Adding MAME folders

Postby davesally5 » Mon Sep 11, 2017 10:52 am

Firstly just like to say this service is quality , I am new to this but can’t believe it’s taken me so long to get involved!

I recently got a NVidia shield and have managed to get snes, Sega and some PS1 games running okay , but having problems with MAME.

I followed the instructions (as far as I know) downloaded the 16 rar files on the retromania members roms page. I then opened up part 1 of the 16 and extracted that file via ES explorer. I then went into manage folders , selected MAME selected 2014 , and then saved the folder into my roms, Mame and then saved into the folder 2014 . I left the remaining folders all zipped but all in the same Mame folder

When I click on MAME system it only shows 2 old looking games.

Any advice please , obviously I am doing something wrong lol

Please, post a shot from:

* The MAME games in RetroX as shown now.
* Manage Games -> Folders
* The folder where you have the games, either browsing inside RetroX or using ES Explorer, so we can se the files on it

Ok, two more shots:

* Settings -> Diagnostics -> Device Info
* A shot inside that additional mame folder.

Ok, your files are at a different location (mame/mame.part01/mame/2014) and not in mame/mame.

Make sure to point RetroX to the right folder, where your .7z individual files are stored.
