scratch that found it seems like some one has done a full list of all mame roms including all the clones and diffrent releases so realy you dont have 2800 diffrent games you probably have around the 1500 or less when you removed all the prior versions of the games.

think i will put together a non cloned games list on my fineshed item so i dont have duplicate copys of every thing.

will studie the list to see if there are any good games i havent already added to my system.

would also wonder how some of the game included in the list will run properly as i struggled with some of the games on the list running under the 1.7ghz celeron chip after installing my p4 2.8ghz chip all games now run fine.

the xxxx in 1 puts out at 640x480 as thats what the systems set to do can be set up to other formats with a little bit of coding the 465 probably will do the same thing seeing as its produced at the same factory.

1069 in 1 runs unlocked windows and can be modified to do a whole host of trick things.
465 in 1 runs dongle protected linux and cannot be modified that easliy have herd roumors about people doing it but havent had any hard evedence.

just to let every one know have fixed the mk and nba jam issue i dumped the celron and added a P4 2.5Ghz 512 400 and all games now run right.

to find out more come over to the xxxx in 1 project www.xxxx-in-1.com

well i have had some major stress here at work with a mac catching fire in the built in monitor lol oh well time for my latest updates to my now 1285 in 1

seams like every one has gone quite here.

well going to figure out what is that max size i can install on it if its the last thing i do lol. going to find a 120 and see if i can get away with that.

just sorting out a new domain for the help site for all our findings. will be adding more games today if i get 5 mins now have the rom set nice and local and a good way of finding roms i think will let you lot know how it all pans out.

Later on.

having dificulty getting to see a bigger drive dident like the 400gb think i have cracked it using a 250gb drive instead will try in the morning  going to make a back up of the 60 gb one so i have a recovery image as i done too much to lose it now then will copy the image to the 250gb one and up the partition size to around the 200gb size and see what happens then going to add a full set of roms so i don't have to hunt the roms in the roms dir.

yup thats what they have done so follow any instructions written just always copy to the c:\filebak\whatever file path pointed to instead of d:\filebak\filepath\

and if that dont work would give tim a shout www.jammabords.com he has a updated hard drive for sale.

so how many roms does yours have on it as standard?

i think the reson for the 2 partitions is if a hard drive does fail some time it only destroys 1 partition and seeing as all the config is being retreaved of partition 2 thats the one which will have a file error but its all backed up with in the mame system as well so it could be restored with ease.

then again i have had hard drives set fire lose partition maps and alsorts think out of all the years exsperince as a server builder / networks manageer the one thing i say i back up back up back up.

talking of witch i have to make a new image of my drive just incase of any problems seeing as mine is now running 1222 games and a jukebox.

will be adding more after the week end.  Was thinking about copying a full 20 dvd rom set including chd files over to roms folder as then i wouldent have to faf around hunting for the roms in my direcorys then copying them over to the drive have already copyed over full set of snap dir so i dont have to hunt the .png .jpg.

also wondering if some one has a complete cfg folder as well then wouldent have to create cfg files for each added rom other wise you get the usal please enter ok thing every time unless you add them. might google that later on.

just had a look full rom set sitting around 79gb so if i was to install a 200+ gb hard drive would make sence and just remove non working games from the system. shame i have used a 500gb drive that i had kicking around for another project other wise would put that in and have my mp3 libray and all the roms as well mind probably get a 320gb or somthing like that see what happens later on.

if i did that then writing a game adding script wouldent be that hard i could write one in a macro senario that would just add the roms to the games list and the .bat file .ini files would be a time saving system would be alot of wasted data but with mame envolving all the time most of the games could be added over time then just remove the redunded roms and shrink drive back to right so no more can be added then creat a 3rd partition for interaction with the jukebox for mp3s cover art and anything else.
 
think i will be making a trip to pc world later on to get one.

lol did see that one no it was the the second one dont worry lol been a busy person today adding some more mame roms see the list havent tested them as yet i have coded the files just got to copy over the roms to my roms folder to test them all out later on today.

list is as follows oh bare in mind i have only made it to b so far will start c tommrow and im only adding radom games that i look the like of hehe.oh and the reason for the # is they show up at the top of the list wilst testing then i remove the # and they go in to alphabetical order.
