Then let's get you a government grant to work on it

NE146: I'm still trying to figure out which ones. I can't be greedy, now. Bakasama "A bit" user unfriendly?

Nathan: The sound samples for Armor Attack worked, but not the ones for Star Castle. Bakasama: Are you saying you wrote it? SpiceWare: Thanks for those tips. Mirage: Thanks. NE146: Thanks. Gimme a bit to figure out which ones I want. This community makes me feel all warm and fuzzy:)

Okay, more errands to go and do...but I have changed the preferences back and will try those sound samples. Getting a disc with everything sounds good, too I went here, for another old chestnut, and none of these version so Bump n' Jump work: http://www.rom-world.com/search/?q=bump&am...&submit.y=0 I still don't know what made it suddenly work :/ Errands, will talk later...thanks again...this thread will be helpful to other Mac users and MAME noobs. Ah, Star Castle...if only there was a Cinematronics disc done by Digital Eclipse.

Yeah, it works! I did this: "I typed docastle in the search box on the site you listed and it came right up with a file for Mr. Do's Castle (set 1). Downloaded it and placed the ZIP file in the ROMs directory, ran an audit on the games and it worked when I selected Mr. Do's Castle (set 1) from the list." And it worked. I guess I got lucky with the Mr. Do you offered. I also went to the preferences and pointed EVERYTHING at the ROMs folder...dunno if it helped or not, but it worked I went back there, hunting for more games, and many of them so far, don't work. I also can't seem to get the sound working on Star Castle or Armor Attack. But, Phoenix worked, and so did 1942, and another old fave, The End. Well, MAMEOSX is working, not perfectly, but it's working. That giant list it comes with is a pain. I can't say for sure what made it start up, as after Mr. Do worked, then 1942 worked, too, afterwards Thanks to everybody here It's still really user unfriendly

Thanks. I gotta run a couple errands, but I'm gonna give that a try.

Just read the "parent sets" comment. So, this website, with all these ROMs... http://www.rom-world.com/ ...it's useless? I went to the preferences, and for "disk images, samples, and artwork," I switched those all the "ROMs" too. Hit refresh, did a search...didn't work. So...what's the point of this? There are websites with loads of ROMs, but there are no parent ROMs to go with them? What are you supposed to do, then? Is there a website which offers ROMs that are the parents...which have parents...ARRRGH! I don't even know what to ask for!

Well, there's 10 games in my ROMs folder, which is in the mame foler, in my application support, in my library. No good games show up. I do a "refresh" and they don't show up. I search for them, and they don't show up, and I did a search and there is only one "roms" folder, and that's the one in the mame thing. Dunno what to do

Thanks. My "good" list is empty, even though I put three games in the ROMs file. I will go to this thread: http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/10/11/how-t...-games-in-os-x/ find their link to the ROMs. get a bunch, and put them in the ROMs file, because it seems the three games I have must be invalid

Thanks again. I'm trying... Here's the path...library, application support mameOSX, roms. I go to preferences of mameOSX, and tell it to get it from the ROMs folder which is in the hard drive... Won't work

Argh! Found this nice thread: http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/10/11/how-t...-games-in-os-x/ Still doesn't work.

I appreciate you guys trying to help. Kripto, you may be my best bet, if you use Mac.

Nathan: I appreciate you sending me to the support forum, but that place is a bit of a mess. I did read some of it, though, and it seems that MacMame, MameOSX whatever just doesn't work. I have the computer, I download it...it doesn't work. They're talking about clones and parents and stuff and I can't figure it all out. The MameOSX website does not offer a step-by-step guide to making it work. I don't know why anybody would create it, if it's so hard to use. I did copy the app to my hard drive, opened it, and it doesn't work. I copied the whole folder thing, and tried to add games to it, and it rejects them, right from the hard drive. I'll wait for a couple more responses and go back to ignoring MAME for Mac. If I want those games, I gotta get a PC like everybody else :/ Thanks anyway, though

I'm still poking through it. Some games load 100%, then I still get the error message. It's a wicked list of games...sure wish they worked.

Dowloaded...opened. Got a TON of games to go with it. It did an audit for about 20 minutes of all the games. Select. Try it. I get error messages. For all of them. Are the games all bad? I tried to add one I had, and where does it go? The folder rejects it. Can anybody still wanna help

Downloading...on dialup Will let you know how it goes. Thanks

I have never been able to get MAME to work on my old G3. But, now, with my Mac Mini core solo Intel chip, with Mac OSX 10.4.5, it seems I still can't get the darn thing to work. I downloaded a MacMAME that requires OSX 10.2. Fine, I have better than that. I got five games, and followed the directions, put them in the ROM folder, as instructed. Quit. Restart. Select. Play. Won't work. Tried all the rest, won't work I searched here, and only found this thread, from 2003: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...&hl=macmame So, is there anybody here who can tell me where to get a MacMAME that works, or, do they have something that works for them, or whatever

Darn...I haven't been here for months, and it seems the FB3 is somewhat stalled

Haven't been around for awhile...hope the FB3 is still being worked on. 5200 or 7800? Blech I'd like a 400. So dang cool What's that 6000 thing? Somebody's idea here, or part of the Atari concept history? No matter what, if Curt's doing it, then it'll be good. Still lovin' my FB2 with Combat.

I give up on these "experts'" lists. My best albums of all time look nothing like that of the mainstream media. I love Combat......but there's no Atari geeks around here to play with Pac Man should be in there. What's that Soccer Game? Jeez, that imagic documentary makes me wish Atari ruled again. Great little system, gosh darnit (I reckon that's an understatement here).

FFVII was the first one for me. STILL my reasoning behind why the PSX 1 was all we need. Played nice emus of Atari 2600 and 80s arcade stuff, plus did other great things. PS2? Better graphics and a DVD player. Meh. PS3? Photorealism...so what? It costs $700 in Canada. FFVIII was a love story with no love, and creepy 3D characters. FFIX was back to a winning formula in a way, but it didn't move me like FFVII did.

If anybody finds a place to download an mpeg or a wmv, lemme know. EDIT: Please. I forgot to include "please."

Original. I memorized the pattern books...don't ask me how.

I bought the FB2 and even posted pics of it in a shopping cart outside of Zellers. I said it and I did it, and I WILL buy this item, too! Makes for an even BETTER gift, too! Although I LOVE the FB2, a smaller item would be better for casual gamers... ...until we make them... ...one of US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My first thought was the original, but then I had to be smartass and vote for II. Both are great, though :/
