Looking good at first sight. When installed in Dutch it is not possible to download cards, (cannot obtain dustch catalog). Firtst change language and then download necessary cards.

MAME ROMs Update (updated to ClrMame Pro 2.86) O. INTRODUCTION This guide has been written to help solve common problems that arise when installing a new MAME release and we find out that some games stop working correctly. The information contained here has been verified using Windows 98, Windows 98SE and Windows 2000. There may be differences when using other operating systems. Any questions, suggestions, corrections or complaints should be directed to the author at 1.

TERMINOLOGY Before we start, let’s explain some terms we are going to use through this tutorial we must clearly keep in mind. Game: just what it says! Set: each of the versions of a game. Clone: version of a game different from the original.

Example: The game “1941 - Counter Attack” has 2 s ets, the main set: “1941 - Counter Attack (World)”; and a clone set: “1941 - Counter Attack (Japan)”. ROM: each of the files contained in a set. Example: In the game “1941 - Counter Attack”, the main set, “1941 - Counter Attack (World)”, contains the following ROMs. 41e_30.rom 41e_31.rom 41e_35.rom 41e_36.rom 41_09.rom 41_18.rom 41_19.rom 41_32.rom 41_gfx1.rom 41_gfx3.rom 41_gfx5.rom 41_gfx7.rom ROM set: self-explanatory; groups of ROMs that make a particular set. Example: The previous table is the ROM set for the set “1941 – Counter Attack (World)”. Usually, ROM sets are contained within ZIP files. Each set must be in an independent file (we will see later that this is not strictly necessary) with a particular name.

Continuing with our example, we can say that the two 1941 sets must be named 1941.zip (World) and 1941j.zip (Japan). ROM sets can also be stored in directories.

In this case, each set must be placed in an individual directory, where the name of the directory must be the same as the ZIP file. We are now going to see in more detail the different possibilities we have to store ROM sets. SPLIT / MERGE. What does this mean? MAME can store ROM sets in three different ways: Split / Not Merged Split / Merged Not Split In order to explain the differences, we will use the previous example: “1941 – Counter Attack”.

1941 - World ( main set) 1941 - Japan ( clone set) 41e_30.rom 4136.bin 41e_31.rom 4137.bin 41e_35.rom 4142.bin 41e_36.rom 4143.bin 41_09.rom 41_09.rom 41_18.rom 41_18.rom 41_19.rom 41_19.rom 41_32.rom 41_32.rom 41_gfx1.rom 41_gfx1.rom 41_gfx3.rom 41_gfx3.rom 41_gfx5.rom 41_gfx5.rom 41_gfx7.rom 41_gfx7.rom 2.1. Method 1: Split / Not Merged In the Split / Not Merged mode, there is an independent file for each ROM set, each containing all the required ROMs for the set. For our example, our two files would be: 1941.zip (containing de 12 ROMs in the left table column) and 1941j.zip (containing the 12 ROMs from the right column). Method 2: Split / Merged By examining the table it can be seen that the last 8 ROMs are identical for both sets. Storing the ROMs in Not Merged means that there will be unnecessary duplication of information, which just wastes storage space. MAME can solve this problem by erasing the duplicated ROMs from each of the clone sets and storing them only in the main set. This way the ROM sets in our example would look like.

1941 - World ( main set) 1941 - Japan ( clone set) 41e_30.rom 4136.bin 41e_31.rom 4137.bin 41e_35.rom 4142.bin 41e_36.rom 4143.bin 41_09.rom 41_18.rom 41_19.rom 41_32.rom 41_gfx1.rom 41_gfx3.rom 41_gfx5.rom 41_gfx7.rom This method reduces the size of the file 1941j.zip without any loss of information, because the ROMs we have erased are kept in the main set. This method is known as Split / Merged. Method 3: Not Split There is one final method: Not Split. If there was an independent file for each set, for MAME version 0.59 there would be a total of 3290 files (the number of sets for v0.59). To reduce that number, ROMs of different sets of a game can be stored in a single file (the main set). In our example, the file would contain.
