Mame-Mess will pick up my scv.zip bios in roms\mess\scv The Mame ini file does not have or need a setting specifically for Mess bios files. If neither of these options can help you with a system, then by all means see if Mess will do it.īear in mind that while the Mess systems list is large, not all work and some work without full support. Most systems can be handled very well using either RetroArch or standalone emulators.
I use the Mame style, renaming where I need to. Mess doesn't seem to be too fussy and it will accept the game zip in the full or shortname (Mame style) version. Usually you'll use 2 parameters, the system shortname followed by the media type.Īnd then add your games pointing LaunchBox to the game zips. Open your Mame Edit Emulator window and add the associated platform with it's own parameters. Say you decide to add a new LaunchBox Platform for say Super A'Can games to run with the Mess side of Mame. Once all done in Mame, setting things up in LaunchBox is straightforward. So the Super Cassette Vision bios is named scv.zip and it goes into the scv folder along with my SCV games. The bios is named after the system's shortname. Super Cassette Vision games need a bios file while Super A'Can games do not. Most systems need a Mess bios file unique to each system, but not all systems need a bios file. These subfolders match the system shortnames.įor the Funtech Super A'Can system I made a subfolder called supracan.įor my Epoch Super Cassette Vision games I added a folder named scv. In this mess folder I made subfolders for each system I wanted to add. When I decided to add Mess stuff I made a new folder inside the Mame roms folder and called it mess as I wanted to keep Mame and Mess stuff separate. The Mame Configuration Settings (ini) file, Core Search Path Options, rompath needs to be edited to know about any new paths. How you add your Mess stuff isn't too important as long as Mame is aware of where things are.
I'm using Mame 0.171 and so far only added 2 Mess systems, because I couldn't find an emulator for one and the other didn't have game saving in it's emulator. I'm a newcomer to Mess and just feeling my way about. Mess is integrated into Mame since version 0.162.
