The Select Machine Is Missing One Or More Required Rom Or Chd Images For Women
I figure if I can figure out one method from start to finish on how to do this, others will be about the same method or process. So if you can help me with one instance, I can do it again with little issues.
Okay, I want to play a classic video game. For example, I want to play Pac-Man. I know I need an emulator and the ROM. I am running Windows 7 on my home computer. I am using the arcade emulator version. Now, I download the emulator M.A.M.E. ('MAME 0.140 sources in self-extracting 7zip format (Windows only)') Website for Pac-Man: http://home.online.no/~mrroboto/pacmania/the-emulators/the-roms.htm
Website for M.A.M.E.: http://mamedev.org/release.html
The MAME file is: mame0140s.exe ('Source Code') Since it is an EXE file, I figure I can download it for my Windows operating system. Now I click on the file and I get the file read to extract. (Interesting, the file is an EXE file, but I have to 'extract it'?????) Anyways, I do, and I get a series of files and folders on my desktop. I see I have folders called, 'docs', and 'src', and files called, 'makefile' and 'whatsnew'. So I am looking for a Windows installer file and all I see are text files and some odd files. Now, I am lost!!! :o I have looked at some text files in the 2 folders and I see copyrights, new features, and license details. NOW WHAT DO I DO? I'M LOST!
I'll stop here for now... I work with the ROM issue afterwards...
Please reply. Please help me from this point with details on instructions on what I need to do.
Thank you!
Ok, so first you need to download the game, and place it in your Rom folder, located in the Mame folder.
Do not unzip the games... leave them as is.
Then Fire up your mame, and click on 'All games' option, which should be located on the left column, to display the list of all games.
Scroll down to find the name of the game you just added.
You can either find the full name, or the short version of it, which should be the name of the zip file.
Right click it, and select 'Audit'
After a short scan, mame will tell you if the game has passed the audition or not.
If it has, it's fine and good to go... if not, then either there are files missing from the game, which means it wont play properly or not at all.
Solutions are:
Either get another version of the game, or download a different version of mame.
Not all games work with the same versions of mame.
There is a way to audit all your games at once, but the scan takes a lot longer.
To do this, simply go the 'File' in the command menu and select 'Audit all games'
