Help needded : how to add Sega Model 2 Emulator

[g002ahe]

Hi,

I would like to add sega model 2 emulator to my list of emulators. I already have it set up within mame but that does not seem to work for all games ( for example i cannot get daytona games to appear on the mame list)

can anyone help me with this?

do i need a cfg?

[Circo]

I think thats because many of the model 2 games or in Non Working status within Mame, try setting it up with the model 2 emulator

That is what I am asking - I need help setting it up as a stand alone emulator ( ie not in mame).

where do i start? has anyone a config file?

I don't, but it shouldn't be that difficult to set up. The command line is just:

emulator.exe [ROM]

This is a pretty easy one.

Oh yeah, that reminds me. If you are using a multi-core PC, you should definitely opt for emulator_multicpu.exe over emulator.exe (for obvious reasons ). Also, the database will give you an error if you just use this config. You will need to edit that to point to "[Arcade] MAME.mdb" and you should be good!

Are there other emulators that have multi-core options? I knew Mame did but I did not know that any other emulators offered Multi-core support.

Thanks for your help.

its now working except that the games come up in the list as their rom names eg daytona93 rather than Daytona USA '93 and there is no artwork, text etc.

Any thoughts on what i did wrong?

Ive checked the paths

A map file is required for this emulator to display the names correctly. I've posted it here for you.

As far as your artwork, just verify that you do have images for these ROMS. I had to use an alternative artwork pack for this emulator as there were no images for these ROMS in the MAMEUI screen collections.

Yeah, I should have pointed that out. I added (er, hacked together) a few entries to the MAME database (hence the "edited" moniker) in order to resolve the rom names issue above. Actually didn't realize this is something map files could be used for, but at this point it's working so I'm inclined to leave well enough alone.
