E2 core for roms like Ajax, Asterix....mame 2003 plus

[gazte11]

Hi,

I have working mame 2003 plus roms with A, B, C, D, E, F and G cores. But now i want to add A2, B2, C2, D2, E2, F2 and G2 cores. For example I try it with the rom Ajax and Asterix that goes on E2 core but it gives me black screen. How I have to set up the .ini or the plugins for this cores? I have wiiflow rhapsodii shima.

Thanks.

Have you set up your magic numbers correctly?
In my wiiflow i have both core E and E2 going to the same button i set up for that core.
I also have separate buttons for the other arcade cores to
What i did was double up the plugin .Ini for core E then rename it E2 then change the magic number to anything else with a 8 diggit number letter mix not in use and then add that combo to my source meue.
The other important thing is that your cores work with which version of retroarch you are using.
RAHexaeco cores dont work within retroarch-wii from my testing.

Also your roms will need to be in a seprate folder for your E2 roms and your plugins .Inc file for that core will need to be linked to that rom folder

Short answer: try putting the game in the folder that should already exist: roms/MAME2003/coreE2. That might be enough for it to appear alongside the other mame arcade games and boot using coreE2.

If that doesn't work, you'll have to understand what's going on in order to make configuration changes.

[drive]:\wiiflow\plugins_data\platform.ini

This file needs to have each plugin listed, and defines magic numbers. If the one you want to use, E2, isn't already in here, it will need to be added. The magic number it is already assigned, or assigned by you, is the one that will need to be added to a source menu button, so that when that source menu button is pressed, the E2 games are (also) listed.

[drive]:\wiiflow\plugins

Somewhere in this parent directory, the plugin ini and actual plugin dol need to be placed. My MAME2003+ alt dols are at

[drive]:\wiiflow\plugins\Arcade\MAME_2003_plus\mame_alt_dols

and my plugin ini is at

[drive]:\wiiflow\plugins\Arcade\MAME_2003_plus\mameE2.ini

The plugin ini specifies the path to the dol, and the path to the relevant game files (for you, Asterix). Mine specifies for the game path:

romdir=roms/MAME2003/coreE2

My setup is configured so that games are on the hard drive while wiiflow and its plugins are on the SD card. Yours may be different (rompartition=)
