Hi, I have tried playing this in MAME directly. I have the gp32 driver but the games are extremely lagging/jumpy. Regardless whether you have had this issue or not have you found more success using the MAME core through Retroarch than MAME directly? I tried playing it through Retroarch but Retroarch opens for a split second before closing. My files are zipped .smc and I have Retroarch selected to unzip zipped ROMs. My command line in Retroarch is -L "cores\mame_libretro.dll". The gp32 driver was in my MAME ROM folder, I also tried it in Retroarch's system folder zipped and unzipped just in case that was it but unfortunately no difference.

DrMaxwell Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 You obviously haven't set it up correctly. If it's closing then it's a bios issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lino11 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 So you're using the standard MAME emulator, not the core in Retroarch? I still can't get this to work, either in Retroarch or the regular emulator. I've got the 5 bios files. I added the "gp32 -memc" like suggested. Was there anything additional needed?

spycat Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Your gp32.zip romset should contain the following files: gp32100k.bin gp32156k.bin gp32157e.bin gp32166m.bin gp32mfv2.bin x2c32.jed While older MAME builds don't require the file x2c32.jed, newer ones (0.208 and onwards I think) do.

JoeViking245 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 @lino11 in the regular MAME emulator, what error message(s) are you getting? Maybe take a screen shot of that for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tallpr24 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 forgot to tell you, you have to edit your mame.ini to show where your roms are stored, unless you put your roms in the roms folder in mame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lino11 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Thanks so much for your help, @tallpr24. I was missing the x2c32.jed file in the bios. Also, it's important to rename the games to the MAME-preferred list and keep them in .zip format.... So Astonishia Story is astonish.zip.... Blue Angelo euro is blueangl.zip and so on... Is that right?? I couldn't get the games to work otherwise. Although, I can only really get the GP32 system to run to the main menu. Are any games actually loading up? Or what button on the keyboard do you press, I think I pressed #6 and it went to the MP3 screen. And then #3 or maybe #2 (it's slow and laggy) went to a CD screen. Couldn't find the "game" button. And I know this is a basically dead emulated system.... for anyone reading, you're not really gonna be able to play these games yet so it might not be worth your time to troubleshoot if you're at this point. However, if this system does get the tlc it needs to play smoothly, the whole library of games looks pretty cool (and is only like 400mb large). So it'd be nice to have in the archive.

tallpr24 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 thats interesting. I dint have to rename my roms, it just works. see my naming format, they are regular full names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lino11 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Yeah, that is odd. I double-checked again, and here's the error message MAME gives me if the games aren't named their respective "software name" -- like the github here has: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/hash/gp32.xml "The selected software is missing one or more required files. Please select a different software." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
