nullPointer Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Like Draco, I also can't view that video (yet), but in terms of the game list you'll likely need to use a map file in order for game names to display properly. I don't believe the Naomi database is necessarily complete or accurate at this point.fRequEnCy has compiled a nice set of map files which could be just what the doctor ordered. I'd give that a shot and see where it gets you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverPower89 Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Just tried those new map files out.its a step in the right direction but after a few game they get out of order I click on marvel vs Capcom 2 it brings up another game a few spots down on the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco1962 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 The issue isn't necessarily that we cannot view it as we can except when at work web filters are in place (some of us try to assist during breaks, etc. while on the job) or from mobile devices with tiny screens.

DazzleHP Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Hi OverPower, i saw the vid The thing is, someone elses map file will only get you so far - unless you have the exact same roms named the exact same way as the person who created the original map file. One of the reasons i've never really bothered with Naomi is because there are multiple sets, and often they aren't even consistent within themselves That is why some of your games are displaying correctly and some are not. You will need to edit the map file yourself to include the roms that are not displaying correctly. They are pretty straight forward - just open it up in Notepad and have a look see Add your troublesome roms to the end of the file in the same manner as the rest and you should be good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverPower89 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 well outta 21 emulators this was the only one that gave me troubleso I consider myself lucky before I used maximus arcade and getting Naomi to work on that was even worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 There are a few map file creation applications here on the forum that make this much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazzleHP Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 well outta 21 emulators this was the only one that gave me troubleThis hobby takes a bit of elbow grease from time to time but the end result is usually worth the effort.Which is exactly why i personally haven't tackled Naomi yet (that sentence conjurs up a strange image in my head ). But as Riffman said, this is one of them hobbies when putting in the effort really pays off. In fact i'll bet once your list was sorted you spent at least a few minutes just scrolling through it with a sense of pride, didn't you dintcha!

fRequEnCy Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I've been away for awhile so haven't updated the map files to match the latest available dats. I'll have to take a look. Just put in a request and I'll take a look. I whip them out in a matter of seconds with personal tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
