spycat Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Concerning your VSmile issue. You need vsmile.zip which contains the 3 files vsmile_v100.bin vsmile_v102.bin vsmile_v103.bin By VCreate do you mean VTech CreatiVision? If so, then see your 'Creativision Emulator' thread.

Disney Rob Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 Yes I mean vtech creativision/ I must have downloaded five versions of vsmile.zip and they contain the three files in question. But everytime I try to run a Mame app it tells me vsmile_102.bin. and vsmile_103.bin are missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(tip: get them working in standalone MAME 1st.) These are 2 separate troubleshooting processes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disney Rob Posted August 28 Author Share Posted August 28 Straight through Mame. I figure if they dont work then, they will not work with Mame through launchbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 While you may have files with the correct file names they may be the incorrect versions of the files. You will just have to find the proper version of the file for the version of Mame you are using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disney Rob Posted August 29 Author Share Posted August 29 So is this basically download different files until I find the ones that work ? I am trying to get version numbers as close as I can. Maybe delete what I have now, and start from scratch ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disney Rob Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 Okay started over. Downloaded a "complete " MAME" collection. Matched version numbers The bios files are there for Gamaate, Vsmile, and Vcreate I downloaded the rom files for Gamate, VSmile, and VCreate, put the, all in the ROMS folder, yet MAME is still telling me it is missing files. I am about to give up Where am I still screwing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spycat Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Concerning your vsmile.zip bios issue. If MAME tells you that it can't find vsmile_v102.bin and vsmile_v103.bin but doesn't report anything amiss with the vsmile_v100.bin then maybe your vsmile.zip bios is iffy. vsmile.zip was last updated Feb 2020. I use that version (see Retroroms) which works with MAME 0.269 as it also did with several recent builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
