I've got a softmodded XBox. The Xbox uses the UnleashX dashboard.

I've copied Mameox 128 Plus! (v 20060505) to the Xbox, under the Emulators directory.

I copied mshu.zip (Marvel Super Heroes) to the roms directory.

When I launch Mame, it lists Marvel Super Heroes. If I try to play it, though, Mameox goes through loading a series of 22 files named msh.##m, where # = some number. Mameox then lists a ton of missing .##m files, and won't start the game.
Example:
msh.05 NOT FOUND
msh.06b NOT FOUND

When I look at mshu.zip myself, there are only 4 files within the .zip.

I loaded Berzerk, and it played A-Ok.
Also, Sinistar & Lunar Lander loaded Ok.

I've redownloaded Marvel Super Heroes 3 times from a couple of different sources - every time the .zip only contains the four files my first mshu.zip included.

The Euro version of the ROM has 21 files in the zip.

If I run the Euro, a screen displays stating that the game doesn't work properly. I then enter into what seems to be an endless series of 'testing rom'-type screens, so maybe the message is right, and that ROM doesn't work.

Strangely, after trying the Euro version of the ROM, I re-tried the US version and it loaded fine.

Anyone understand what's going on here?

Why not just run it in FBA-XXX? MSH plays great and runs full speed on there.

The US version of MSH won't work on it's own because you still need the parent rom (Euro in your case) for it to run. Once the parent rom is installed, then all you need to do is install the other smaller sized country roms (US, Asia, Brazil, etc.) and then those should work. MAMEoX is ported from a really old version of MAME though, so it has problems playing a lot of games. Sounds like MSH is one of them.

Thx for the info.

I'm not aware of FBA-XXX, but now that I've got MAME working ok, I'm satisfied.

Thanks again.
