the Snes classic uses retroarch to run these arcade roms and if you get it to work on the PC it'll work on the snes classic. 'vintage' software from being lost and forgotten. technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents this important. The filenames have to be specific like for mame to load up the US ver the filename has to be sf2us or something like thatĪnyway, what i suggest doing is downloading retroarch for the PC. MAME’s purpose is to preserve decades of software history. You may have to rezip it to include all the parts and rename it to the US version. The Snes classic is different because each rom is placed in it's own separate folder so that's why some roms wont work. So the parent rom may be the European version, but if they drop the US ver which may just contain the extra parts to get the US ver to work where it has the euro ver along side it, it'll boot up but it won't load without the parent rom. ccouteiro said in Pulling my hair out about MAME.
Normally when people played them on the standalone Mame emulator there's a ROM folder that they just dump all their roms in. if it's a really small filesize, like if Street Fighter III US rom is only 100kb or something then it's not the full rom.
