Thye aren't random files. Theya re full sets on Archive.org and I put them in the rom section. I just completed a San Francisco Rush race with my GC Switch Controller after doing the proper CHD thing. The only problem was I couldn't enter my name due to it being a bit twitchy which is how Cruis n USA used to be before whatever changed it: so it's not my ROM set that's the problem. For the record I got the only publicly accessible set. link removed I did calibrate the wheel and it turns out the gas pedal or my USB connection may have died. I'll try it on my Switch since it's compatible with it and I've played it not too long ago to see if that's the case. Any programs to take a screenshot in a game that comes up full screen so I can show my control settings? As for Cruisn Exotica I'll have to see what's in the zip file that came with the set. Using Snip It here is my Cruis n Exotica zip file: And here's another Cruis n Exotica one I can't remember which one is OG with the set and the downloaded one.

I searched this forum and discovered my question was in the wrong spot so deleted it so the mods won't have to: I wonder if that's why the lack of replies? Anyways here is my issue regarding controls for Cruis n USA between MAME versions and what I tried to do about it: Okay I followed this tutorial which worked for the game (OutRunners) the guy used: I used my Gamecube Switch controller and am able to play it and got past several checkpoints before crashing into an oil truck that kept getting in my way so this game is a success at least with my GC controller: I mapped the P1 thru P4 buttons to my XYA and B buttons according to the GC layout it has and the game runs flawless. I am not sure why it even states there is emulation issues when the game turns on as I didn't see any. It gives a big warning saying something isn't implanted very well. HOWEVER the same control setup isn't registering with Cruis n USA. When I select the start button the menu goes all the way to the left as soon as you start the game and it goes all the way to the right (bottom) if you barely touch it. Before you could sort of control it even with a gamepad which I'd do the top selection which starts you from San Francisco. So therefore something within the Cruis n USA/World internals have changed between MAME versions. It wants a C32 Boot Bin to even start Cruis n Exotica which no such file exists. There IS a C31 boot bin file floating around the web but that's not what the problem is for me so is of no help. I HAVE gotten Cruis n Exotica to start before on my older Windows 10 PC but the graphics were more messed up such as road artwork vanishing and certain elements flickering,etc which I figured was because my older PC was weaker and was hoping to get it to work on my more powerful PC. I can't afford it now but later in the year I could get a regular steering wheel to see if maybe my PXN wheel is the trouble but judging how my controller is responding compared to how it used to respond I am not sure if that's the problem to begin with and it would be a bunch of wasted money for nothing. Though at least I can play ATS properly. I think my gas pedals may have died since steering works regardless on Steam games. I've had the PXN since sometime before Covid that's all I can remember. We've had fires and ice storms since.

Requires a torrent. I don't do that shady stuff Dad warned me about torrents a long time ago and I didn't believe him till I payed the price the hard way and now I'm going a lot better without that crap installed I prefer Jdownloader 2 (third party download tool) which I use on Archive and download direct and gotten a lot of old emulation stuff that way but the latest MAME is funky there but as long as at least most of the games work I'll accept and give it a C (pass) but not a B or A.

Your the one that is no. I did a factory reset and it fixed a lot of issues I had with MAME among other stuff including recognizing controllers. Now my controllers work properly and is recognized when I install them. We can sit and argue all day but I am not going to so you have fun on your Android or whatever. Windows DOES give hell. I think your a paid MS employee since you just want to knock me down everywhere. That's the problem with all forums lately all the good stuff is old/dead and salty people are all that's left trying to say 'YOUR WRONG YOUR WRONG YOUR WRONG!'. They might as well just come out in the open and say that.

Pleasuredome you need to upload files or they ban you without question according to their policy. I think they are invite only too but that part was years ago so maybe not anymore? I'll check to see. EdIT: Okay it appears this isn't the standard Pleasure Dome page which is a good sign so far.

All the games but Cruis n Exotica seems to turn on. Exotica says some kind of boot rom is not there but no references anywhere online to such a file.

This is why I just stick to stand alone emulators. Launchbox is a VERY nice idea but you (and they) are fighting with Microsoft that doesn't and hasn't want us to own anything since they fired all those people during the dev of Windows 8 (which later led to 8.1 that they should've stuck to since it really was a fix for 8 making it a lot more useable). Launchbox is always not working after Windows updates till Launchbox updates and/or intel fixes their drivers,etc it's a hot mess. In other words it's a downhill battle fighting with the big guys whom want us to be 'on the cloud' as much as possible to spy on us and eventually 'rent' things out to us via the phone mentality. Windows 8 at one time was going to be totally smartphones until people found out and complained (mostly businesses) that needed it were all going to dump Microsoft. Some already have. PS. Phone people have pretty much always paid for 'renting' in the long term so it's no big deal for them as it's all they know and computers are too big and confusing to play with.

What was the MAME people thinking having the CHD set be in folders that are HTML? It means I can't have them as a set instead I have to create a folder myself with the same name and download each CHD individually because of this shanghai for the ones I need. Jdownloader WON'T pick this one up because of the folders all being html links. I couldn't for a while figure out why it wasn't being registered until I looked closer and realized what the problem was and it's on the owners end whom uploaded the 2.51CHD set and it actually says 2.225 not 51 on the CHD's even theou the roms are 2.51 the newest version. Something funny is going on here. Did MAME devs screw up or something? I guess all those poker games got to them. 😲😂🪓 JK. I got all the current romset just fine because they were zipped as they should be so Jdownloader picked them up right away doing a deep link analysis.

I finally got Cruis n USA and World to work as Jdownloader didn't pick them up when I downloaded the romset from that certain site so I had to dig thru the list manually to find them and add em in. It shows Cruis n Exotica as crusnexo.zip but it won't play saying it's missing some kind of boot file so at least I don't have a missing rom problem anymore. It was very weird trying to download this to make it work as the owner made it so all the roms had to be copied back to the ROM directory due to the folder within a folder crap. I think that was my problem in the first place at least for the 80s roms. Now I placed Cruis n USA/World manually and those boot up but Exotica doesn't as I said I have crusnexo.zip in there so it should see it.

From that one site I am not sure if I can mention (I'm sure you know what it is) I got the 2.51 roms and placed it in the rom folder. They did it in a weird way where it was a folder within a folder so I corrected that by copying the roms back to the main ROM directory so the 80s roms works but the 90s ones like Cruis n USA or World do not work. Cruis n USA says no rom file found yet Mr Do works. All the Pac games work,etc. Anything from the 90s on do not work regardless or not it requires a CHD. Cruis n USA/World do NOT require a CHD and neither does Exotica.

How come I get a boot not found for Cruis n USA then? I downloaded the merged romset. Could it be I don't have a bios or some other kind of CHD or something? I don't recall Cruis n USA ever EVER needing a CHD. If so where do I put BIOS files? Maybe that's where my problem is? And of course MAME itself works fine it's the games that don't. LOL. MAME always works fine.

As I have said I deleted MAME but when I had it my Switch Pro Controller was causing a game to always come on over and over again and it was a pain in the butt to exit out as I had to repeatedly hit esc which after the 5th time I think it finally quit. Unplug the controller and MAME at least booted to the menu normally despite romsets lying about working even though they matched which is a different issue I made a thread on. Anyways on my other emulators except CEMU when setting inputs it seemed as if all the buttons were being pressed rapidly so I couldn't do anything there except CEMU and STEAM worked (depending on game). I am close to buying a new Switch Pro controller would that fix anything? Dad thinks there is some kind of driver I don't have and I am wasting my time with buying these controllers. Mom helps me and we learned which controllers work and don't for different emulators.

I have or had all the roms in perfect order in the ROMS directory of MAME 2.5X family that's recent and they don't work at all. I for example when to turn on Cruis n USA and it gave an error even though I have the missing file. In fact I went to download Cruis n USA Rev 4.1 just to be on the safe side manually and left it zipped which it still read errors. Should I have unzipped it? I don't want to download MAME over again only to find that wouldn't fix anything as I have deleted my MAME stuff as they just don't work anymore..

I think you are getting it from the same source I am and that site isn't really known for testing things before they upload. They also deleted older romsets sadly. You can't get em anymore at least on my end. Maybe I'm on some government crap list so I'm externally blocked.

Sadly the only site that hosts MAME romsets have merged only files.
