ROMS not working

[Jeromebechaz]

I'm not sure on the rules about posting about ROMS but half the ones I have never work with GameEX, can anybody tell me why that is?

The forum rules and guidelines are here. We do not discuss where or how ROMs are obtained. If you have any doubts about whether something is OK to discuss, the best tact to take is not to discuss it.

Your request is very vague at best with a myriad of possibilities. What version of MAME are you using? Is everything working OK and running outside of GameEx? You should probably start by submitting a copy of your log.txt and gameex.ini file so we may quickly assist you. Please refer to this link for additional information.

What makes you think that the OP is even talking about Mame?

[Draco1962]

Good point. It is usually where most start and have the most issue.

[Jeromebechaz]

I'm using mame. But I'm new to it and don't really know where to go with it all.

But I will look if they just work with mame, and the version

First can I ask a question. Where can you find the version of the mame you have

Does 0.145.0.0 mean anything?

Yes. If you hover over the .exe the version will show up in a tooltip. Assuming that is what you did, your Mame version is 0.145. To make things even more complicated, for all of your games to work, your rom set version needs to match your Mame version. If you don't know what version your roms are, then you can use tools like ClearMamePro, or Rom Center to audit and fix your roms. Make a backup of your roms before using either tool.

Hopefully that will be enough information to get you started. Google is your friend if you need help with either of the rom tools mentioned.

Ok thankyou for your help

[Jeromebechaz]

I just don't understand where I can find those specific ones. Google doesn't seem to have the answers
