Need help running a few games in MAMED!!!
Hey everybody, I haven't been here in a long time. I was enjoying the summer and have been spending the last month trying to get a GP32 system. Good times.
But now I finally got MAMED running on my DC, but it won't run pretty much every one of the maybe half a dozen games I actually wanted it for. The program itself seems to run fine, I put in disc one which is the frontend or whatever and then I load a pack, at which point I swap in my rom disc. But it doesn't play the few games I actually wanted MAMED for, and that's where I really need help.
Those are:
Mortal Kombat
Mortal Kombat 2
TMNT
Simpsons
Black Tiger
Aliens
Off the top of my head, that's it, and MAMED won't run any of these. I know that a lot of it is memory issues, and some of these may never work on my DC (if this is so, please tell me!). But I don't know if maybe I can get a newer version of MAMED, or maybe a different program, or what. I don't know what my options are, but if these games CAN be played on the DC, I need someone to tell me how.
On this site there's discussion of burning a self-boot TMNT or something. Can this also be done with any of the other games I listed? If so, here's where I need help: I have all these roms, and I have a version of MAMED that I got from a torrent. I have Discjuggler too, but I don't really know about this stuff. Is there a way I can make an image of these games myself, on a single disc each, that can play in my Dreamcast using MAMED (or any other program)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated- if I can get these games running then all my DC Mame needs are satisfied! Someone please PM me or tell me how (or if) I can do this!

Black Tiger might work, but the rest don't have a chance. They are all CPS2 games.
However, the good news is, there is a single game emulator for Simpsons and for TMNT. You can get SBI versions of those emulators over at Sbiffy!com

Thanks curt, I remember you helping me before.
So none of the other games (even Aliens?) will work, huh? Thanks for letting me know, I would've gone mad trying to find a way to play them.
What is CPS2 and why does it make them so hard to emulate? Just a specific and complex chipset?
Thanks though, I'll get to work on the other two!

I stand corrected.lackofsense wrote:none of those are CPS 2 games
it stands for Capcom Play System 2
it had stuff like marvel vs. capcom and Aliens vs. Predator arcade and many other games
Regardless, those games won't work with Mamed or Mamedc (or any other multi-game mame emulator for the DC).

theres no-one else to blameThe Prisoner - Makes NGE's ending look almost intelligible.

Methinks I was thinking of a later SF2 update, either way a classic that I think works
