But how do I know if a rom set has Street Fighter Alpha 2 in it before I get it. 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. It will always be in it, a mame romset contains everything. If its not in a full mame romset, be it merged, non-merged or split then its simply not a arcade game.

tangodown Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) This is what happens now when I try to run the game in command prompt. Its really weird because it worked before? Anybody know what this error is looks like something to do with Direct3D? Direct3D: Initialize Direct3D: Configuring adapter #0 = NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Direct3D: Using dynamic textures Direct3D: YUV format = RGB Direct3D: Max texture size = 16384x16384 Unable to create the Direct3D device (8876086C) Unable to initialize Direct3D 9 Fatal error: Unable to complete window creation D:\Games\New MAME> Edited May 15, 2020 by tangodown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS76 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35 Try this is should install any missing components of DirectX you don't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangodown Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 Thanks but it says no installation is necessary. I'm getting the full rom set and I'll post back with results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. So I now have the full .220 rom set but I am still getting the above error. I don't know how it ran before. I can't get any game to run now : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
