I can't speak for using MAME32UI, but with standard MAME you can run from a command prompt in verbose mode to see error messages. Without anything to go, no way of knowing the issue.

I have mame64 .220 Type cmd in the WIndows 10 search bar and hit return and it should open a command prompt. Type cd + a space and then drag your mame folder into that window. hit return. Now type mame64.exe -v gamename and hit return. (change gamename to your game) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then exited the game, selected all the text but when I right clicked a whole lot of files started running down the screen. When it stopped I tried to run the game again. Now the game won't run anymore. Now, I'm not sure weather the text had anything to do with this, it may have just been copied text, and the game wouldn't have run again anyway. But isn't that strange? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) Right clicking pastes in the command prompt, after high lighting you have to use the control - C keystroke to copy. Somehow you have a permission issue. There can be a lot of reason for this and I'm not sure now easy it would be to try to narrow it down using forum posts. Maybe someone more comfortable walking through the process in an easy way can chime in. For now, you can try this: Fixing permissions Edited April 30, 2020 by Headrush69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Are you trying to run the 64bit version of MAME on 32bit windows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangodown Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 I un installed and then re installed mame .220 Now ssf2t works but only from command prompt. If I try to run it through windows 10 it just crashes when I try to run the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangodown Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 I actually got the wrong game after all that. It doesn't matter though because I still learnt alot about roms ect. The game I wanted is called Street Fighter Alpha 2. Is there a rom for that. Just on this ssf2t its very low res, does anybody know how to up the res? It looks like its only 384 x224 Thanks for all the great help by the way. Its much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a little out of my depth, but I think the command prompt starts in c:\ by default. You can see that I change the directory to d:\ which is the second drive with my games in it. Windows is of course on C:\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant upscale MAME games, MAME is all about accuracy, games will run at whatever resolution the original cabinet ran at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangodown Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) Right. Thanks for that. Do you know where to get sfa2? I checked the same place that I got ssf2t but its not there. I did find it somewhere else but it was very small on my screen. An arcade version would be the one.

As i have already said to you twice in this thread, downloading random roms is a recipe for disaster. You should really just get a fullset then you know you have everything you actually need for the games to run correctly. MAME is not a case of just downloading a rom and playing it like other systems. Roms will rely on files that may also be in what seem like completely unrelated game zips. As they were often on the same hardware boards they use a Parent structure, take for example Street Fighter 2, in order to run the Championship edition version you also need the original version as most of the data is in that rom still, only the actual differences are in the championship edition rom. You also need bios files that may be in the parent rom and not the clone rom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is "MAME 0.220 ROMs (merged)" a full rom set? And what if the game I want is not in it. Is there a way to find a rom set with the games I want in it, or is it just a case of scrolling down each one until you find one that has the games in it the you want.
