RetroFE forums

thanks for help, have got the sms roms running now doing as you suggested

please ignore my last question above about renaming artwork, i shall do it on per game basis

i have another question but will post as another topic

cheers

thanks for your input, much appreciated

so only the sms setup is badly configured ?, typical, its the only romset i even bothered with !,
so if i try other systems they may just run as is ?, not that im interested in most other systems ( always been a sms user only cos of old forgotten stuff like fantasy zone 3 the maze, nowt like it on any other system ), but its worth having a go just to see if they run ?

unfortunately it all sounds too complicated for me so i think i will have to abandon it all before i throw my laptop out of the window in anger.

i may have a go at your suggestions but it might as well be in another language for all i understand !




just as an aside, and you are well within your rights to tell me to get stuffed, but could you edit my settings file ? and then i just replace it back into my setup

yes there is a include me txt file, and the rom names listed in it match the roms i have placed here--

retrofe\Roms\\Sega Master System

retrofe deffo searches this location for the roms, and the roms are there, with correct names, but retrofe keeps saying rom not found

hi,
i have spent many frustrating days trying to get retrofe to recognise my roms

my roms are the compatible 'no intro' sets and are in the correct folders according to retrofe paths, but every time no game will sttart and i get this error according to log file----

i have tried putting the roms in every nook and cranny of my retrofe installation, and i can confirm retroarch runs the roms ok outside of retrofe, but retrofe will not run anything except the single built in rom in the mame directory

i am totally stumped

i have enclosed the full log file and the settings conf

cheers
