Mame/samples) and in your mame.ini change your sample path: Play galaga without sound samples and when you die your ship explodes without a sound.Who wants that!? So after you find the sound samples you put them in your folder (e.g With ot them you do not hear the sounds in the game. These are not emulated sounds per say but raw sound files called by mame at the appropriate time. With some older games you need what are called sound samples. Loading mame from a terminal MAME will spit out any errors of missing files and tell you mappy, rally X, ect.) so now you have them twice.or more.and it's a "waste of space". However, some of these files are in other namco games (e.x. Why not just put them all together? Well you can and mame will be happy and load fine. You need to have all the needed files in the zip and all te needed zip files.Įxample namco's Galaga you have galaga.zip but there are other files it needs (.zip) to start. Roms can be gotten singlely or in "update"packs. mame carpolo) in a terminal will start carpolo)įirst never unzip a rom unless you know what you are doing! MAME can not load an unzipped rom. Your mame now works! you can from a terminal start a game directly (which is how front ends like attract mode work) by typing mame. You can press enter to start a game or press esc to quit. You should see a blue box with a list of games you have. Now save the changes now type in your terminal mame and start it. You can erase the entire line up to but not including the word rompath. The rompath is the only thing we are worried about right now. Your mame.ini will look something like this: Now open the new mame.ini in your text editor. Press command+space bar and type terminal.Ĭode: mame -cc this will create a mame.ini file in the folder that you are in. (Normally in your mame folder to keep everything organized.) Now you'll need to open a terminal. Once you have found games, or roms, (you can get test roms here place them in your 'roms' directory. When you first start mame you will get an error stating no games found. Most front-ends use the command line version of mame.thus they act like a gui (graphical user interface)įirst this write up assumes that you have a folder called mame in your home folder (ex.
(Note: Tihs is written for basic mame and some knowledge of the "command line" is needed.
If you you have no clue what i am talking about go here MAME is very customizable and can be tweaked down to the last detail.įirst off we are going to assume that you know what mame is and have it installed. MAME is one of the easier emulators to set up.and can be the hardest to "get right". After all what is a arcade cabinet with out arcade games right? Thanks goes out to ladysephiroth for help with this!
