I suspect your CPU is too old.

MAME 0274 requires a x86-64-v2 CPU. It says here https://www.mamedev.org/

I wondered what was going off, some computers work some don't.

So get a new PC or stick on 0273.

Looks like the TV game is not, but it seems to run on the GBA.

If you have trouble with the MAME GBA emulation, you can try another emulator.

Hello I was messing about at the -listsamples option and noticed some machines/drivers don't output. For example: mame.exe -listsamples nes_bandai_pt554 No matching systems found for 'nes_bandai_pt554' Also missing when you list everything, without specifying the machine. Defiantly has samples: <mac...

I understand how to generate the XML, what I'm not clear on is how the MAME exe generates the XML itself. Is it reading the driver port information? Or is there some other place in the source code where XML is stored? If I were to submit a PR to change it would I change the driver port source code?...

Hello I know some software lists exist without machines "3do_m2 3DO M2 CD-ROMs" being an example. But I noticed all these SLs are not referenced by any machines. 3do_m2 3DO M2 CD-ROMs advantage NorthStar Advantage diskettes gba_ereader Nintendo Game Boy Advance (e-cards) gtfore Incredible ...
