After what could be hours of waiting, you will still have an empty list in front of you.

For example, good luck trying to automatically scan a folder filled with games for Sony’s first PlayStation in compressed PBP format. Does your collection span multiple systems with large ROMs (like the Playstation, Gamecube, or anything newer)? In such scenarios, this “scanning” can eat up your whole evening.Īn additional problem is that Retroarch can’t recognize many popular formats, even if its own cores support them. Unfortunately, when dealing with extensive ROM collections, scanning a directory filled with ROMs to detect the games automatically can take a lot of time. That, though, defeats its very purpose, to be a frontend for hundreds of games on different systems.

Retroarch’s game detection and playlist update features are great if you are using it to play around a dozen ROMs. With High performance selected, your CPU will stop unnecessarily throttling your games. Go to “Windows Control Panel -> Power Options,” then change the “Preferred plan” to “High performance.” This option may be hiding under “Show additional plans,” which you may have to click to see it. No matter which graphical settings you change, the game suffers a “dragging” effect on both video and sound that makes it extremely unpleasant to play.Īfter much poking around and futile settings tweaks, we found the solution in the simplest of places – Windows Power Options. These two issues often go hand in hand, and you may have experienced them in particular on some of the more demanding cores like the Vulkan-based PS1 core Beetle PSX HW.

It will work with the Vulkan driver (using very accurate if low-resolution N64 graphics).

Other problems I'm having are simply getting other games to work (SFIII, SFIII: DI, SVC Chaos, Metal Slug 5, KoF2003) but I guess that has to do w/ the version of games and the out-of-date MAME.Next, quit Retroarch and reopen it, go to “Settings -> Drivers -> Video” and change the driver to “vulkan.” Now, open a ROM using the ParaLLel 64 core. I'm having better luck with MAME OS X but it is still running extremely slow!! Any help on either issue would be GREATLY appreciated!!! At first I tried using MacMAME but the game would literally move at only a frame every 30 seconds. I installed the CHDs for both in the correct folder. I'm also having this same issue, only much MUCH worse, with the Killer Instinct and Killer Instinct 2 ROMs.

Any ideas and/or tips on how to fix this issue? Basically when finally getting SFIII: 3rd Strike to run and 'installing' the CD, the game runs very slow and choppy. Running MAME OSX 0.135 and I'm on a pretty up-to-date system (3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB of RAM) so I doubt it's a hardware issue on my end. I'm having similar problems with Street Fighter III and some other ROMs also. I am trying to open the game highlighted: Here are some pictures to help explain this more clearly: I also tried putting them in the roms folder as unzipped files and I still get the error. I have tryed putting both the files in one zip and was told the same error. So the right files are there yet it still says it cannot find the cap-33s-2.chd file. These are the files I have put in this roms folder: So I put them in library>application support>Mame OSX>ROMS. zip files of the rom in the roms directory. I have looked for help in other places and it tells me I need to put the. I look there and it tells me this:ĮRROR: required files are missing, the game cannot be run. Here's the problem when I try and open the game (Street Fighter III) it tells me that some of the files were missing and that I should look in the log window. I have downloaded the program MAME OSX in an effort to try and run some arcade games, a feature that I was always jealous of Windows users. I am working on an IMAC Intel Core duo processor G5.
