I don't know what is different with the 229 set, but as this is now the current MAME build could we get a bump to this version as well?

 

[rtw]

I'll do an update next week.

 

[rtw]

Updated to MAME 230 version.

What are you missing ?

What are you missing ?

Since there is a new set of mame 0.234
I was wondering if you have plan to update.

I’m not sure you’re understanding what the CPS2 multi is. This device attaches to an original CPS2 board and plays rom dumps on real hardware.

Mame is an emulator trying to mimic real hardware.
Updates to mame do not change the rom dumps, it only updates the way mame is trying to emulate real hardware.

The CPS2 Multi is not emulation. It’s a loader for real hardware. It’s what Mame is trying to get to. This multi has nothing to do with mame.

@opt2not droppin' science!

I think @rtw 's previous posts stating "updated to support MAME 0277" and "updated to support MAME 230" is the source of confusion here.

The CPS2 Multi Romset Generator assembles a CPS2 Multi ROM set by copying the appropriate files out of a MAME fileset. So the Romset Generator only needs to be updated if MAME changes their file layout in such a way that the CPS2 ROM files aren't located in the same locations as the prior versions.

I also update it if new CPS2 games are added to MAME.

Does this rom generator support hacked cps2 roms? I tried with patched rom and got file error.

 

[rtw]

it supports modified ROMs, but you must unpack all the needed files to a directory instead of a zip file.

Oh it doest support zip file!!!
I did not know that.
I will try with unpacked files. Thank you!!!

thanks so much for this program! I can finally play the colorblind version of puzzle fighter on original hardware!

 

[sugar4salt]

I am using your program with my hacked cps2 games. Tons of thanks to you!
Do you have any plan to release this for cps1 port? It would be super cool since cps1 multi just released.

 

[rtw]

The cps1 generator is a lot more complex, currently it cannot generate some of the sets correctly. I am looking into fixing this but that's a future task.
