Click the "Installing CHD Files" on the left side of the page here:
answer --- To do a true verification you have to use ClrMamePro. MAME releases some games not perfectly working in hopes of other developers will get them going. To find out what games work or don't work you have to look at an official game list http://www.mameworld.net/maws/gamelist.txt and checking out the whatsnew sections for new titles.
3.) Are your sets very organized?
answer -- Yes!
MAME - roms are in there own folder. snapshots, marquees, control panels... etc. are all in their own folder, ready to drop right into mame32 folder or whatever emulator you use.
Console Sets - Every console set comes with the GoodTools program that verifies it along with the have and miss lists.
4.) Where do I get emulators for mame and console roms at?
Zophar's Domain has a great selection and even explains which emulators are good and bad
Arcade@Home Emulators for arcade roms
Arcade@Home Emulators for console roms
Redump.Emubase.de MAME Emulators (custom builds)
5.) What are the new games for the
current version? 6.) Simpsons Bowling has an error, BAD
EEPROM? To play this game you have to have three files
simpbowl.zip
konamigv.zip
simpbowl.chd You have to
tell the game to run in service mode When the
error shows up hold F2 and tap F3. Do not let go of F2. This
will reboot the arcade and run in service mode. This only has to be
done one time, the machine remains in service mode. 7.)
Final Burn Alpha: How do I change the
button configuration (keyboard remapping)?
The following tutorial was submitted by T.Scoma
These instructions along with the .ini file can be downloaded on the
downloads page here To
create the default key mappings for all games in Final Burn Alpha. 1)
Select 'Game', 'Load Game'. 2)
Choose a 6 button game like X-Men vs. Street Fighter, click on 'OK' button. 3) Press
'F5' to bring up 'Map Game Inputs' window. 4)
Change whatever key mappings you want to change by double-clicking and pressing
the new key to be mapped, and click on 'OK' button when finished. 5)
Select 'Game', 'Exit Emulator'. 6) Go to
the following hard drive letter/path that you installed Final_Burn to: ex D: drive... D:\Final_Burn\config\games\ 7) Open
the game .ini that you remapped the keys for in NotePad...
ex X-Men vs Street Fighter D:\Final_Burn\config\games\xmvsfur1.ini 8) Using
NotePad, you can see the hex 'switch' values for the keys you selected. 9) Copy
the included file '6button.ini' to the following Final_Burn directory" ex D: drive... D:\Final_Burn\config\presets\6button.ini 9) Open
the file you just copied in another NotePad instance. 10) The
'6button.ini' file uses the generic key references rather than each specific
game key reference. Use the hex switch values from the games .ini file that you
opened first to modify the hex switch values in the '6button.ini' file. My
mappings from the '6button.ini' are as follows:
input "P1 Left" 11) Save
your changes to the '6button.ini' file. 12) Go
to the following hard drive letter/path that you installed Final_Burn to and
delete ANY and ALL files in that subdirectory:
ex D: drive... D:\Final_Burn\config\games\*.* 13) Fire
up Final Burn Alpha again if you closed it. 14) Load
up the same game you originally remapped (or another 6 button game)... ex. X-Men
vs. Street Fighter. 15)
Press F5 to bring up the 'Map Game Inputs' window. 16)
Click the leftmost down arrow in the "Make selection in all three drop-down
windows,
click appropriate button." 17)
Select 'Player 0' (yes, Player 0 really means Player 1 settings). 18)
Select '6 button' at the middle down arrow. 19)
Click 'Make default' button. This should change the key mappings for Player 1
to your custom mappings. 20) Go
back to Steps 16-19 except choose 'Player 1' in Step 17 this time. 21) Your
default key mappings for Player 1 and Player 2 should now be set for all games,
regardless of the number of buttons the game uses. 22)
Click 'OK' button to close 'Map Game Inputs' window. 23) If
you open any other games, your custom key mappings should be set already.
