@barbudreadmon said in Where to find the Mame 2003 Plus .dat file?:

@jorgemagana i think you are supposed to generate it from core options

I would be interested to know if both Dats match, otherwise the generated Dat would be the correct one to pick.

[jorgemagana]

I ask this because some games, now with 7, do not start in mame 2003 plus, tried yesterdey about 100 roms (that worked in 6.1.), and 3 of them return to main screen. I will check with the dat and clrmamepro.

[jorgemagana]

@acris no, there is no dat file in this folder.

[acris]

it's a xlm file.

[jorgemagana]

@barbudreadmon entered in the submenu (with L3), selected generate dat file, a message indicating writing file appears, but when I search for it in Windows, no dat file is founded.

[jorgemagana]

@acris ok I will check it, thanks

[jorgemagana]

@barbudreadmon @acris @paradadf I did the rebuild of the roms that do not run, later I wil try them in home, I'll keep you informed. Thans for your help!

@acris @barbudreadmon @paradadf
Update: tried the roms that I rebuilt and they worked! The games are: Renegade, Sheriff and Space Fever.

I will test more roms (got more than 1000 in MAME).

@jorgemagana good news. What's the name of the file created and/or where gets it created?

[jorgemagana]

@paradadf it is a XML file in bios\Mame2003plus\
