moved to new computer, Now rom's don't work

I recently switched to a new computer, I moved all my games to that new computer, but now the mame games don't seem to work. I usually use Launch-Box to play arcade games but when I click on the game it first tries to "initialize" but then closes. I tried using the M.A.M.E. application pro...

Re: What is "IO read test?"

Hitting f2 didn't work, also I think I may have changed the command you are referring to because f2 doesn't activate service for me. Since I figured I must have changed it I deleted the "default.cfg" file to change it back but that ended up fixing it anyways so problem solved. Thank you gu...

What is "IO read test?"

I was playing "Contra" and then I hit "Shift F3" because that was the key combination I use in Snes9x to save to state 3 but in MAME that does a "machine reset." Now every time I try to open the game I get some kind of screen that says "IO read test" and nothi...

Invalid header

How do you delete save states?

I have been playing games using M.A.M.E. with my 6 year old nephew and he LOVES them. While I like that you can save a game state under any key unfortunately when I try to save a game, for example at the beginning of a level, he in excitement is usually pressing keys on the game pad saving a game un...

Re: How do you update M.A.M.E.

Alright I think I get it. I wanted to update M.A.M.E. but when the instructions said something that made me think I had to download one of those files that contained thousands of roms at a size of I think around 60 gigabytes. Since I already downloaded something like that when I first downloaded M.A...

Re: How do you update M.A.M.E.

Do you have a video link to "how to uncompress a binary package" or is it just copy over a file. Also because I emulate lots of different plateforms my roms are in a program called LaunchBox and that program just uses M.A.M.E. to emulate the program. Doesn't M.A.M.E. emulate the roms not t...

How do you update M.A.M.E.

How do you update M.A.M.E? I saw a youtube video and it seems to claim that you need to update a rom package as well as the emulator together. I just want the emulator and the option to choose which roms I have. The rom packs seem rather large and full of a lot of games I am not interested in, at le...
