Funtech Super A'Can emulation

Hi
I try to set-up MAME for a friend in order to play "funtech super a'can" games.
I use MAME 0.258 on Windows 10. I try to test the games via command line.
I type:
Code:
mame supracan -cart roms/supracan/monopoly.zip
After command execution I get an error said that there are BIOS files missing
Code:
internal_68k.bin NOT FOUND (tried in supracan)
internal_6502_1.bin NOT FOUND (NO GOOD DUMP KNOWN) (tried in supracan)
internal_6502_2.bin NOT FOUND (NO GOOD DUMP KNOWN) (tried in supracan)
Fatal error: Required files are missing, the machine cannot be run.
I try for more than 2 days searching around and reading for more information.
Due to the fact that "funtech super a'can" emulation is not wide spread I can't find many information
A few articles said that MAME doesn't need BIOS files in order to emulate "funtech super a'can".
I search for bios files without success.
I read somewhere that I need the "supracan.zip" file which contain the bios files, but it is impossible to find it searching the net.
Any ideas? Does anyone had success emulating "funtech super a'can"?
Where I have to search? What I have to do?

You need the "supracan" file in your roms directory first. This is the bios file you are missing. The other 2 have not been dumped properly yet.
Then you need the "monopoly" rom file.
FWIW, some of those games do not work properly.
Good Luck!

Pessimist: Oh, this can't get any worse!
Optimist: Yes, it can!

Thank you for your answer.
the "Monopoly" rom is already on the "roms/supracan" directory.
I don't get error from this.
I already mention that my problem is that I can't find the bios nowhere!!!!
Furthermore, although you wrote that I need the bios, many mentions around the net said that no bios is needed for this emulation.
Are you familiar with Funtech Super A'Can emulation on MAME?
Did you try it? If yes where did you find the bios?

Both the superacan. zip file and the file of Monopoly should be together in the same folder…not in separate folders.
This should work since both files are kept in the same folder.
roms/superacan.zip
roms/monopoly
The system has been discussed a long time ago. The posters there are the same ones posting here on MW. No need to ask there or on MAMEdev website forums. The console unit has not been updated for some time. It is a challenging system to emulate which is why it hasn’t been worked on for some time.

These are current source files and status of the emulation of the system.

The rom file that is needed.
https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/b3e...racan.cpp#L2143
ROM_START( supracan )
ROM_LOAD( "internal_68k.bin", 0x0000, 0x1000, CRC(8d575662) SHA1(a8e75633662978d0a885f16a4ed0f898f278a10a) )
CONS( 1995, supracan, 0, 0, supracan, supracan, supracan_state, empty_init, "Funtech Entertainment", "Super A'Can", MACHINE_NO_SOUND | MACHINE_IMPERFECT_GRAPHICS | MACHINE_NOT_WORKING )
The hash list file shows some games working and other games not yet working.

No it should not – you don’t even have the file names right. You should have:
- roms/supracan.zip (Super A'Can boot ROMs, etc.)
- roms/supracan/monopoly.zip (Monopoly cartridge ROMs)
Then you can just do "mame supracan -cart monopoly" to launch it.

To make MAME start these games create an empty file named internal_68k.bin and zip it into supracan.zip
