I don't think mamepgui has a chance at acceptance from the Mac crowd because the GUI is poorly constructed compared to normal Mac human-interface guidelines. (Have board administrators considered an inter-board authentication system such as OpenID?) I'd like to let the developers know on the Mame Plus! board, but registering for more than one discussion forum in a single day is already a pain in the neck. Which version of MAME would work readily with the "common" versions of the MAME ROMs? As long as I can configure the controls with the TAB button and scroll up and down to select the game, its quite OK with me.I downloaded mamepgui 1.3b9 and it instantly crashed.

However, on the PC version, there appears to be no way to find out which files you are missing, or they give you some absurd error code that makes no sense (sfx.sfix is ce54S9x or something to that effect) when using a GUI version. Most (if not all) work first try, especially on MAME OS X, and if not, I just have to manually rename 1 or 2 files (and its very obvious which ones). Is compatible with your rom set.Well, I'm downloading the ROMs from the "usual places" (major ROM websites, not torrents or other haphazard sources) and they all have the same ROM files when I unzip them.

You will either need to download a new rom set, use a program calledĬlrmamepro to rebuild your rom set, or download the MAME version that
Your rom set isn't compatible with the MAME version you are using. And to dispel any "blah blah blah buy the games!", I have just purchased a whole shit pile of SNK compilations for PS2, so I am entitled to emulate both the ROMs and the BIOS. This is really annoying since all I want to play is Neo Geo games. How can you view the error log inside the normal MAME interface? In MAME OS X if there is an error, you just go to "view log" and it tells you what files are missing and you find or rename whatever isn't right and it works.
#Mame os x gui zip#
I tried putting the zip in the general rom directory, expanding the game and files and dragging/dropping them in with the game, and it still gives me errors. I know I need the bios files, but I can't figure out where/how to put them. I can get most games to work, but The Outfoxies gives me an error as does all Neo Geo games. It turns out the normal MAME interface is OK (I thought I was using a frontend because I had downloaded both at the same time in the same directory a long time ago, blah blah blah, anyway). If a file is wrong/missing, it gives you a log of all of the "missing" files so you can rename the file accordingly (if the extension is wrong) or so you know what you need to hunt down. If you want to see what MAME OS X looks like, here's a screenshot:Īs you can see, titles on the left, screenshot (if available) on the right. I know there are a few Mac users that also have extensive experience with PCs, so perhaps you can shed some light on the subject. I tried using Kawaski or whatever its called, but I couldn't get the Neo Geo files to register no matter where I put them (lame). I am having trouble finding ANY real information about PC frontends and would like one that operates somewhat close to MAME OS X. It works great and I love it, just drop the unzipped ROM folder in the ROMs folder and rename some files every once in a while, but overall pretty straightforward (by MAME standards) and very reliable.

As of now, most (all) of my MAME-ing has been with MAME OS X for (duh) Mac OS X.
