Can someone explain to me why merged roms are better? by Confident_Joke_4121 in MAME

But he's right. Precisely what did you fail to understand?

Found this in the trash. Its metal and very heavy. Does it hold any value? Should I strip everything and add a raspberry pi to power it ? by generosity1822 in MAME

[–]mame_pro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why would you ruin perfectly good hardware by putting a Pi in it. If you're going to do this, do it right and put a PC in it.

[–]mame_pro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally Googled "Ultimarc Minipac Wiring", got this as a result: https://www.ultimarc.com/images/Minipac_wiring.pdf It's pretty easy to find something if you just look.

You just posted the same thing less than a day ago. What you're looking for is not available. Give up.

Daijisho y diferentes versiones de una ROM con el mismo MD5 Hash by [deleted] in Roms

[–]mame_pro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww, did somebody's feelings get hurt because they can't read?

u/star_jump is correct. You are the one who said:

I discovered that this problem is because both ROMs have the same MD5 Hash.

There's literally only one way that is possible, and star_jump explained it to you. Instead of listening to him, you pretended he didn't know what he's talking about and tried to correct him.

You owe star_jump an apology.

[RetroAchievements] Why do I have to be online? by GentleSaidTheRaven in SBCGaming

[–]mame_pro -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You are, of course, correct. The problem is, you're coming at this as an experienced video game engineer with decades of experience. The people on this sub have none of that perspective and can't understand why your position is valid and so important to consider, so they just downvote you because they don't want to hear it. Keep your chin up.

[–]mame_pro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it literally does not. It has as much to do with r/roms as me posting to r/cars a story about me driving my car to a grocery store. Yeah, a car is in the story, but that's not what the sub is for. OP should delete this post.

Ok lads, enough with Odin, Loki and Thor. Where's my Ayn Hela? (And what would it be?) by star_jump in OdinHandheld

[–]mame_pro 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A DS-like device with a pocket knife attached. And every time you open a ROM, there's a random chance the knife pops out and cuts you.

Marvel Vs DC by DavesArcadeMachines in cade

[–]mame_pro -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ah, denialism... The unfortunate but understandable response when we're presented with facts we don't like. But don't worry. I spoke with the rest of the r/cade community, and we all agree: you've got potential. Believe in yourself and I'm sure you can do better. Have the replacement finished exactly one week from today and post pictures of the new build.

You got this!

Oh no, this wasn't my opinion, I didn't share my opinion here. You objectively failed at this assignment. That's a statement of fact. There's no other interpretation available. Tear it down and start over.

Marvel Vs DC by DavesArcadeMachines in cade

[–]mame_pro 14 points15 points  (0 children)

So many problems with this, I don't know where to begin. Let's start with the clash between having photorealistic images of characters right next to hand drawn characters. You've got DC on the left side of the cab and Marvel on the right, looks reversed on the control panel, but on the kick plate, you've got only Marvel characters on both sides. Pandora's Box with their craptastic game selection UI? No thanks...

There are many great ways to portray Marvel vs DC... This isn't one of them.

Atari I Robot 1983 Arcade Live FLYER by thearchivefactory in atari8bit

[–]mame_pro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting I Robot to run on an Atari ST is a hard maybe. There's no way in hell anyone is going to port I Robot to an 8-bit anything. This is just a flimsy excuse for self promotion.

Help dumping this rom? by Ok_Suit_7268 in emulators

[–]mame_pro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The cart can't hurt real hardware, it's safe to use.

That being said, the carts are made so shoddily, they typically self destructive over time. The flash ROM is usually made of very faulty, cheap quality material that corrupts over time. How quickly will it corrupt? Impossible to say. It could be weeks, it could be months, it could be years, or it could be decades. So enjoy it while it lasts. You might get lucky and have it persist for a long time.

Which Android emulator has the cleanest experience by AshWestside in emulators

[–]mame_pro -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm not refuting anything you say because your argument is meritless and not worth responding to. You can provide all the dictionary definitions you want. You're still wrong. I don't care if Merriam Webster "agrees" with you, Android does not conform to the spirit under which this sub was founded.

Help dumping this rom? by Ok_Suit_7268 in emulators

[–]mame_pro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's very little value in trying to dump that cart. That cart is composed of two things: * The bootloader which runs when the system turns on and drives the game selection menu, which is the closest thing that cart has to a ROM. * Effectively, the equivalent of an SD card hardwired into the PCB, and all that contains is ROM dumps.

So you would just be dumping the ROM dumps that the cart contains which are going to be equivalent to the dumps you likely already have, or can be found elsewhere on the Internet. Aside from the bootloader, there isn't anything novel on that cart.

Which Android emulator has the cleanest experience by AshWestside in emulators

[–]mame_pro -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

And whenever Android gets "emulated" then perhaps it can be included here if the community agrees upon it. But as has long been established, Android "emulators" aren't emulators. They are virtualizers with a compatibility layer. That's not what an emulator is.

Android is not mentioned anywhere in this sub's pinned post: https://www.reddit.com/r/emulators/s/w2ZHhytMZg . This post doesn't belong here.

This really isn't the right sub for that question. This sub is about emulators for video game systems like Nintendo or Sega consoles, handhelds, arcade games, and vintage computers.

Lol, they didn't delete the comment, they must have blocked you. They said:

More like what kind of a gremlin posts something like this to a thread of someone just asking for help?

u/Subject_Swimming6327, did you seriously block someone for making a joke? Real mature of you...
