MadK9 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 if you have the 59 gig which is more than likely the Merged set, you need the Bios files. And yeah you can get away with using a diff version, but its numbered for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure (re the mame exe matching the rom set), I just cannot necessarily- easily enough for me, anyway- find a perfectly matched set. I sure would like to think 193 would be ok with 201. Ok, so thanks- how do I get the correct bios files? I cannot believe I haven't heard or read about this yet- perhaps this will FINALLY solve my problem, lol.

thejamestownoasis Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) Well...Kondorito is a hero. I won’t bore with the details- as I’m still not sure what I did wrong, where, how many times, but he hopped on and has me running. In my defense he came onto a mess that had just gotten really bad as I was grasping at straws and throwing darts. I wiped everything out mulitple times but hadn’t done so before he walked into my dumpster fire. He used the same rom 193 set and mame d-load I had and was failing with...I think he did, anyway. Maybe he can step in for a sec and explain, but in my feeble mind, I was placing the roms in the mame folder’s rom folder and then thy banging of thy head against the wall commenced. I believe I just had the roms in the wrong spot- SOMEHOW!!! I was able to get my X Arcade stick working- by the skin of my teeth, lmao. Thanks for everyone’s patience and help- Golden Tee 06/Complete runs perfect, as far as I can tell.

Kondorito Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 There were a lot of folders and a lot were incorrectly placed, but there was one of those tries that had the correct structure; the biggest issue in that one was that the roms were not completely extracted; only a dozen or so. Glad you got it working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
