SubjectSome drivers seem broken on some iPAQ's Reply to this message

On my 3765 all the pacman / pacman hardware games do not work. When 'play' is pressed the screen goes black for a few seconds then kicks back to the main emulator window.

Same for Donkey Kong (DK Jr. is fine though).

The ROM's were copied straight from my PC MAME ROM's dir, and other games work great in MAMECE3 (frogger, 1942, Missle Command, etc).

Any thoughts?

If you are not using version .36 Roms then there is a chance the games will not work. Each release of MAME seems to have fixes to certain games, which requires changes to certain ROMS. This seems to break functionality in older releases such as the one MameCE3 is based on.

The only workaround is to try and find ROMs from the earlier releases or hope that I get time to work on my next release that is based on newer code :)
