MAME4ALL romset is a MAME 0.34/0.35 romset based.
Others romset, like newest MAMEs, is not valid. See MAME GP2X website.
The best method is copy to /roms all MAME GP2X zipped roms except NeoGeo roms.
Also it is good idea to use Windows version available for testing romset.

System 16 and CPS1 in the same package!!
Unbelieveable! I've wanted this for so long.

My apologies Chui if I contradict one of your policies by asking, but is such a project possible, and would you ever think about porting it to the PSP?

Right now there are some people trying to work on MAME it seems, but from what I've read your prefetch ideas, etc. are the key to getting this stuff to work on something with such small ram like the PSP.

In any case I'm going to have to try this bad boy out the second I get some time.

Thanks

PS. One noob question here. When I burn this can I put all three files on one disc, or do I have do burn a different disc for each version of MAME?

For example: Root/gold
Root/Roms

or is
Root/gold
Root/aged
Root/classic
Root/Roms

okay?

Its a preliminar version for testing, so you need toast a diferent cd for each mame4all.
The cdrom must be:
/1st_read.bin
/ip.bin
/roms/*.zip

At future, i want build a intro/menu for select mame4all before.
But today, maybe the best solution its use a elf/bin loader.

About PSP, i am not interesting it, but source code is avalaible at MAME4ALL site.

Thank you for replying to my inquiry.

It's disheartening to hear that you aren't interested in the PSP, because it seems like you have the most talent with this type of program, but hopefully some other PSP programmers are inspired and take up the challenge.

I'll get down to testing some games tomorrow and hopefully be able to post my results soon. Should we post our results here?

Once again thanks for making such a cool program.
