Parent roms are also denoted by the brick being to the left in the list. Once you have the parent rom of the game you wish to play, you can get Clones to play different versions of the game. Pale Green - Clones: This is the small bit of programming that seperates certain revisions of a game from others.
Wether it be different Country info, how many players allowed in a game, to actual whole other games based off of the original games programming. They will NOT work if you do not have the Parent file. They are not the whole game. Picture them as an add-on. Red - Not Working: This game does not work. It is not emulated by Mame. The info is there for the day that the rom info is perfected, the emu is updated to support it, ect. If it is labeled as Not Working, it is not your copy of the rom.

The most popular bios files are: CVS Bios cvs. Once you have the ones you need, put them in your Rom folder along with your other roms. Do not extract them! The next thing to do is to grab the parent rom of the games you wish to play.
If you want to play the different versions, grab the clones to accompany the parent rom of the game. All are just clumped together in the Rom folder. You can get a few legaly free roms from here , just to help you get started. I'm sure this is a common problem for first time users of Mame.

The update pack contains folders named after the rom zip. If a folder matches the name of a rom already in your collection, you just want to add the contents of the folder into the zip. If it's not there, you have to find out if the folder is a new game just added to Mame, or if the old game's rom zips have been renamed for the new emu release.

Thread starter markulous Start date Mar 14, I looked at a few different faqs and tried running a search for my answer but to no avail. I have currently about 17 games.
However, MAME will only show 15 for some reason. They are there because if I type in the name they appear. But I can't just scroll through the whole list of them for some reason. Is there any way to just view all the games I have without having to type it in?
I still really don't understand that program either. All my games run fine yet it says I have missing bios files and wrong named roms. I still can't view them Any help would be appreciated.

Now select the 'Available' folder from the left hand pane and it will display all the available games you have. Here is a list of the various bios roms mame uses for different types of game systems.
Acclaim PSX-acpsx. If you click the CHD folder in the left hand pane it will display a list of all games that require a CHD image as well as the rom. Clrmamepro can rename wrongly named roms and report any missing files but it cannot physically create any missing files. As always, all these files are subject to copyright and discussion on how or where they might be obtained is prohibited by this forums AUP.
Happy hunting. Thank you very much.
