Launch a game and press tab to open the in-game menu. Then in MAME go Options>Default Game Options>Controllers and tick the checkbox for Enable joystick input>Apply.

Make sure it's recognised in the PC with start>Control Panel>Hardware>Controllers. Assuming you want to use a controller for most games always have one plugged in before opening MAME. If you're feeling adventurous you can figure out the rest of the controls for yourself. Games aren't much use if you can't control them. Rom is in Available but when I launch the game I get a blue or green box that says there's some problems with the game.

In spite of this I have managed to help some Vista users by directing them to either MAME32 Plus Plus 0.119 or MAMEUI64. I'm on XP so Vista is really not my forte. Get the parent version and try again.Į) (Vista!) Some newbies also run into problems when they are on Vista and don't realise that most MAME versions are for XP or older OS. Clones are offset in the Grouped list and normally require the parent (original) version of the rom in order to work. Download any other necessary components and add them to the MAME roms folder as per instructions (see Q5 - Q8 for more detailed info on bios and CHD).ĭ) The game could be a clone. It's best to stick with the official releases which have no letter 'u' in the version number.Ĭ) The game could require other files like bios or CHD in order to work.

If it has a letter 'u' in the version number that's an intermediate update meant for MAME bug testers. One easy solution is to match MAME32 Plus Plus 0.119 with sites like romnation. Not all versions of MAME and roms are going to be compatible with each other. If there are missing files then there could be a mismatch between your version of MAME and the rom dumps in the zip file. Go right click>Audit to check for missing files. Rename the zip correctly and try again.ī) Open All Games in MAME and go to a game that you put in roms folder but doesn't show in Available. If, for whatever reason, the zip isn't named exactly as MAME expects then MAME can't see it.

Also check that the name of the rom zip file in the roms folder exactly matches the rom name in All Games.

In MAME go Options>Directories>Browse to the actual folder containing your roms>select it with OK then OK again to apply the setting. Check the following:Ī) Make sure the rom path is set to the correct folder.

There could be a few different reasons for this. I got the rom for Street Fighter III 3rd Strike but it doesn't work.Ĭan I use more controllers for multiplayer games? Is this the same for all games that need a bios? I got the rom for Metal Slug (or any other game for the Neo Geo MVS hardware) but it doesn't work. Rom is in Available but when I try and launch the game all I get is a red warning box and the game doesn't work. I did all that but some/all games are still not showing. I've also begun making my own MAME tutorial vids which can be found here: Hiero's MAME Video Tutorials.

Chris's MAME tutorial vids, including the ever popular How to Install MAME, and the highly instructive MAME32 Advanced Controls parts 1 & 2. The MAME/Configure guide at Strategy Wiki is a very useful reference for the main properties of MAME's Default Game Options menu. The game info at MAWS is an invaluable MAME resource for newcomers and veterans alike. Tons of in-depth info from the guys that actually build MAME. For any problems getting games to work with this version of MAME, please see my MAME32 Plus! Plus! 0.119 Compatibility Issues thread for further info. Since a lot of newbie's MAME problems stem from MAME version/rom version incompatibility, I recommend matching MAME32 Plus Plus 0.119 with romnation as a useful compatibility solution. If your a newbie then it's probably best to just read everything through from the start. Not all questions in this FAQ are stand alone. If a thorough search doesn't reveal anything then make a New Topic in MAME Help while paying due attention to the How to Use this Forum guidelines.
