Classic arcade game Xevious MAME (PLEASE HELP)

[floyd73]

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum and just recently dug out my old MAME collection of thousands of games and installed it onto my Nvidia shield console. I managed to set up and play most of the classic games that I used to play in my teens, bubble bobble, shonobi, green beret, bomb jack etc.... and of all the games I really wanted to play and I used to spend a fortune on at the amusement arcades, was Xevious and I cant seem to get it to play.

I keep getting an error message "the selected machine is missing one or more required ROM or CHD images. Please select a different machine.

If someone can provide me with a working ROM, or point me in the right direction, you would really make my weekend.

I'm currently using MAME4droid (0.139u1) on my Nvidia shield console. At first I thought maybe there was an incompatibility error with the mame4droid emulator, so I then tried to run Xevious on my PC using two different versions of MAME, MAME 0.172 and the latest 0.182b and I still cant get it to play.

I have various ROM files for the same game, Xevious (namco), xevios, xevious atari etc.... and I get the same error message.

Any help and I would be forever grateful.

Have a great weekend all.

***Update*** When I look at the general info for Xevious (namco) parent it states that CHD file is NOT required.

Romset : xevious 1982, Namco
Driver is present
Overall: Working
Graphics : OK
Sound : OK

It just wont play.
