Turn Your PC Into an Arcade Machine - How to Install MAME
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 жов 2024
- Arcade games started the games industry back in the late 1970s and 1980s. Some of the most iconic games were created during this period. Space Invaders, Pac Man, Donkey Kong, any many, many more.
Using the Multi Arcade Machine Emulator, MAME, you can now turn your own computer into any arcade machine ever built and play the 'real' games from the original cabinets.
In this video I'll show you how to install MAME as both a standalone application and how to connect it to your LaunchBox front end. I'll also show you how to import your MAME ROM sets into your emulator.
Don't forget to check out my website for more details and links.

I have tried so many times over the years to get mame working. Your video helped me to successfully get everything working and introduced me to launchbox. You're the best
Glad I could help.
Just installed Mame and over a hundred roms on my computer, awesome sauce. Just played as Razor on WWF Arcade in remembrance.
Great! You're in for some fantastic gaming!
@@BytesNBits yeah now I just need to build a dedicated emulation pc with a video card with analog out to connect to my Sony crt.
Hi could you please help me, from where I can download the rooms games... safety. Please help
mame was such a big part of my childhood omg can't wait to get it again
Great. Get the code installed and start playing.
Love your videos as much as I love classic arcade games, thanks
Thanks. Have fun!
Wow back to back videos,nice!
Glad you like them!
Thank you for the step by step instructions. Really made things easier. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Wholeheartedly agree with this!!

You're welcome!
Fantastic video - saved for reference and subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
I have collected arcade cabinets but the alcohol took over it’s my last day of drinking 19 January thanks great video
Good luck
thank you for making this video. i'm downloading launch box now.
Hope you enjoy it!
Very well presented and helpful. I'm interested in this and Raspberry Pi as well. I just have to see if these can be merged so I can do this tutorial on a Pi. Or if there's another way I have to do it. Guess I'll need to browse your other videos to see.
Hi. You'll be pleased to hear it's quite an easy project. Have a look at ua-cam.com/video/888BKOFtFu0/v-deo.html. Have fun!
Really nice video, well planned and thought out. Explanations considered and well presented. Subscribed & looking forward to new videos.
Thanks
This makes my head hurt. Thank you for making this
Hi. I hope you got it all set up OK. Have fun!
Same here ...like send me a email attachment files with all roms and emulators consoles system please. Thank you and call it a day.
@@justchilling771 It takes a bit of work but really worth it!
@@bob-grant i do appreciate all the info you given out for free, i do thank you for that..
Thanks for this detailed information.
No problem. Enjoy the games!
You helped me! Thank you.
Glad I could help!
oh no
I still fail
I follow your video in 18:29
the new Mame, there is a more item called" full set version"
I have input my version "0.248"
and it stated that "the specified does not contain a full MAME ROM set"
Hi. You need to point the import process at a folder with your full mame rom set files. If these are zipped up into a single download file you'll need to unzip them to the individual game zip files.
Awesome Tutorial! ...I have an arcade type machine - with a coin slot. Will replace the proprietary computer inside with a PC, and install the way you explain in this video. My question : is there a way I can make the games function using the coin ? .... like the 80s - you insert a coin, only then the game starts. Thanks!
Hi. I'm sure there is a way. Basically Mame uses a button press to simulate the coin slot. You need to look for a coin slot (or wire up your existing one) to generate this button press. I expect you can buy these. Or if your coin slot uses some sort of mechanical switch or relay output you should be able to wire this into your button controller board.
is there to play the FAST AND FURIOUS TOKYO DRIFT and HYDRO THUNDER arcade game?on mame? or is it not possible.
If the game roms are in the rom sets they should work. I don't know when these games were released. Mame tends to be for older games.
I want to make my own machine that can play only one rom file and stay on just like the original arcades can I use this same method
Hi. If you want to boot directly to a game you'll need to play around with the start options in Windows. Launchbox and BigBox have options to auto start on boot but this will take you to their menu screens. If you create a task in the Task Scheduler you'll be able to run a command line command to autostart Mame with a specific game. You'll need to search on Google to find out how to do this.
I have download MAME and game's rom
all files contain 2h, 3h 4h, 2k 3k 4k.................files
it doesnt work
how can use mame to play the game?
it there anything wrong? they always files 2h, 3h 4h, 2k 3k 4k....
Hi. I made a tutorial on how to set up Mame using the new easy install feature in Launchbox. ua-cam.com/video/KkLosR5Zx3E/v-deo.html
I HAVE A VERY LOW END PC WITH INTEL CORE 2 DUO E7500.......WILL THIS APPLICATION WORK ON MY PC?
Yes. It will work fine for most of the games. Some of the later games may run a bit slower but in general you'll be fine.
Thanks!🙂
No problem!
Can i install manualy single mame roms to my mame ,?? Cause i dont want massive rom packs but rather install them manualy 1by1
Hi. Yes. Just copy the ROM files into the correct folder and MAME should pick them up when you restart.
Um its been a month, are you planning a big project?
Hi. Sorry, work has been a bit hectic lately and yes, I've got a new full coding course on the way. I should get back into videoing this weekend. See you soon.
@@BytesNBits oh hell yea
Are you still going to make a video about your favorite arcade games?
Hi. Definitely yes. Just got to make some time to get these videos produced.
Where can you find current (.235) MAME sets? Everything on Archive looks old.
Archive.org is the place to look. Try going down the version numbers until you find a good download. I think I managed to get one for 0.234.
So when you click the view comments on the Ad5et file it doesnt display any download options
Hi. I'm not sure which bit you're talking about. Can you tell me what the Ad5et file is and where you're trying to download from?
Hello I've followed the instructions but there is no download link on archive . org i can see all the game but no download for anything could you help me please it's for the latest Mame 0.239 many thanks
On archive.org sometimes there isn't a link to download everything in one file. The one you've found might only let you download games individually. Have a look for another listing. You might have to drop back a version or two to find the full download.
Hi there! I've just downloaded videosnaps for using in mame. Does someone knows where i should place the folder so i can watch the gameplay videos in the frontend, aside the snapshots and extras? Thanks in advance
Hi. Sorry I've not tried that.
theres no mame roms merged thing, im using mame 0.250
Hi. As long as you have a ROM set you'll be fine. If you can't find the latest set use the best one you can find and install the matching version of MAME.
can these be run on a legends virtual pinball machine?
Hi. I don't know. If it has a PC or Raspberry Pi inside running some sort of emulator software I can't see why not. I guess you'll need to be able to plug in some sort of controller and keyboard etc to get it loaded and running.
Very informative.
But too many ads.
Hi. Sorry but UA-cam sets all the advertising automatically.
From where I can download games, please help I'm new
Unfortunately I can't give out direct links - UA-cam gets very angry if you do! But the Internet Archive website has lots of useful information about where to get Mame Romsets from.
@@BytesNBits thanks I'll try.
Superb upload without hearing "go ahead and..." like you do from every single American uploader... Only problem I'm having is that my old pc I'm going to use for mame is Windows 7 ultimate 32bit and there's only 64bit download available. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Hi. You'll need to use an older version. Have a look at www.mamedev.org/oldrel.html and just scroll down. Make sure you get hold of a ROM set that matches the one you use.
@@BytesNBits Thanks. Having a nightmare with launchbox.. Keeps trying to install version 12 which doesn't work with my windows 7. May just stick with launching from mame instead. Thanks anyway. ☺
@@RoadcraftNottingham Hi. LaunchBox don't provide access to older versions and the main download is supposed to cope with most setups. There are alternatives like Batocera, etc. you could try. They all work in a fairly similar way. Batocera is Linux based but you can run it from a USB drive so you don't need to alter anything on your PC.
@@BytesNBits Thanks. I've found mame 0.180 works well but can't find which button on the ui menu selects the game in the menu on my cocktail cabinet. I have to press "enter" on the keyboard. Also in the ui, which is the fire button in settings? Thanks
@@RoadcraftNottingham Hi. The MAME interface isn't very controller friendly. My A button seems to select games but I need the keyboard to get the escape key to exit. If you're using a cabinet design I'd have a go with Batocera as you can try it out without having to rebuild the PC. I'm making a video in using it with the Raspberry Pi in a week or so. I've been testing it and it looks very good.
can it run doodle jump?
Hi. No idea! Only one way to find out.
@@BytesNBits oh ok.
Espero puedas poner subtitulos en español por favor
Intentaré que youtube agregue una traducción automática
Thanks
This video cauld of been done with in 5 minits 🤷
Hi. I try to aim my videos at people who aren't IT experts and want a more step by step guide.
Nice - but I’m s normal person. Got lost after 5 minutes. Way too complicated for people like me.
Try my easy Mame installation video. It uses an app called LaunchBox to get everything set up for you
@@BytesNBits thanks. I’ve been on a quest to get Galaxian on my laptop. ( or the return to arcade Microsoft)
@@robrussell8515 Have a look at ua-cam.com/video/KkLosR5Zx3E/v-deo.html
I had to stop video. Must be simplier way. Just blinding us with science. Rom Version > Compatable Games don't have to have
every game on the planet. Short and to the point so people can download and play.
There are a lot of videos that will take you through a follow along process. I try to help you understand what's happening. I guess it's not for everyone.
