Romcenter

Hello,

I fixed the files, and Romcenter are showing them now
in green color, thus it means that it is now ok but when
I launch the game, it does not work; if I launch the game
from mame64 v0.141, then it keeps telling that the selected
game is missing one or more required rom or chd images
and if I launch the game (play game) from Romcenter itself,
it attempst to load the game (you see the percentage progression)
but then it stops and you come back to windows.

I also have some games where Romcenter are showing them
as red, in this case how and where can I find the missing and
needed files? Same question for all the games that Romcenter
are showing in green color but don't work/run.

Thank you.

Hi Spirit

Which games and which errors ?

Are your games green under the 'datafile' node ? Or only under the 'rom files' node ?
If your games need bios files, you must tell mame where they are (ex:neogeo.zip).

If romcenter shows a game as green, it means you have all roms needed for that game.
If it is red, you must find the missing roms somewhere.
(Warning, roms are copyrighted material and downloading them without license is a copyright violation)

Hi Spirit. Take a look at this thread. It's a site policy not to allow posting of such info so you won't find any relevant links here.

Hi,

They are showing green both under data files and rom files, but under the data files,
there is also a kind of "circle" which I don't know to what it corresponds right now and
this one is red.

As I told you, I have the roms and Romcenter shows them as green, but when launched
they donnot work and a sentence keeps saying that one or more required roms or chg images,
but Romcenter is showing them as green, thus no additional fixing needed as per what it says.

Yes I had the neo-geo bios zip in the rom folder too, I could run some of the games
but not all, whereas Romcenter is also showing those who don't work as green.

And apart from the whole above, I also have some showing in red, which means that it must
be fixed in some way.

But what is "weird" is that some of those being told as "green" donnot work and you get the
same sentence error as for thoses showing in red.

Thank you.

I think the red circle corresponds to the bios, so I suppose that the bios is not good
for some of them, but not all of them, as the other ones are working.

Yes, it's possible.
neogeo bios have a lot of files and not all neogeo games use all bios files.

But in this case, the neogeo bios must appear red in romcenter. Can you confirm that ? Or post a pic ?

Hello,

Do you mean under "data files" then under "bios files"?

If yes, then the rom bios is showing in green there, which is normal
otherwise none of my games would work. Only several games don't work,
I guess that it is because it is not still updated in some way.

Thank you anyway for your willing to help me.

Happy New Year to you all.
