DarthWHAT

okay I do not have a hotd.dat in navdat. Maybe cuase I haven't opened it successfully in SM2 yet for it to write one? Also changed the forced managed to 1 in the ini and still same thing. Also I looked in the HOTD.zip and there only a bunch of numbered files types, is that all that supposed to be in this rom? Is there another emulator (launchbox friendly) that will do both Sega model 2 and 3?

It crashes as soon as I double click the house of the dead from the menu within the m2emulator. I will give this all a try when I get home tonight and report back to you. Thanks!

I am running the latest version 1.1a, I'm sorry if I worded my issues incorrectly but I'm not getting model2.zip errors when loading a rom, My issues, for example with the house of the dead, I go to load the rom and it crashes m2emulator instantly. And I've been scouring the internet to see if anyone else has had this issue and some posts mention needing this model2.zip inside the rom folder. So that lead me to searching more on the model2.zip that could possibly be my issue but I'm not turning up much. But now from what it sounds like this model2.zip wont fix my problem since I don't technically need it.

Hey thanks for the reply! my roms i think are good (from the merged 0.212 set) And they load using the MAME emu but don't fully work right. I will have to look inside the rom zip and see if that model2.zip is in there. If not do you know where I can find it? Here is a screen shot of my rom dir.

No they don’t.

I was hoping that someone here has had success with getting games like house of the dead and Daytona working on the sega model 2 emu. I changed the roms dir in the ini file and still not working. I keep seeing something about a model2.zip file, that needs to be placed in the roms folder but I can not for the life of me find anything on it or where to even get it. Help

Does anyone know where to get the platform videos for this theme?

Yes I'm using the stock 1up screen with a LCD board via HDMI cable. Now that you mention it, I do notice that just as I start a new game in mame "sometimes" it will show what the signal connection the screen detected then disappear,, like when you switch your input from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2 on your TV. I'll try to mess with the mame video settings and relaunch it in LB and see if anything changes. Its just weird that all of my roms are set to auto resolution and perform all normal when playing.

Just seems to be only in MAME, another issue is that font it too small too. So its all over the place, too large, just right, too small.

Cadillacs and dinosaurs, smash tv, metal slug but it’s a lot of them that does it. The only games I recall that it’s fine on is killer instinct and mortal kombat but theres probably more here and there. I will check to see if it’s just MAME or other emulators are effected

Hey guys, so on a bunch of my mame roms, when I hit the pause screen, the fonts is huge (like below) and does the ... run off thing. But for some other mame roms the pause screen shows like it normally should where everything is smaller and you can see everything, Any ideas?

Wooohoo got it working! I just changed the video mode per rom to OpenGL and boom all working again. Thank you my friend!

Okay new clue so I can get them to work when I set them in windowed mode within MAME. As soon as I remove it from that to start full screen it’s crashes MAME.

I have the path ROMs set. I see all my games. I did play with the video settings once but swear I changed things back to how they were. At least I assumed i did since all but 5 of my ROMs still play. Does Bally midway get weird in video settings?

okay so I tried running rampage in MAMEUI and it does the same thing, but this time it causes MAME to crash. MAME also shows its as a working rom.

Will do, thanks for all the help so far guys!

The latest .0210b 64bit

Got it Thanks!

Trying to figure out the MAME UI is pretty confusing to say the least lol Not sure how to use it but thanks for knowledge!

Yes that is in there. These were working once, so something happened at one point that made them stop. I've removed all the zips and re-added to see if that worked and nothing. I'm going to test run these thru MAME only tonight to rule out Launchbox.

Exactly what I as looking for! thanks!

Thats a good idea, I will have to check when I get home later. I'll report back. With these midway games I know they require the missio.zip or whatever its called to run, anyone know what a good site is to use for reference to see what roms need these particular zip files to run? maybe I've delete something I wasnt supposed to. Its just weird that only these games stopped working.

Not sure when it happened maybe after the LaunchBox update but they were working at one point. Games like rampage, tapper, spy hunter, tron, pigskin football. I’ve googled my ass off and can’t really find anything. Anyone have issues with this games? When I try to load in LB or BB just the loading screen and then black screen for 2 seconds then back to BB or LB.

Thanks again! I will give that a try

Lol yup that was it thanks. Weird that game can’t pull media. Is there a way to manually scrape and search ROMs for media?
