How i play the Acorn Archimedes? i want(Like) use the MAME/Attract Mode for this

[gamesmame]

I try one batch in MAME i make the .bat =

Code: [Select]

mame aa305 advance
(opens but any game loads) 

STOPS here:



In Attract Mode i use this:

# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.6.1
#
executable           M:/Emulators/mameplus/mame.exe
args                     -aa305 "[romfilename]"
rompath              M:\Emulators\mameplus\roms\archimedes
romext               .adf;.zip
system               Acorn Archimedes

And nothing happens... i think the 2 codes have error, please give me a light!!!     I want not i like use MAME but if have other better emulator please let me know!

I use Retroarch with the MAME core .. but the end result is the same.  Games do not auto start once loaded.

Here's some notes I've made for Archimedes games.

Hope this helps.

games load into flop0

upon bootup into desktop, using a mouse, double click on flop0
 double click on program to launch



to swap disks:

press ScrollLock (to change to partial keyboard control)

TAB > File Mangager and swap disk files

press ScrollLock (to change back to full keyboard control)

I think mame do correct works.
it load aa305 system and you probably have to load your images from there (from disc icon maybe?)

different emulators: Here

Arculator Official Page: http://b-em.bbcmicro.com/arculator/index.html
Arculator Roms: http://www.4corn.co.uk/aview.php?sPath=/roms

Place roms in arculator/roms, setup the system (much like PCem but less complicated) and post-boot run the game by clicking on floppy icon.

I couldn't get mame to run archimedes but I have non-merged set and don't have the list of all roms required for running it.

Just so you all know that driver in mame is marked as not working (still) in MAME as of MAME 0.231 (says that when you try to load it). So you have to use a different emulator anyway.


Here is the driver info: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/src/mame/drivers/aa310.cpp

Was added and marked as not working as of 0.180 https://wiki.mamedev.org/index.php/MAME_0.180
