Cannot scan Mame Roms

[asprofridis]

Hi there,

I apologize if it is a newbie question but I cant add Mame roms on my setup. I have just installed retroarch 1.7.8 on windows 10 and I cant scan mame roms.

While I successfully added Nintendo 64 and SNES roms after I installed the appropriate cores I have no success with mame.

I have installed mame 2013 plus and arcade mame but after scanning my roms folder. no one is recognized.

Is there any supported rom pack that I have to test exclusively or am i doing something wrong with the procedure of adding mame roms.

thx in advanced for your help.

RetroArch Playlist Scanner Support

The RetroArch content database supports arcade romsets in Full Non-Merged and Split formats. In order to be recognized by the scanner, Full Non-Merged and Split romsets must also be processed by TorrentZip to standardize their CRC.

RetroArch Playlist Buddy - Playlist and thumbnail generation app

RetroArch Playlist Buddy is a Windows-based tool that can be used to create playlists for any platform where RetroArch is available. This script might be for you if: You would like to create a playlist and thumbnail set for a set of arcade or cartridge ROMs that is not supported by the RetroArch playlist database You would like to use either your ROMs filenames as their title in the playlist, or extract the titles from an XML-formatted MAME or FB Alpha DAT You would like to separate your MAM…

thx a lot for your reply. Probably I have tested with an appropriate rom set. I will try to find online for a compatible one.
