@barbudreadmon well my thinking was, maybe I could add the emulator that does run the game properly. I didn't realize that the 6 player isn’t supported though, that crushes the dream for now. D**n I really want to play this game with 5 of my friends lol.

So if I understand correctly, the default mame emulators are mame2003 (.78 ROMs) and fba. If I want to play a game that requires a newer version of mame, how could I add the emulator to the system? The specific game I’m trying to play is X-Men 6 player fyi.

Hoping someone can help me out, I’ve been looking online all day but can’t seem to find anything specific to my issue.

I’m trying to play the 6 player version, I’ve loaded multiple copies of every X-men game (2 and 4 player/all region codes) into the mame folder and both fba folders for testing purposes. The 2 and 4 player versions all work, all versions and on all 3 emulators. But only one 6 player rom will load. The problem is it says “defect ic found” and will only load the player select screen. You can hit select to add credits but no other buttons work. I’m stuck here at the moment. Does anyone know how to get this working? Thank you for any help or suggestions.
