Emulators / Emulator Problems with Ms. Pac-Man...
« on: August 20, 2018, 07:21:45 AM »
Hello, all... I'm joining the forums, and I am bringing a frustrating yet interesting problem.
So, before you get to know the problem, you have to know the background behind it.
I have Attract Mode and MAME on a windows-powered arcade machine.
Attract Mode does the job quite well with launching MAME games in general.
Most of All MAME games I have play quite nicely, controls work and everything... That is, Most of all but one.
As you probably could have guessed, MAME is having issues in specific with launching Ms. Pac-Man.
Attached picture file Capture1.PNG shows an error message with this specific game, and only this game so far, stating that the files in the romset are missing, before the emulator exits.
If you look at Attached picture file Capture2.PNG, you will see that I have all the files necessary in the compressed folder that is named mspacman.zip.
This is not a problem within attract mode, but within MAME itself. I have attract mode configured properly for this emulator.
Also, I have the ROMs stored in a special external drive and I even configured the MAME ROMs directory inside the program AND in Attract Mode to point to that drive so it could find the MAME ROMs from there (Picture soon...).
What is the solution? Is mspacman.zip a bad/corrupted file? Is there possible bad/corrupted rom files inside the aforementioned zip file?
If you need me to clarify or post any missing or extra pictures, please let me know!
