u can download the version of mame of that year from mames offical release archived from and see if the CRC of the failed file in question is actually listed in that version's -listcrc database. I don't know the exact number, but emu devs don't support roms untill they reach a certain age, so that'll be about the yr mame would start actual support for the rom. House Of The Dead 4 (Lindbergh) Works fine on Window 10 (1803) and TeknoParrot 1.86 (straight loaded) I run it with GameLoader (0.3.2.7) and TeknoParrot 1.81 X-MAS Special. If ur not but it failed anyway, u can see the origin date for the files(if u didn't modify them) in one of the columns, and just add ~5 to the yr. If ur missing files, thats ur first problem. File names can be ignored, mame doesn't use them to launch the game and they maybe mis named anyway. Just opening the "hotd" zipped archive in 7zip for example will show u the count in the bar at the bottom if u select all files (ctrl a) and it also shows the CRCs, just drag the crc column all the way left for easy viewing if its not so already. "C:\path\to\mame.exe" -listcrc "hotd" >D:\path\of\ur\choice\mame_crc_hotd.txtvs how many u actually have in the zip file(since a missing file is the same as a corrupt file), keep in mind mames list includes any necessary bios files for the rom also. Re: version missmatch what I would do is get the latest offical version of mame, verify the rom with it in command prompt, (replace the path names of course) example: a vauge suggestion would be try running the rom in ddraw mode instead of d3d or viseversa. and beyond mame for help, you'd have to post your system specs. The MAME Devs usually have a section for the version on their site as well as providing readme or what's new text files with the latest version that will tell you what is working and what isn't. First, familiarize yourself with the emulator, its version, and limitations. suffice it to say, its simpler to just use up to date files. imek - To save the staff here a little fatigue, I would like to suggest a few things. If your using a 3rd party GUI frontend for mame that may have an easyer way of telling you, I don't use them tho. I don't know if the hotd rom is version dependant regaurding the mame ver in question, some roms are some arn't. he sounds like a newb, so he probably did something stupid with the settings or his computer, which is probably why he didnt post what he did. I havn't used "hotd", but to answer ur question. u maybe using the same mame version IF thats the version u downloaded ? That thread says ~2007, Id assume ur not using the same stuff he is.
