Vulcan Venture/Gradius II in MAMEUI .152
#319739 - 01/03/14 09:51 PM


I've updated MAMEUI to .152, and after testing my games out, I've come across a weird visual error for Vulcan Venture, otherwise known as Gradius II.

Essentially, whenever I play it, I keep seeing this:





A few more examples here.

Compare that to the images on this page.

Now, I realize that this particular game has been changed lately, which might explain it. Yet, I've tried versions of the ROM from four different sources, and I still get the same problem.

This is the message I get whenever I try to audit the game, and I think it's related:


Code:

vulcan      : 785f15.p13 (524288 bytes) - INCORRECT CHECKSUM:
EXPECTED: CRC(5bd239ac) SHA1(9c96f6069d06a1d80c04650ed56bc5e1508db657)
FOUND: CRC(af96aef3)
vulcan : 785f17.p16 (524288 bytes) - INCORRECT CHECKSUM:

FOUND: CRC(8fbec1a4)
vulcan : 785f16.p15 (524288 bytes) - INCORRECT CHECKSUM:

vulcan : 785f18.p18 (524288 bytes) - INCORRECT CHECKSUM:

FOUND: CRC(50d61e38)



So, is anyone else having this problem? I'm not really sure how to correct the checksum, if that is the problem; am I just not using the correct ROM file?

From SVN: http://git.redump.net/mame/commit/?id=f61e47b9cc526c6b2c2c0babb8870a13cc8a099d

So, yes, you need to find the properly redumped roms to run those games without graphical flaws in current MAME. You are on your own to find these.

You need the ROMs that were formerly part of the clone "gradius2".

Thank you for the quick replies!

Based on your answers, I replaced the incorrect-checksum files from vulcan.zip, with the analogous files in gradius2.zip. That ended up fixing the problem!

I found this, too.... new [Re: Timecrash]

and found it interesting it even worked. However, I knew it was a problematic set because the UI build I use tells you that roms is bad by [blank] icon type.
