Mame 0 153 Rom Set Up

So you want to play arcade games on your PC? Getting started with MAME is not easy for the average Joe. There is a lot to learn. Where do you put the game files? What commands do you use? How do you get the joystick working? Here’s a mini guide for those that just want to quickly get up and running with MAME for Windows.

1. Download MAME Binaries.
2. Extract the files. When prompted for a directory, provide a folder you wish to extract the files to. In this example, we use “C:mame“.
3. You will want to download roms to use with MAME. You can search roms for almost any arcade game, however it may not be legal for you to use many of them. You can always get legal ROMS like we did.
4. When you download MAME Roms, they come in ZIP format. You do not need to extract them. Leave them zipped and place them in the “C:mameroms” folder.
5. Bring up a DOS command prompt. To do so click “Start” > “Run” and type “CMD“.
6. Type “cd” to go to the root directory.
7. Type “cd mame” to go into the “C:mame” folder.

Now to start mame, you type mame, then a space, then the game file you want to use:

• Example: mame robby

Apr 07, 2014  MAME 0.153 was released on 7 April 2014. Graphics layouts can now reference shared RAM regions by tag the same way as ROM regions, eliminating the need to set up RAM-based graphics manually (note that drivers/devices are still responsible for marking gfx elements dirty when the RAM they are decoded from is written to). Iq132 and David. Handling and updating of ROMs and Sets used in MAME is probably the biggest area of confusion and frustration that MAME users will run into. This section aims to clear up a lot of the most common questions and cover simple details you’ll need to know to use MAME effectively. Let’s start with a simple definition of what a ROM is.

If you have a joystick or gamepad you wish to use, you have to use the -joystick switch:

• Example: mame robby -joystick

Now the game rom should run.

1. To insert a quarter, press 5.
2. For 1 player, press 1. For 2 players, press 2.
3. P pauses the rom.
4. You can press Tab to access the options in MAME.

MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. When used in conjunction with an arcade game's data files (ROMs, CHDs, samples, etc.), MAME attempts to reproduce that game as faithfully as possible on a more modern general-purpose system. MAME can currently emulate many thousands of classic arcade video games from the the very earliest CPU-based systems to much more modern 3D platforms.

The ROM and CHD images that MAME requires are 'dumped' from arcade games' original circuit-board ROM chips, hard disks, and CD-ROMs. MAME becomes the 'hardware' for the games, taking the place of their original CPUs and support chips. Therefore, these games are NOT ports or rewrites, but the actual, original games that appeared in arcades, complete with all the bugs, glitches, slowdowns, and subtleties of the original game as it appeared in the arcade.

MAME's purpose is to preserve these decades of video-game history. As gaming technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents these important 'vintage' games from being lost and forgotten. This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions. The source code to MAME serves as this documentation. The fact that the games are playable serves primarily to validate the accuracy of the documentation (how else can you prove that you have recreated the hardware faithfully)?

Free ROM images are available at the developer's website.

Pros: Does what it says it does--If you know what you're doing and If you've got the necessary (unsupplied) ROM files. In actuality you need a front end program (unsupplied) to really use this. There are Many version of MAME and my favorite was Win-32's which has recently been discontinued in favor of 64 bit (see below). That, said and done, if you've got the ROM files you've got an old arcade goer's dream come true--payback time for all those quarters you pumped into machines back in the 80s!

Cons: Within the past couple years MAME's become a bloated Nightmare of add-ons and endless 'junk' games which will Never run but they're pointlessly there anyway. My biggest problem is that the newest versions only Fully support 64 bit machines. And--the biggie--sometime recently someone decided to Merge the PinMAME pinball emulators with this. That is, Pinball Machines and electromechanical fruit machines were added, like a million of them. I've nothing against pinball, mind you, but there's a difference between Emulation and Simulation (a rule Broken by the MAME developers) and furthermore--None of the pinball machines are in the least Playable on MAME and this is probably the reason why the 32-bit version of this program Stopped being released. What we have here is a command-line type emulator that should be better than it is, as in being more user-friendly. Furthermore the bottom line of all emulators is that they're worthless unless you have the original ROMs to run on them, which opens up an entirely new door.. What's really annoying is that every couple weeks new version of the emulator are released which involves Renaming entire sets of files, which usually requires a ROM Manager program which is hell to use unless you know what you're doing. So it's one thing piled upon another piled upon another, getting more and more complex and confusing! I've been using MAME for a decade now and it's really gotten out of hand..a bloated, overcomplicated mess!
