Hi all i just started reading about Mame and related stuff, so i might sound kinda noob so pardon me

Anyways i am a big fan of the kof series so i wanted to try to get 03 to work. i've downloaded the ROM as well as the neogeo.zip so next was dling Mame. I dled the MAME32 FX 0.123 MAME32 variant. and extracted everything, the ROM and neogeo and mame in one folder. opened the mame and couldnt really play anything, says i was missing roms so i was wondering if anyone can point out at me wut i did wrong.

Thx to all replying Smiley

Don't unzip the kof2003.zip or neogeo.zip files.

Make sure you put the kof2003.zip, and the neogeo.zip, STILL ZIPPED, into the ROMS folder.

/me attacks iq_132 with a Large Trout! I win

/me suicide bombs Robert! Epic win + 72 virgins.

Enjoy them sir!

Meh. Virgins are vastly overrated. Seventy-two experienced sluts would be well worth it.

Make sure you also choose the directory your zips are in from inside MAME.

Thanks to all who replied but when i open my MamEUIFX32, and find kof, it still says ROMS missing. When i click it, it says unable to create direct 3D Device (8876017C), unable to intitialize Direct3D, and unable to complete window cretion. and its not just for kof, all the games listed in my mame says roms are missing.

Make sure you are running direct-x 9 or higher

If you are using Vista , who knows what trouble it may cause.

Make sure your command prompt is set to windowed, not full screen.

and, make sure that if you double-click on your zip files, that they open without error.

Would reinstalling vid card drivers help?

billtab PM'd me qith questions, but as I'm about to leave on one of my 2-day breaks, I'll paste it here for others to offer advice...
