Cheesegeezer 3086 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'm struggling to get mame setup in GameBrowser. It doesn't look right to me. I have Mame folder in my Games folder on the server, then I can see every folder under the sun that is in the Mame folder, and I'm pretty sure that it's just roms folder I need. Can anyone help me out please Thanks in advance Cheese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesegeezer 3086 Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 @@buddyweiser any help here please. I'm trying to set up a couple of emulators. I've followed the Guide in the KB (even tho a little out of date...... I get the idea) and the server isn't recognising anything (i've registered and entered my EmuMovies credentials) but i'm not even getting the gamesystem.xml when running the library scan. Here is my set up..... see if you can see any faults. I have configured my Game folder in my library which is Just F:\Games Lets look at PS2 for an example Server Side Library Structure MBC Config Not sure what i'm doing wrong, but any help would be appreciated.

Cheesegeezer 3086 Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Ignore that it was me being a numpty. My actual server Game library was pointing to G:\Games\Windows i've change it now and it has picked up Consoles now. But i'm still struggling with mame, or do I just drop my roms into the Mame X folder and let gb do the rest? I'll have a little more of a play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speechles 1917 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'd assume it's just the roms , since the rest are the emulator related files. The roms are .zip I assume? You might have to extract them all to folders for it to work correctly. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a little more of a play Sorry about the long reply bud, I'm not sure about Mame games, as I don't have any installed. And as for the PS2 emulator, I mine is actually misbehaving. I was working on tweaking all of my other emulators to work properly(and pre-configure my controller to work with each one automatically) before I looked into the PS2. What is it specifically you are seeing? Also, @@shaefurr might be able to shine some light on your Mame issue. I would think you would just have the roms in the designated mame folder(each in its own self-titled folder of course, if they work like other games that is) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there was a folder utility around, if not i could always write a programme to do it, but too busy with xenon to worry about that Yeah i got a couple of N64 roms and project64. Just checking that the data looks right for some of the console types in xenon. Its not a pressing issue regarding the roms, would just be nice to have them working too.

It's called file2folder if I remember correctly, you should be able to find it on cnet, and it is very simple to use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redshirt 1487 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 You shouldn't need to use file2folder with GB3. You should be able to just add your roms folder to MB and it'll handle them all being in the same folder. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't show up any games when I do this. Only when each game is in its own folder does sanything show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXSagaiaXx 24 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Never mind. It works. I didn't realize that you can do this for the Arcade roms but not for the console roms. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
