Alan Ribas Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) In the past few days I have updated all the emulators I have. Tedious but rewarding task. However, I had problems with the MAME emulator. Some systems just stopped working. I realized that the problem could be in the bios used to run the games. Because sometimes the mother's screen just appeared with the information saying "INITIALIZING", and then it closed. I updated the bios and everything was resolved, except for the PHILIPS CDI system. I downloaded numerous bios for this system but the games insist on not starting up. As in the photos attached to this post: Only appears : "INITIALIZING" or when the game is opened the philips CDI screen without CD appears. This is my command line: mame64.exe cdimono1 -cdrm "[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]" -keepaspect Mame Version: mame0220b_64bit can anybody help me? There are a few days that I am trying here but without success. It's not my laziness. GameEx.ini log.txt Edited May 29, 2020 by tthurman Moved: GameEx>General Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fRequEnCy Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Are you sure that your bios files match your MAME version? Also, please don't discuss how your bios files are obtained as this is against forum rules! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that I didn't find the bios pack updated in the latest version of MAME. and all the ones I downloaded didn't work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Did you get it working outside of GameEx? Sounds familiar. Could it be this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem described in that post was resolved after I got good roms. the PROBLEM now is that those roms that were working no longer work ... I couldn't get it to work outside of gameex.

Draco1962 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Not much that can be done there. This seems to happen with MAME where previously working ROMS stop working after a new version is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there were other people using this emulator I could be sure. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fRequEnCy Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Well have you ran your roms through a rom manager tool to verify that they match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco1962 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 There are a few. ROMLister and CLRMAMEPro come to mind. Search "ROM management" and check for yourself to see if they or others will work for you and the system you're attempting to emulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
