getting my modded xbox back this week.
my buddy installed mameOX and a couple of roms but said he was getting an
error trying to run galaga.

i send him a rom from an older set and it worked.

is there a certain version rom set i need to get so I don't have
missing/incorrect rom problems?

can clrMamePro build a working romset for mameOX from a complete .88 set?

thanks in advance.

MAMEoX works very similar to MAME for pc. it is compiled to run a specific
version of mame roms. so to answer your question, clmamepro can rebuild a
working set for MAME .88 ...so it can rebuild a working set for MAMEoX .88
as both emulators use the same version numbering sequence (ie: version .88
roms would work for both MAME .88 and MAMEoX .88) Problem is, I believe
MAMEoX has stalled at version .84 ...so you'd need to get a copy of a MAME
.dat file for version .84 (or at least the mame.exe from version .84 so you
can create a dat) Once you have that, you should be able to rebuild a set
that'll work well with MAMEoX .84 assuming you have the latest version of
MAMEoX

thanks for the info.. i'll check out my version number and go from there.
i just REALLY wish i could figure an easy way to weed out games by type.
i really don't need all the mahjong games and adult games and games after
say... 1995-6-7... or pre galaxian (random guess) and such.
could probably end up shrinking the disk space required.. then again.. i
'do' have a 250 gig hd in the box.

I actually use mame-x ...support for it stalled out at v.61 ... the upside
is that i only had to remove 1 of the larger roms to fit the entire
collection on a single dvd... AND it has most of the games i'd play anyway
(similar to your interests).

It doesnt seem that any of the emu's for the box give ways to sort the
games unfortunately.
