME Hooker' (I never heard of it, had to google), you may have better luck getting your questions answered by contacting the author instead.

For what it's worth: I cannot reproduce this issue with Mame 0.185 on Windows 10 Home x64. But since you state that (older versions of) Mame were working fine before but not anymore, I suspect something may be wrong with your system/setup. The only thing I can think of that might give some insight i...

I'm not sure if I can be of any help, but here's a try : 1. If the games (using latest official Mame) play correctly with the mouse/keyboard on your computer, but not all of them with your XBOX One controller, then this may be an issue with the controller, and it may be a bug in Mame. You could cons...

mhoes

well, excuse me for asking a simple question. There was no need to be a worthless coward about it.... I don't think there is any need for name-calling here. The answer is correct: You can only expect the 'official mame' developers to support their latest official release on the supported platforms ...

mhoes

Please forgive me my ignorance, but that doesn't really sound like an 'official mame' release number to me. Is that a Mame derivative (and if so, which one), possibly based on official Mame 0.36/0.37 (which were released in 2000) ?

mhoes

Just curious: What Mame version are you running on your NES Classic ?

mhoes

Perhaps the OP meant to ask if the games that use Laserdiscs (Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, etc.) are emulated by and working in Mame ?

mhoes

Well as I'm not a developer myself I may be wildly mistaken, but to my untrained eye it looks like the *source*code* is very well laid out and 'modular', as you put it. Just because building all that ends up in a single binary seems to have little to do with it.

mhoes

I haven't actually tested this, but it looks like that if you use HLSL (hlsl_enable 1) you can then set 'hlsl_snap_width' and 'hlsl_snap_height' to the desired size in mame.ini, and will need to use (left) ALT+F12 to create the snapshot.

mhoes

What Mame version are you using, how are you trying to get the screenshots, and with which game for example do you get this ? I tried reproducing this with Mame v0.183 and '1944', and when I hit 'F12' the screenshots end up in my 'snaps/1944' directory with names like '0000.png, 0001.png, 0002.png' ...

That sounds like a bug. If I understand correctly, the right place to report it would be over at MAME Testers: http://mametesters.org/

Hi, From reading your post I am not entirely sure what the issue is. Are you asking how to configure MAME to not use scanlines, because you do not know how to do that ? Or do have you configured MAME to not use scanlines, but get them anyway (at high resolutions) even though MAME is configured to no...

mhoes

The minimum value is '1' (which is also the default), the maximum is '3'. If you specify an invalid value that is lower than '1' or higher than '3', the value gets reset to a value of '1'. http://mametesters.org/view.php?id=5993 https://git.redump.net/mame/commit/src/osd/windows/video.c?id=b818233ab...

I'm truly sorry, but as I have no knowledge of the Mame internal debugger whatsoever, I cannot help you any further than pointing you to the various (blog) articles published on the (archived) site I linked to in my previous post.

Hi, What do you mean exactly with 're-recording' ?
