Looking for a game
#391814 - 09/06/21 09:59 AM


Hi,
In the 80's i played an arcade game and i know it is in Mame but i cannot remember the name.
You had to drive a little car in a maze and you were followed by other cars. In order to stop them you had to let out smoke out of your exhaust. That was basically it But it was lots of fun. Does anyone remember which game this was ?

Rally X, by Namco. There's also New Rally X, from the same company.

There was also effectively a bootleg version for Commodore machines called Radar Rat Race.

That's the one ! Thanks ! However, when i load the rom into Mame 0.235 i get an error which says that a lot of rx.1 files are missing. How is that possible ?

All versions of Rally X work fine on MAME 0.235, missing files means your missing the ROM file or you have the wrong version of ROM set.



If all else fails, Burn the manual.

I see. Or the wrong version of Mame. I haven't played Mame in a long time. My ROMS are from 2002, so i was using an older version of Mame at the time, 0.6 i believe.

So older ROM files do not work on newer Mame versions ?

You will need https://github.com/mamedev/mame/releases/download/mame0235/mame0235lx.zip

and

clrmamepro because MAME doesn't have a rebuilding tool. https://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/#downloads

Also here is a guide on how to use it. https://mame.3feetunder.com/clrmamepro-quick-start-guide/

As for ROMS and CHDS. Just google what you looking for. We can't help you here.

For Windows only.



W11 Home 64-bit + Nobara OS / AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT / AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core 3.59 GHz / RAM 64 GB

If the dumps are found to have been incomplete or bad, they won't work in a newer version no.

(using an older version of MAME to match the ROMs is the wrong solution, the ROMs requirements will have changed for good reason)
