MAME doesn't run some games

[Tackskull]

I have a 0.250 romset and launchbox downloaded and cofigured automatically everything to use mame 0.250

Everything is working grate, I love launchbox and bigox. But I want to know why some games are not running.

I know the sega model 2 games are not well supported, but I found that other games, some Taito games, just wont run. The games I tried are Ray Crisis and Castle Shikigami.

I remeber that using past versions of mame in past, those games wont run as well. So is that because mame still doesn't support those games or because i have to configure some in game settings?

What do you mean by "don't run"? Both games are already marked as imperfect and MAME tells you what the known issues are for the ROM if you're not running no-nag or an AHK script that closes it automatically.

A quick search shows that Ray Crisis requires an extra CHD file to run, and Castle Shikigami (I'm assuming you mean The Castle of Shikigami II) cannot run in MAME yet (It does say it's a Sega Naomi game, so I can only assume it would run inside of something like flycast).

This is a good online resource for Arcade games that explains what state certain games are at inside of MAME: http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/

Hi thanks.

About Ray Crisi I will try find that file, about Castle shikigami I wasn't referring to the second title but to the first one. In fact I already run Shikigami no shiro 2 on many emulators, but I would like to run shikigami no shiro 1 on the mame, because launchbox detected it as a mame game

ah, I see. Then, yes, that website is also stating that it requires a CHD file to work.

I downloaded the CHD file for Raycrisis, I put it on the MAME roms folder, but the game doesn't run anyway, should I configure something on mame?

Probably the simplest way would be to put it inside of a folder that is named after the rom file, and place that folder in the same place as your MAME rom files.

Are you asking why you have to do it, or that you tried i and it didn't work?

You essentially need to do:
[rom folder]\raycris\raycris.chd

I did it, basically I found a guide. I created a folder with all the unzipped chd files inside and put it on the roms folder. The folder name have to match the same chd name. Thanks
