Hey im lost on how to get the games on my pimame to work please help anyone? so i went to the game uploader and put my game (metal slug 6.zip) on my pi in the roms folder where the test game is but when i go to the pi nothing shows ...so i did the same by going to the game uploader but this time i put the file in roms/mame4all subfile and went back to the pi and still nothing.... name is geo by the way
So, what probably happened is that that isn't the proper rom name that MAME is looking for. That is about as much as I can tell you because we can't talk about where or how to get rom files.
Mr. Google is your best friend... :) MAME4All is running "ROM sets Mame-0.37b5" and AdvanceMAME is running "ROM sets 0.106", the ROM zip file name must retain the correct format. This discussion is also very useful for your reference: http://pimame.org/forum/discussion/comment/479
