Trouble using the MAME Arcade Fullset import feature


NightShadowPT

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Not sure what the problem is, but I seem to be having trouble importing the latest MAME .220 that I downloaded from Archive.org this week (installation from scratch).

First I tried just scanning the ROMS and it "only" found around 2.200 games, when I have more than 11.000 files on that directory.

Next I tried following ETA Prime's tutorial video to use the Import MAME Arcade Full Set and while everything seems to have worked well, it detected less than 900 games? (i.e.: It didn't pick up any of the SF2 games, but they are in the same directory) (???)

It also seems to have messed up the categorization (i.e.:Street Fighter Zero is showing up as a CPS-1 game)

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong and I'm seriously confused...

Anyone can help?

Cheers

Just use the fullset importer and leave all the settings at the defaults, just change your region preference to what you prefer. You should get about 2800 games imported.

That's what I did... and it didn't work.

Happy to try again though (even if it takes forever to import everything).

What's the best way to address it? Select all games from the front-end and delete them before?

Cheers,

Just right click and delete the platform.
