Most of those didn't have parent roms (that I saw, anyway) or were the parent rom (ex: A Nightmare on Elm Street).Originally Posted by MasJ
When I loaded them into MAME they were either yellow (AD 2083) or red (everything else). MAME warned me that the files were "not working" (red) or incomplete (yellow). Trying to load the files resulted in an unplayable game every time. Some of the files crashed my system on top of being unplayable! The incomplete file said it was missing sound, but it wouldn't run at all.It was effectively broken.
I'm running 8 GB of RAM and had only Firefox and MAME loaded so I know it's not a lack of resources on my end. I just downloaded MAME last night so it's a clean install. MAME has been correctly configured with all folders and INI files accounted for. I even made sure I have the MAME 0.133 BIOS Pack and it didn't make a difference. I don't think I'm missing anything in MAME itself. This leaves the ROMS as the error.
