This is the thread where we request MAME ROMs.

Actually, fuck that.

There's NO DAMN WAY that zipped archive shouldn't have worked. Not if you're running MAME .61. Can someone do me a favor so I know that I am not a collosal fuckup? Anyone? Anyone who downloads MAME32 version .61 and that long-arsed filename I had up above with the Galaga shit in it and reports their findings back to me gets a NO PRIZE!!!

I don't have anything to say other than "fuck."

"Fuck."

No, no, none of that crap works.

For anyone who actually wants to PLAY Galaga 88 rather than downloading lots of ZIP files which don't work, you can get it here:

With Emuchina ... you just have to wait an hour or try a different file. It is the only complete .61 rom set I know of.

by **Ice Cream Jonsey** » Sun Oct 20, 2002 12:59 am

Yes... YES!! It does work!!! It works for me. And I did a fresh install of Mame .61 and only have Galaga 88 ROMs in my directory.

Ok. OK. Okay.

Do this:

1) Download this:
http://www.joltcountry.com/downloads/Ma ... porium.zip

That has EVERY SINGLE ROM that starts with "gala".

2) Unzip that and put it in your \Roms directory, off your MAME32 .61 directory.

3) Do not unzip the individual files

4) Start up MAME32 and have it refresh the available games.

5) Play Galaga 88, set one.

6) Report back with your findings.

Does not work.

Requested files look like:

g81_s0.bin
g81_s1.bin
g81_p5.bin
etc, etc.

Ahhh, I realize what was happening with Galaga 88.

There is a "base" set of ROMs that goes with the various other sub-versions of it. If you don't have that base version you're out of luck.

ANYWAY...

Try this, Ben:

Can't a brother get a little peace? It's war on the streets, and the war in the Middle East. Instead of war on poverty, they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me!

Has Death Race ever been in MAME?

It would appear not.

Well, some of those Asian singles are pretty hot.

Wait, don't answer that. I know what happened. You're probably on .61. I am using ROMs from .56 and I think MAME32 from around the same rev.

I FUCKING HATE this about the MAME project. This much renaming of ROMs is really, really unecessary. The biggest problem with the whole scene is in trying to get the ROMs because there's so many goddamn repeat customers. Really, the best thing to do is acquire all the ROMs for a given release and then "freeze" your updating of MAME. Either that, or meticulously scan the Usenet groups for them and spend most of your on-line life downloading them.

Galaga 88 changed... GALAGA FREAKING 88. Ridiculous.

If you can't access that page that Worm detailed (which does have the latest rev -- I was getting timeouts when I tried to use it) then I'll get things set, again, when I get home. But this is why MAME is such a failure to introduce people to. It shouldn't be anywhere near this much of a pain in the ass.

You're using MAME .61, right?

I am the MAMEYIST.

I just copied all those CDs over to the machine I bought to play NWN.

And then I played some Donkey Kong and some Berzerk, and then got my ass kicked by Frenzy.

Whoo!

Good point, I guess.

But still: downloading 5G of ROMS takes a lot of time. More, in fact, than $11 of my time, which is about 20 minutes at my salary, about 40 minutes at my take-home-pay rate, and about 6 minutes at what I'm billed to clients at.

Even if I heavily discount my own time because it's, like, not onerous and I'm just screwing around, crippling my pr0n download speeds for, like, hours and hours and hours isn't worth the $11.
