Title: 2 rom same name
Post by: glaysonmestre on August 03, 2021, 07:06:41 PM

 managed to make a hack rom run on advmame and a rom that they said did not work on it is street fighter 2 golden magic , but you have to change its name to the name of a rom that is already in the rom list, for example :


I have two directories I have a rom named sf2v004 in directory 1 and directory 2

the attract mode when running the game  as main the game in directory 1 I would like to make it recognize each one of them because they are different games I can't make the game run with the original name because it doesn't seem to work


capcom/rom1
sf2v004

capcom/rom2
sf2v004

video the game   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WyDAZb7H1E&lc=UgxYBOlYMuSSxDRrmFd4AaABAg.9QX2rXuF8qu9Q_ZhRB4_jR

pretty shure you can just set the name vs title, diff after you have your romlist set, and also the emulater..  should solve this for you..

by generating a romlist, AM removes duplicates automatically.
so it won't works.

find a unique name.

for example:
C:\attract3\EMU\ZSNES\ROMS1\Game1.smc
C:\attract3\EMU\ZSNES\ROMS2\Game1_(HACK).smc

Code: [Select]

executable           C:\attract3\EMU\ZSNES\zsnesw.exe
args                 "[romfilename]"
rompath              C:\attract3\EMU\ZSNES\ROMS1;C:\attract3\EMU\ZSNES\ROMS2
romext               .smc
exit_hotkey          Escape
OR

Try hardcoding romlist.

for example:
C:\attract3\EMU\ZSNES\ROMS1\Game1.smc
C:\attract3\EMU\ZSNES\ROMS2\Game1.smc

leave rompath empty:

Code: [Select]

executable           C:\attract3\EMU\ZSNES\zsnesw.exe
args                 "[romfilename]"
romext               .smc
exit_hotkey          Escape
edit romlist:
your_AM_folder\romlists\your_display.txt

C:\attract3\EMU\ZSNES\ROMS1\Game1;Name_of_Game1_whatever_you_want_to_see_in_AM;ZSNES;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
C:\attract3\EMU\ZSNES\ROMS2\Game1;Name_of_Game2_whatever_you_want_to_see_in_AM;ZSNES;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
