BluSonik Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Hey @ResidentEvul13 from the screenshot you've provided it looks to me that your dc.zip file (your bios) is missing the file mpr-2187.ic501, you need to get that file for it to work. id suggest having a search round for some new bios as the one you using isn't complete Quote
DOS76 Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Okay I hate to self-promote but if you have a newer MAME set you can grab these .bat files that I made to easily extract all the bios and Arcade Roms that are needed for Demul. If you keep them in the folder structure that they are extracted to you will have to add each folder to Demul as a ROM path or they can all be combined into a singel folder it up to the end user really. Have you watched the tutorial Brad did just a few weeks ago its about setting up Naomi and Naomi 2 in Demul Edited February 7, 2017 by DOS76 2 Quote

DOS76 Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Under plugins and paths you set all of those settings. 1 Quote
ResidentEvul13 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Posted February 7, 2017 jesus just watched followed everything perfectly yet still when i try to hit run dreamcast the curse hits me again! if it wont work on my laptop something tells me it won't work in lb for me geez! Quote
DOS76 Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Your bios file is either wrong or corrupted try finding dc.zip from a MAME set and replacing the file you have 1 Quote
Charco Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Looks like a bios issue, try another bios and also make sure you have the latest roms. Quote
ResidentEvul13 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Posted February 7, 2017 just downloaded that moments ago how can it be corrupted straight from the actual site? roms i not the issue im sure of that. Quote
Charco Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 It's not corrupted, it's just the wrong bios, it's missing that file or else it has a non-compatible version with that version of Demul. You will have to source a diffetent bios. Quote
DOS76 Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 I've tested this both with the 0.178 and 0.182 MAME set dc.zip and the August 2016 build of Demul 1 Quote
ResidentEvul13 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Posted February 7, 2017 fixed completed... i deleted the whole thing... downloaded fresh emu/bios redid settings and viola! not the roms but was the actual emu folder had bad stuff in it all gone now. thx for the help now on to my next issue... 2 Quote
