SonicFan53 Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 (I don't have bezels though sorry. I usually look for title screens, clear logos and boxart, which I have for all my game.com games (I have 6 of them) Quote

Also make sure you have the bios file called gamecom.zip. Inside that zip should be two files "internal.bin" and "external.bin". I have not seen any Mame bezel artwork for this platform. Quote

I have not seen any Mame bezel artwork for this platform. both are correct i have the bios setup for my arcade platform and have added " gamecom -cart1 " but games are still not launching any ideas what could be going on? i have found bezels for RA just not mame standalone , so maybe RA is the way to go just not sure how to get that working Quote

You did also point Mame's directory listing to the folder you have the Tiger roms in and the bios file is in that folder? Quote

Retro808 Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Change the command line to read gamecom -cart1 you left the "1" off at the end. Quote

Yeah. If you have your Tiger roms in a specific folder you can also put the bios file in that folder as well. Then in Mame make sure you add that Tiger rom folder path to Mame. Also in Launchbox I see you have "Tiger Game.com" as the Associated Platform. Is the exactly how you spelled the platform name when it shows up in Launchbox? Quote

Is the exactly how you spelled the platform name when it shows up in Launchbox? yep copied the bios to the rom directory still zipped just incase, still doesn't want to open. as for the naming its the same , i just used the Launchbox default platform naming exactly the same in all instances Edited February 21, 2020 by Newlander Quote
spycat Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Re the bezels. See the "Unified Bezels Collection" and also the "Handheld Bezels Collection" in the LaunchBox Downloads. Both have system bezels for the Tiger Game.Com. The ini files are for RL but you can do an RA ini or a MAME lay file and use the bezels with those. Quote
Retro808 Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Try unchecking those 2 boxes in the details tab of Mame. I do not have those checked. Not sure if they make a difference. Here is how I have mine set. I never had it set up prior to your post so this was all done within the past day and it works. Edit: Just tested with those two boxes checked and the rom stopped working. So that might be the issue. Quote

spycat Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Do you know if the real machine skipped the menu screen when a cartridge was inserted?. If not, then MAME can't. Quote
