That's quite a good spec netbook though, but average spec pc's and webbooks,netbooks there are issues. And the n900 comes under that bracket, That's why i thought it maybe worth trying an older version to test performances.

@Flandry

Thanks for considering it.

im a noob here, cant make mame work
I have installed mame not sdlmame. i gettin red error, No games found and check ini file config.text. Well i couldnt find those files ..

I did google for info, Is this new version reads MyDocs,roms from sd card only ?
is it true the only way ito make a rom works is to zip it with the appropriate bios? or can just the bios be zip or unzip in the roms folder ?

Did you get mame through app manager and which version have you got?

Also your roms folder should be in MyDocs (not in sd card) folder and each rom should be a zip file.

yes i got it from app manager i first installed sdlmame, uninstall and install only mame... i download it yesterday, so i think its the last version available.
i tried both, Mydocs in phone and sdcard and nothing.
And yes i have my roms zip .
i also have a list of bios zip and unzip.


Edit
Bazza

bueno, lo que pasa es que este emulador no lee, los roms en la memoria del movil, hay que mover la carpeta roms a la tarjeta de memoria.

Are you geting this screen when loaded?

Is not letting me printscn the error flag
no , what i get is a big reg square, saying no games found.please check the rompath specified in the name.ini file
if this is your first time using mame, please see the config.txt file in the docs directory for information on cofiguring MAME

It sounds as though you may have a conflict with the sdl mame install.

i would uninstall mame.

create a roms folder in MyDocs and put roms in there.

re-install mame and try it.

Let me know how you get on.

ok, should i get mame or sdlmame ?

And what about bios ?

Just get mame.

and don't worry about the bios for now, you add the bios to certain game zips to make them work most roms will work without the bios.

thank you bazza for your help, downloading now....
is it caps sensitive ? Roms or roms.. maybe is a stupid question lol
