Since I was able to FINALLY get the Mame port up and running thanks to CFW, I'm wondering a few things about it
Do "clone ROMs" work with it? I'm asking, because I know the Final Burn Alpha CPS2 port doesn't, and two of the games I would use Mame for the most, Pac-Mania and Donkey Kong, I'm more familiar with the Japanese versions, both of which are considered as "clone ROMs" by Mame
Also, if I wanted to play something like the original Pac-Man, which Mame needs extra BIOS files for, would i just stick the BIOS files for it in the same place I'd put the FDS, SEGA CD, PSX, GBA, etc BIOS files? Or would Mame require they be put somewhere else?
EDIT: Just through some testing, Donkey Kong, Mario Bros., and Pac-Man all crash the emulator
I'm using the Mame 2000 version, as my experiences with the SNES9X versions would indicate that earlier versions would get better framerates, but do these games only work on the 2003 version? Or is there at least any possible way to get them working on any version?
EDIT2: Okay, Donkey Kong does work on the 2003 version, but the screen is sideways and flipped horizontally for some reason. Is there any way to fix that? I know retroarch DOES have a screen rotation thing, but for whatever reason, it hasn't been working properly for me for a while (the screen shape rotates just fine, but the display doesn't rotate anymore for some reason)
Mario Bros. and Pac-Man still don't work, however
