MarcusAurelius Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Can anyone help me with MAME at all. Firstly I used to have an application that would just require me to open it up and select which ROM to play.Unfortunately it was on an external hard drive which has died. Anyone got any ideas about which version of MAME it would be Secondly there are loads of versions of MAME on the net , can anyone recommend a simple to use version ? I am a total NooB when it comes to dos prompts etc.. so I would have difficulty with those type of MAME applications. Thanks in Advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I use Mame32. A front end just needs to be functional, and this one is just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in Advance If you need a full set of ROMs just give me a shout Mark, I'm not bang up to date (my version is 0.103u1, with a ROM set to match) but TBH bugger all of any note has been added since then anyway. I run a relatively stripped out version of MAME (I don't bother with the CHD (compressed hard drive) games because they're almost all crap and run like shit anyway), so the whole lot only runs to just under 15GB. My preferred version of MAME is MAME32FX, which is an optimised version of MAME32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcusAurelius Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 Big big thank you to Chopsticks for sorting me out Just had a little play on Nemesis.Oh the memories!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Ah Nemesis! Loved that game. Just can't quite get to grips with using a keyboard now though. I also play Splatterhouse, Pang and the Track and Field/Hypersports games which are great fun. BUT Can anyone recommend a 6 button arcade joypad of sorts that I could use with a PC for things like Killer Instinct, Nemesis, etc? I found that this one would do the job X-Arcade Tankstick but it's a pretty hefty price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly what I was looking for but I'll give it a go, it's got to be better than a keyboard anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 OK, some help required. Got the xbox360 wired controller, works fine (tried it on NFS Carbon). Can't get it to work with anything on Mame32 though. Got into the controls screen in TAB, but it won't recognise the controller. Any ideas?
