YES!!!!!!!!! ME BEEN WAITING 4 THIS!!! Thanks

**kettle** · May 15th, 2006, 01:40

cant u add ur own roms in it ?

**DrSarcasmo** · May 15th, 2006, 02:11

I'm running Eboot loader .9 on a 2.0 PSP. I can get the emu to see the zipped ROMS and they are in the MAMEPSP directory, but when I try to execute them I reads the zip and then gives me a list claiming the files are not in the zip, which they are. The roms are Dloaded from the site that MikeDX has suggested...

Any Ideas what's wrong?

Thanks!

Thanks MikeDx!!
I've been looking forward to this more than anything.
I'll have to check it out as soon as I get some free time.
Awesome

**moogster66** · May 15th, 2006, 02:28

Same is happening to me. Dloaded from same site that was suggested, states files are missing.

**Jay_PSP** · May 15th, 2006, 02:32

Thanks for the release!

To get it to work just add a roms directory to the path like below:

X:\PSP\GAME\MAMEPSP\roms (where X is your PSP)

Be great if just the installed games would show?

**Vega** · May 15th, 2006, 02:59

erm, i added street fighter 2 champ. edition and it doesnt show up on the roms list. I have created the roms folder as described. Does this emu only support the games listed in the README ?

**isotropy** · May 15th, 2006, 03:30

I'm trying to get robotron to work, but its' saying files "decoder.4 and decoder.6" are not found. These files aren't in the zip file that I dloaded. Any idea where I can find these?

Thanks! I really want to play robotron! it's my favourite game
