How do ya burn Mame4all with Bootdreams?

Post by Dream Project »

These is my for time using Emulators on Dreamcast.

I would like a tutorial please. (w/pics)

And need to know if the roms need to be zipped or unzipped and if there need to be taking out of the folder?

And for the love of God someone please tell me if Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Arcade Game (4 player version) works perfect & supports 4 players well in this emulator?

Sorry if I said this before but the last time that someone tried to guide me but I didn't understand them. Yes I admit I'm still a newbie.

Not sure if ROMs need to be zipped, but they sure work that way. BTW you'll need MAME 0.34b romsets.
TMNT runs pretty good iirc.

They go in /ROMS/ and should be zipped with the highest compression ("9" in ROMCenter)

He means MAME v35. MAME4All is based on that specific version of MAME and needs the correct ROMsets to recognize the games.

If you follow the links I posted above, you will see that all you need to do is to check your ROMs with ClrMamePro and this datfile:

ClrMamePro:

- Make a backup of your ROMs and start ClrMamePro and load the datfile. Then scan your ROMs and use them with MAME4All.

Thanks for the awesome tutorial. Using it I was able to get MAME4ALL running on the first attempt. Half my ROMs don't work, but thats a different matter. Just being able to play 1941, Gouls'n'Ghosts and Mega Twins in all their arcade perfection via my Dreamcast was great. Now I just need to track down some working romsets for the other games.

I am attempting to put together my own "Capcom Classics Collection" for Dreamcast.

P.S - I used Boot Dreams to make my disc.

Yeah, I did that.. Unless you mean something else by .sbi

I put both the extracted and non extracted files into the folder, and it didn't work either way.. I'm really confused over here..
