romruler Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I see that MAME is recommended for emulating Bally Astrocade. Can I please get some help in how to set it up? I have my roms in zip format, I have the bios in my Bally rom folder, I have Bally in my MAME emulator assoc platform, yet when I click a game, it does not start. Any help is appreciated. Cheers.

fromlostdays Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Are you using mame software list roms? If not, try unzipping them. Also make sure you have the bios in your mame roms folderSent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romruler Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Well, good idea. Should have thought of it. No, they were not MAME roms, so I found some and now will set it up. Thanks for the good question. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spycat Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 MAME can emulate the Bally Professional Arcade and it's two clones Bally Home Library Computer Bally Computer System To emulate the parent machine you will need the bios astrocde.zip Associated Platform Params are astrocde -cart MAME must know where the bios rom is. Games can be anywhere with LaunchBox pointing to them. The games can be either named as per the software list sets or the longname. So the game Galaxian can be any of galaxian.zip galaxian.bin Galaxian (1981)(Astrovision.).bin All will work. You can even change the game's longname and it will still work, example Galaxian by Astrovision.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
