Set it up, test any roms that wasn't working in the other version, and then have GameEx to use that version of mame as an emulator (under emulator settings). Then find a second version of mame that will support any rom that the first one will not support. I would use this version as the main mame version (have GameEx point to this under "mame settings").
Depending on the amount of games you have, I would download and use the version of mame that will support as many roms that you have stored. This is what I would do (and this is how I have my cab set up). That's why sometimes, if you are building a cab that will have many games, more than one version of mame is a good idea - that way, if a rom does not work with one version, you can always get GameEx to point out that rom to work with another version via the Mame Mapping Magician.
There is something I learned pretty early about mame.just becuase they come out with a new version, does not always mean its a better version - a game that works well with an older version of mame is not guarenteed to work with the most recent version of mame. To help your search a little for the different versions of mame, this link should take ya where ya need to go: Lol, it really is an easy thing to do - just can take time depending on how many games ya want working that doesn't work in the "main" version of mame you wish to use.
(hypothetically) if kinst.zip doesn't work through the different version of mame, but kinstua.zip does, you will have to use the setup wizard to filter out the kinst.zip, and then add in (include) the kinstua.zip and then update the list in GameEx. It should work well after that - Oh, and if the name of the rom file is a little different.e.g. After downloading and setting up the games through the other versions of mame, you will have to set the other versions of mame as emulators in GameEx setup wizard and then use the Mame Mapping Magician to "tell" GameEx which rom files to open with which version of mame. The one I use for Killer Instinct is 0.103 and I'm not too sure about Street Fighter III 2nd Impact, but with 3rd strike, v0.146 works well. The best way to solve this - and it will take a little bit of "elbow grease", is to download one or two "alternative" (older/different) versions of mame. It will show in GameEx that you have the game, and it will try to open it through Mame, but will error out and will return to the front end.
Let us know.I'm gonna help a brotha out (I had this problem before when I was first setting up my cab)Īssuming that everything is setup in the setup wizard correctly, what's going on is the version of mame you are using doesn't support the rom files you have. Which KI2 are you using? CHD?Īlso, are you using a front-end loader, or straight MAME? (Keep in mind, I'm using MameUI). So hit us back with your Mame version and Romset version. (I'm not even sure if a PCB version exists.) I'm using the Killer Instinct 2 CHD though, rather than a typical board version. The romset that I have is from version 0.139 from approx. We have the same amount of RAM allocated, so the difference in versions shouldn't matter. The game was later followed by a spin-off called Killer Instinct 2. The game was developed by Rare and was initially released for Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and Game Boy.
I'm on Mame UI64 0.146u1 (from about June 2012) Now I can't imagine that mine being a 64 bit version, and yours being 32 bit should have anything to do with your performance. Killer Instinct is a fighting game released in 1994 by Midway and Nintendo. Download the Killer Instinct 2 ROM now and enjoy playing this game on your computer or phone. This is the EU version of the game and can be played using any of the Mame emulators available on our website. So let's talk about your Mame install, and what version of the game you are using. Have fun playing the amazing Killer Instinct 2 game for M.A.M.E. So you've got something wrong in your setup. On Killer Instinct 2, once the game initially loads, there is no lag, slowdown, sound glitches, nothing. I'm "streaming" my mame games over a wired network from my file server to my HTPC. My video card is a slim form factor GTX 520. (This is a dual core, to your Quad core.) I have the same amount of RAM as you, and a slow 5200 RPM hard drive. The setup that I'm using for my HTPC is an old AMD Athlon X2 2.4GHZ. Alright Redd, I finally got around to looking into this.
