Codeen Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 Hi, trying to get this to work, I watched a tutorial from Brad and he said there's tutorial's of him setting up MESS but I never saw 1 on the YT channel. If anyone could help and post screenshots that would be greatly appreciated. Quote
Lordmonkus Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/33042-neogeo-cd-w-mess-tutorial/ Just replace MESS with Mame. 1 Quote
Codeen Posted February 12, 2019 Author Posted February 12, 2019 thanks lordmonkus, you're always super helpful 1 Quote
Codeen Posted February 12, 2019 Author Posted February 12, 2019 So, Lordmonkus, I don't know what I am doing wrong. I followed the tutorial link to a T and proceeded accordingly. I'm using mame64.exe, i have both bios files zipped in the mame roms directory and even moved the roms to the mame roms folder. Put the default command line in the associated platforms. Nothing pops up. I've then did this with the latest mess64.exe, again same instructions, only thing that popped up was a cmd box and disappeared within a millisecond. What am I doing wrong? Quote
Lordmonkus Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 It's possible your disk images are bad or in a format that Mame doesn't like. 1 Quote
Codeen Posted February 12, 2019 Author Posted February 12, 2019 Well they are bin and cue files and I don't exactly know if they work or not but everywhere I downloaded from has the right file size. Quote
Lordmonkus Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 bin + cue are generally good, are you loading the cue file ? Quote
Codeen Posted February 12, 2019 Author Posted February 12, 2019 Yes, I'm going to try with 3 other random games and see if this works. Quote
Lordmonkus Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Is your platform in LB named the same was as it is in the Associated Platforms ? If it is then im gonna stick with bad disk image. Quote

Codeen Posted February 13, 2019 Author Posted February 13, 2019 So, only change is the cmd box comes up for a millisecond on mame Quote

Codeen Posted February 13, 2019 Author Posted February 13, 2019 i shall download some new roms and we'll see how that works Quote
Codeen Posted February 13, 2019 Author Posted February 13, 2019 OK, i've downloaded different bios set (even has the japan neo geo cd) and also a few different roms from very trusted websites. Same thing is happening. I'm just wondering before I throw in the towel, do I need to do something within MAME to make the bios' show up like so Quote
Lordmonkus Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 No clue, I never use the UI in Mame. Quote
Codeen Posted February 13, 2019 Author Posted February 13, 2019 alright, thanks for your help anyways Quote
Belgarath Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 I think someone else had this problem recently, try an older version of MAME like 0.196 1 Quote
