xmame problems "ERROR: required files are missing"
I searched yet I wasn't able to find a solution to my problem. I downloaded the latest version of xmame, and when I try to run it I get this error:
Code:
ynadji@onizuka:roms$ xmame ddonpach.zip |
try
xmame -rompath /path/to/your/roms your_game_name_here (without the .zip extentsion) or, if you wanted to avoid the -rompath modifier, you could edit your config file in ~/.xmame, or you could try putting your roms in /usr/local/share/xmame/roms (thats my configuration). |
Okay, I edited the rompath in the config file earlier as I thought that was the problem, but that didn't fix it :-\. But adding -rompath to it does make it work, so I just made an alias and everything is working fine now, thanks!
|
i dont think that editing the config file did anything for me, to tell the truth, so try putting your roms in /usr/local/share/xmame/roms. then you might not need that alias.

I have the same problem but althought i followed your suggestions i still can not play all the games i have.
Only 19 work and i have more roms. What should i do?

[franco@localhost roms]$ An hel it would be appriciated. Thank you. |
you could try a gui for xmame. theres a great one here:
http://advance.sourceforge.net they have other neat stuff there, like an xmame bootable cd, etc, etc. :) |
I can only get X Men to work, nothing else works at all. Well Metal Slug launches, but apparently xmame can't launch the NeoGeo BIOSes and all the video is messed up. Oh well :-\
|
I already have a gui.
Is it possible 0.70 version is too old? I don't think so! Probably Roms are not Ok for linux, because under windows they works. Anyway, thank'you for your help. |
Roms too old/new?

1. Check which version of MAME you were running under Windows, and install that version of xmame. 2. Get the correct romfiles for your current version of xmame. Regards, Pieter Hulshoff |
I'll give that a whirl when I get the chance, thanks for the info!

I fixed the missing files problem for super bubble bobble putting the rom for regular bubble bobble (arround 130Kb) in the roms folder.
I got a file named bublbobl.zip that contained the missing files. |
I have the same problem with xmame 0.102 as franco29/10.
I have found a solution..... All my roms are in capital letters, meaning ABC.ZIP If i rename them to abc.zip then the game plays But i don't want to rename 15 GB of roms. So is any other way to overcome this problem? |
Why not use a small script to do the renaming for you?

Excuse my ignorance, but where am I editing those file paths? I have the same problem, I downloaded roms, they show available, but they have files missing. Please help me.
