[LordVox]

you ever get that 37 dvd set?
the tiptonware site appears to be down right now.......

Site is back online & looks like a tempting deal.....

For the last couple of days, I've been testing the MAME ROMs that the PSP emu supports and finally made it through the entire list.

* OK: Plays with no defects that I noticed

Verified Working

pleiads - Pleiads (Tehkan) (OK)

Can someone tell me PLEASE, pretty please...please, please please (can you tell I am desperate?!) on how to get this in the list of Mame games using that emulator? When I view the games list, Pleiads isn't on there...

How have you managed to get a different games list inside that MAME emulator?

Pleiads is my childhood game. I am willing to lose a left leg to get it working on my PSP.

Any assistance would be great... thanks

Ironically, Pleiades is one of the few games I CAN play with this emulator. All I can recommend is that you download all the variations of the game (pleiadbl, pleiadce, and pleiads) and put them in a ROMS folder where your copy of MAME071t resides (on my system, it's ms0:\psp\game\pspmame\roms).

Fun fact: the designer of Pleiades, Tekhan, went on to become Tecmo, creator of such hits as Ninja Gaiden, Solomon's Key, and the rack-tacular Dead or Alive series.

Wow, didn't know that ArugulaZ - he was a genius from early on

Thanks for the tip - I thought the emulator just had a pre-set games list...didn't know it could read from the folder too and add them to the list of games ....

[ArugulaZ]

Who, Itadaki? He didn't start working for Tecmo until the mid 1990's. He's done a lot to keep the company in business, though, so I've gotta give him credit for that.

By the way, if you can't get your ROMs to work with MAME071t, they're probably outdated and you'll need to download fresh copies of them. I don't see WHY the MAME development team forces users to download slightly revised copies of games they already have, but it's an annoyance you'll have to put up with if you want the games to run on your PSP.

You know, I must have the wrong version of MAME... because that made no difference.....

I see a new one has 6 different versions... which one do I download to get Pleiades to work - and is it okay to ask for the pre-made eboot of this emulator I can just drag across to my PSP, as I am obviously too stupid to get this to work otherwise

Really need help... sorry....

[fatsausage]

Yeah, found out why, the above version people are talking about only works on 1.0 PSPs... PSPMame is the currently the only one working on 1.5 PSPs but it just plays a few games....

[Jdemon]

Well there are 3 diferent versions of Mame for PSP so far...

Mame 0.71r which is the one that doesn't seem to do too much on ver1.5. Not sure about 1.0 as I only have 1.5

Mame 0.71t aka XMame PSP which is the version this topic is for and there is a full listing for somewhere on here of what does and doesn't work.

PSPMame 0.96 this is the one that has 6 variations and the sweet Analog Stick control

anyway... for anyone having problems getting 0.71t or 0.96 running I have EZ files on my site. I will be updating in about 2-3 weeks as soon as I have some time on my hands...so if you're interested just keep watching my sig.

...and btw fatsausage Pleiades does work on 71t not sure about one of the .96 versions though...you should try my files

[slik da relic]

Oops...sorry to anyone having trouble d/l in the last 20-25 min...I was updating...done now

slik da relic - the MAME EMU's don't run all that big even at "FULL"
Hopefully someone will get them to run sideways like you can with the Namco Museum (Japan) UMD
