XMAME Problem [rotox1.bin NOT FOUND]

Hi there,
I downloaded xmame-0.103and built it without any errors.
But it won't start, saying:

Code:



rotox1.bin  NOT FOUND

rotox2.bin  NOT FOUND

rotox3.bin  NOT FOUND

rotox4.bin  NOT FOUND

rotox5.bin  NOT FOUND

rotox6.bin  NOT FOUND

rotox7.bin  NOT FOUND

rotox8.bin  NOT FOUND

rotox9.bin  NOT FOUND

rotox10.bin  NOT FOUND

I also tried slackware bins, with the same result...

I also tried to run it using the -rompath option [/code]xmame.x11 xmame -rompath /root/MAME/mslug[/code]

But the result was that:

Code:

info: trying to parse: /usr/local/share/xmame/rc/nbamht1rc

info: trying to parse: /root/.xmame/rc/nbamht1rc

loading rom 0: mhtu2.bin

mhtu5.bin    NOT FOUND

mhtu54_v10.bin NOT FOUND

[......................]

Do you have any idea whats wrong?

Thanks

I also downloaded gxmame as front end, and used it with xmame.x11.
It doesn't see any rom in the rom dir, though I have about 7-8 of them...

:(

PS: I just tried to run it

Code:

mame.x11 /root/MAME/mslug

so this time found some of the missing files, still some are not there,,,

Code:

PSroot@argos:~# xmame.x11 /root/MAME/mslug

ERROR: required files are missing, the game cannot be run.

well, sorry for spamming, but I'm discovering thinks.

So.. I haven;t tried many roms yet, but the problems above have to do with metal slug in particular.
I tried Shadow dancer and some others and they ran fine...

So if it's possible tell some hints for gxmame that still don't see any rom in the rom dir, and how can I run metal slug (I installed xmame, only for this g-r-e-a-t-e game :) )

Sorry for the late reply; haven't checked this site in a while.
xmame needs to be told where the roms are located; in your case:
xmame.x11 -rompath /root/MAME mslug
Other than the metal slug roms, you also need the neogeo BIOS roms (neogeo.zip). Just email me at phulshof@xs4all.nl if you need a bit more direct help with this problem.

I have a similar problem.

How can I solve it? My env is Debian sarge 3.x testing.
xmame version is

Code:

xmame (x11) version 0.106 (Jul 8 2006)

and the execution command is

Code:

xmame -rompath ./path/to/rom.zip

Error is as below:

Your syntax is incorrect. Let's say you want to play gradius2, and your gradius2.zip is located in your /home/games/roms directory, your syntax would be:
xmame -rompath /home/games/roms gradius2

Also, just because you have a rom does not mean it is up to date with the version you are running. Roms go through many, many revisions to names and schemes. I had some roms from a few years ago, and 90% of them I had to get new ones because of the new schemes.

The first thing to do is see if the free rom that usually it looks for works. If it does, then you can start tracking down what happens next. It takes a bit to figure the curve, but what I do to test a rom is leave it in my home directory, go to my home directory, and type xmame -rp . romname where the romname is the rom I am testing. If it works, I move it to my roms directory and use kxmame to run the program normally.
