TopGunBass Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Hi guys, I'm trying to use mame to load odyssey2 games. Emulator is set as MESS Assosiated platforms: magnavox odyssey2 Default command: odyssey2 -cart I have odyssey2.zip in mame rom folder. Odyssey2 games are .bin After importing Roms when I launch a game it trys to load and then a black screen then back to launchbox menu. Is there something I'm missing. Can someone help me out. Thanks.

Or if you must, "odyssey2 -cart1". 7 hours ago, TopGunBass said: I have odyssey2.zip in mame rom folder You also need "i8244.zip" (device file) and "videopac.zip" (parent rom) 7 hours ago, TopGunBass said: Odyssey2 games are .bin For MAME (and even [old school] MESS), the files need to be zipped. For example: "A Labyrinth Game / Supermind (Europe)", MAME is looking for "2lbsprmd.zip". Also, make sure Extract ROM archive before running is NOT checked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopGunBass Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Thanks Joe. When I added the i8244.zip and videopac.zip the games were able to launch. No other set up in launch box was needed. Oddly there are no functions for mame to configure anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopGunBass Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 Well once a game launches no way to exit back to menu. Tab key to config controls doesnt work. Strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
