T489 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 My current MAME ROM Set is 0.229 which I imported successfully but a lot of games like KI didn't work proper, they would start but crash before booting up. I want to try the current MAME set... am I best to delete the 0.229 set out of LB and import the most current one? I looked at the update option but there are a lot of updates between this version and the one I believe is most current 0.258. Thanks!

spycat Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 If you're on MAME 0.229 and have the 0.229 full romset then you shouldn't have issues unless a particular game uses a CHD and you don't have the CHD set. I assume that KI is Killer Instinct. As well as kinst.zip this game also needs a CHD (kinst.chd) and won't work without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I read sounds like the correct CHDs are 0.243... should the CHD files be 585GB+ or am I looking at the wrong thing? Sorry one more question, do I just add them to the MAME folder in LB or do I have to import them too? Thanks Again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly though you do not need that full set as there are only around 130 CHD games listed as working. You can actually just download the CHD files for the working games or for just the games you want. If you imported a full Mame rom set then you just need to make sure you file the CHD in the Mame location in the correct way or if you place them somewhere else just be sure to open Mame and tell it where you put them.
