Ok, I want to start off by apologizing and making clear that I am a huge noob. I just got my Pi a little less than 3 months ago, and haven’t used it as much as I would have liked. So far, I’ve just set up some Dos Games and I want to get some MAME games on it. I downloaded some roms, put them in the mame folder, and each game appears twice in emulation station. One copy of the game looks like this:._Pacman and the other looks like this: Pacman. I click on them, and the one with the ._ in front sends me to the terminal, gives a quick message about MAME, and goes back to ES. If I click the other version, it gives me a message exactly like so:
035145:02 FILE NOT FOUND
035145:02 FILE NOT FOUND
ERROR: required files are missing, the g
ame cannot be run.
Complete with the g in game being cut off. Exactly the message I get. I’m assuming that the rom I found must be corrupt or something, but 5/7 of the games I downloaded give similar messages. One of the other games just sends me back to ES after briefly displaying the terminal, while the other one actually works. I’m a bit lost at this point… why is the one game working? Are all the others corrupt? They came off of a website where they were popular downloads and no one else reported problems, so I can’t imagine that’s the issue. Is there an extra step that I’m just missing? Thanks for your help and patience!
