Tobe! Polystars won't launch help please

Hi everyone,

please could someone help me why I get this error when I try to launch Tobe! Polystars on mameui32 0.205.

in my mameui32 0.205 roms folder ,I put a folder called "polystar" which has the chd file "623jaa02.chd" in there.

then I am putting the polystar.zip which I downloaded here from the 205 roms download section  into my mameui32 0.205 roms folder.

when I do the (Alt + A) audit it says for ROM check "best available"

so there are no checksum errors

I noticed on a youtube video as it boots after device check 11k ok

it does a eeprom check 7k ok

then mask rom check 8Q ok     but it doesn't get that far for me , it crashes with hardware error after the device check 11k ok

I put pics up to show what happens.

I read this somewhere,

You may need to update your ROMs/CHDs. First time I tried Polystars, I had to - the game was starting and MAME didn't throw checksums errors, however the game itself crashed at startup.

where do I get the updated roms chds or how do I do this please ?

Hi buddy,

1st download or extract the DAT file for your version of MAME or
download it here: http://www.progettosnaps.net/download?tipo=dat_mame&file=/dats/MAME/packs/MAME_Dats_205.7z

You can extract it with a Rommanager like: ClrmamePro or Others.

Then check your roms folder with the ClrmamePro and the given DAT file. Something is wrong with your Roms.
Maybe the CHD file itself or the additional Rom file.

If it is fail then download it here:

Cheers and good luck

Hi shanigma 

thank you for trying to help me.

I'll try what you said to do and let you know what happens , thanks

 

Hi shanigma

I tried all you suggested and tried ClrmamePro , mame DATS and also all the different polystar roms and chd's from here and all other sites

but it kept giving the "hardware error" after booting past "device check 11k ok"

so I nearly gave up lol

as a last try I found what the problem was and it was this so I hope it helps others with the same problem tongue-out

the 1st version of mameui32 0.205 I tried was the 32bit version from  http://www.progettosnaps.net

which is where I usually get the latest builds , they've always usually been fine but for some reason not this time. It always gave the hardware error on booting Tobe!-Polystars no matter what I tried.

but the solution was I tried the MAMEUI32 v0.205 from http://www.planetemu.net

and it worked perfectly fine booting up Tobe!-Polystars

the one from http://www.progettosnaps.net had a lot more files upon extraction than the one from http://www.planetemu.net

so I don't know why things were going wrong with http://www.progettosnaps.net version , strange

so anyway I'm happy now it works, but thank you very much for trying to help me.

Hi buddy,

good job. Thanks for the info. I think someone who have the same error is interested in this information to solve the problem.

Cheers

I keep getting the same error with the polystars rom/chd but i get checksum errors and when it runs it does 11k ok then hardware error hits right after, the links in downloads are all dead so i can't test them

 

the links in downloads are all dead so i can't test them

 The CHD is here: https://bda.retroroms.info:82/downloads/mame/CHDs/polystar/

 

yeah it keeps doing 

93c46.7k WRONG CHECKSUMS 

Expected CRC(fab5a203)

SHA1(*bunch of gunk*)

Found CRC 66d0298t

623jaa02.chd CHD NEEDS REDUMP

 

i can't figure out whats wrong

 

then when the game tries to run it does the 11k test and says OK then says hardware error

still stuck, not sure what extra step im missing, always seems to give hardware error

It runs fine here on a full set.

Are you sure you're using the correct romset?
https://bda.retroroms.info:82/downloads/mame/currentroms/polystar.zip

no, i have no idea how to load romsets into mameui32 

i have the konamim2.cpp file but no way of knowing if mine is good

im unsure which romset i should use too

 

i have the konamim2.cpp file but no way of knowing if mine is good

 ???

Just use the romset and CHD that I linked to on this page, they work in Mame 0.218.

ah, yeah it seems that it was just that i was using the wrong chd, yours does work, it kept trying to use the konami m2 bios that was used for a different game instead of the one for polystars

i'm surprsied by how bad it runs in this version of mame, it seems to ask for a lot more cpu power than i would think

i can't seem to figure out why but that game runs really choppy, and its not even using 20% of my cpu even if I try to force it to use maximum it can in settings, runs at like 40% speed, does it run properly for you?
