Hey. Ok. Here is my setup so far. Mameui is installed in C:\Users\John\Downloads\temp\MameUI64 All accompanying directories related to mame are under that folder (/rom) ect. I have my games under the rom directory still in their zip files. I am attempting to run Gradius.zip from the UI. Its filename is Gradius (U) [!].nes and it is a 38k NES file. Oddly enough there is many different options for Gradius in the mame UI. I get different files missing depending on which I run. Here is one in particular error message: pch1-c-8t NOT FOUND. gr-u4 NOT FOUND. pch1-c.8p NOT FOUND gr-u2 NOT FOUND gr-u3 NOT FOUND security.prm NOT FOUND. any ideas?

ok so somehow I assumed that it would not run on win 7. I stand corrected. So, now I have downloaded the mameui, loaded same game zips into the /rom directory but they will not run. What happens is I run the game from the mameui console, and it pops up and tells me tons of files are missing. The files are .bin and .rom files. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? btw, it's all the games I have loaded, not just a single one. Thanks

Hey everyone. I am new to installing/running mame, and I could use some help. Currently I have Windows 7, and am using virtual PC to emulate Windows XP. Within XP I have installed mameui. When I attempt to load any of the games I get the message " Proposed video mode not supported on this device", "Unable to initialize Direct32". Anyone have any ideas on how to correct this. I've been reading about the topic on forums, but I find that making the display 32bit, or setting the command window to "Window" instead of "Full Screen" makes no difference despite what others have suggested may be the problem. I don't think it is that I am running a virtual pc bc others have the exact same problem. Also, I will mention that I have created the mame .ini file (as others have suggested) to no avail. Thanks for any help you can offer. -John
