MAME Core Romset Version

tekn0 · 15 January 2017 03:48

Hello, I am having some issues loading a CHD with the latest MAME core. It seems to get to 11% and just quits. I was wondering if it’s a rom set version issue. I have never tried to load a CHD with retroarch before. All of my other roms are playing wonderfully. I have the correct folder structure. (CHD’s inside of folders inside the roms dir like the blog/wiki says)

Is there an optimal romset version to use with the various mame cores?

Also my logs produce this error, but but paths seem correct.

kinst.chd DIFF CHD ERROR: file not found FATALERROR: Required files are missing, the machine cannot be run.

My current rom set is 0.165 and I am using the MAME git core.

Using the MAME-git core, kinst works for me with kinst.zip md5sum of: 27ac1447ce76fe20aed5b3d15a380c0c and kinst/kinst.chd md5sum of: 8477ed69164c81edf2842c38c2c868dc

Thanks hunterk, I will verify my md5’s.

I do have different checksums. I wonder if that could be causing the file not found? Is there anything i might be missing from my logs. I did check that I had read/write to the retroarch and roms folders. Thank you again for always being so helpful, I really do appreciate it.

You need to have it there:

C:\Emulation\Roms\Arcade Systems\MAME\MAME 0.165 ROMs\kinst\kinst.chd

is that the case?

Tatsuya79, yes thats exactly where it is. Thats also why I thought it might of been a rom set version issue, or a permissions issue. As I believe my file/folder structure is correct from reading forum posts here regarding this issue.

hunterk · 15 January 2017 06:41

If the checksums don’t match, it’s not going to find it even if the name/path are correct.

Mine came from a 0.150 set but I don’t think there have been any changes to those ROMs since then.

r-type · 15 January 2017 06:41

Just in case have you the diff folder created ? Remember same pb with chd just because the diff folder was not created

kinst.chd DIFF CHD ERROR: file not found

I agree, and it is odd the checksums don’t match… Although I am having no issues with any other MAME roms, just CHDs so far.

I did read somewhere that CHD’s have to be writeable for some reason. Could that change the hash?

Awesome suggestion, I will try creating the \RetroArch\system\mame\ folder structure from the log.

At current I only have cfg and nvram created, and I did create these directories manually. I will give this a shot when I get home in a few hours. Thank you.

tekn0 · 15 January 2017 06:41

I just wanted to confirm creating the diff directory and the rest of the ./system/mame/ folders has resolved my issue. Thank you again everyone for your help.

hunterk · 15 January 2017 06:41

Nice! Thanks for posting your solution

You are very welcome! and thank you for all of the amazing work you do here, and all of the help you provide to us.

Hi guys, I am new and I can’t make new topics yet, so I am tryig here.

I have a 0.250 somset for mame, and on retroarch I have doenloaded mame_current (looking at the info of the core is a 0.250 mame core). So the current mame and the romset are matching but once I try to load any game, mame current just wont to start any of them. So why? If I use a stand alone mame 0.250 all the games runs very well, but I want to use retroarch due to shaders support.

Thanks you all

hunterk · 15 December 2022 17:28

We would need to see a log of it failing to load to even guess what’s going wrong.

Tackskull · 17 December 2022 01:31

Ah it seems I did it by myself, this is the log running mame current:

hunterk · 17 December 2022 01:40

you need to disable the boot lua script thing

Tackskull · 17 December 2022 14:04

How I do that? I am a noob on this things

hunterk · 17 December 2022 14:05

I believe you need to delete it from [system]/mame/boot. It’s not something we put there, though, so possibly something Launchbox is doing? IIRC, the other people who have reported issues with it were also using Launchbox, so might be worth reporting at their forum.

Doing a clean install with latest retroarch and mame .252, but it says mame .251 at the bottom left of retroarch. bug? how do I fix? is it only downloading .251?
