Running Mame4All on A330 LE Firmware 1.2
« on: October 17, 2013, 05:48:27 am »
Hello,

I have recently bought a Dingoo A330LE and when I have downloaded Mame4all I noticed the files are in .app extension which can't be read on my device. I have tried to rename them to .cc but then it freezes.

Is there any kind of converter or compiler that I should use to generate the .cc files?

Many thanks!

Well, such a converter would be some kind of magic. Short answer is unfortunately no.

The Dingoo A330 LE is actually a Gemei A330 clone. It has a different CPU than the Dingoo Digital A320 or Dingoo Tech A330. Therefore it's not binary compatible and compiled software does not run on it.

The few additional emulators for this device are available here...

You might not be totally out of luck however, as the Neo Geo Emulator runs PERFECTLY on this console, and a lot of games for Mame were also Neo Geo games! So if you are lucky enough to want to play one that is on both platforms you will be good to go! I can tell you that the Metal Slug and King of Fighters runs excellently on the Gemei ;)

Many thanks for your answers.

Sad that I can't play Tonma, Robocop or WWF Superstars from MAME but still have hope someone could convert it for GEMEI A330.

And yes, I will have fun with the NeoGeo games in the meanwhile and have just got the MVS convertor.

Cheers,

Certainly not the most famous Mame titles I've heard, lol, but I know there was at least one wrestling game for Neo Geo if not a couple more. Certainly better controls that the WWF Superstars game! ;D

Ha, I've been maintaining the Dingoo A320 MAME4ALL so would be interested in doing for this device. But I don't have one, anyone got one for sale?

Is anyone familiar with ClrMamePro? Used for creating and fixing ROMs.

I've created a clrmame.dat file for this version of MAME4ALL and can be used for generating correct ROMs.

Can someone test it out? Let me know if you can - send me a PM.

I cant test it atm but here is a nice and simple guide http://mame.3feetunder.com/clrmamepro-quick-start-guide/

At the First step dont click 'Create', instead click 'AddDatFile' and select your Dat file, then the 'Default' option. The other steps are the same.
