Graphical logins and the software loaded with Desktop systems - Volume widgets, Clocks, Task bars, Window/File managers, Auto updates, Bluetooth stacks etc. Other benefits from a dedicated Linux Mame cabinet include a very fast boot up time and rock solid emulation/operation. Typically from the bios logo screen at power on to having your menu in front of you and selecting a game to play is about 10~20 seconds. ZSystem also takes advantage of Mame's waitvsync option, ensuring tear free video display on all systems with compliant video cards.ĭepending on your hardware's capabilities, Mame may be run in Syncrefresh mode (SRM) or Throttle mode (Fallback). Syncrefresh mode provides a much better gaming experience and is the preferred mode for custom Mame cabinets. Throttle mode is Mame's default configuration option and can be compared to most Xin1 type boards.įor systems with compatible video cards (Typically AMD, Intel & nVidia) Syncrefresh operation is possible with the addition of refresh rate matching. When the system video refresh is matched to the original game refresh, Mame can synchronize it's operation to the matched system video refresh for near perfect emulation. This will result in smooth gameplay & scrolling with no jitter/stutter in the video output. For best results audio should be synchronized as well. If you want the games to run like they originally did, Then you will want to use Syncrefresh mode (SRM). Syncrefresh mode requires more CPU power than Throttle mode. the MacSD.Throttle mode, Mame's default and simplest configuration to operate also produces the most shabby emulation. Or copy the your new drive image file to your SD card if your adapter allows for that, e.g. Use balenaEtcher or DD to write your new drive image file to your SD card etc. Copying your image file back on to the source media Note, depending on the size of the image file you’ve created the initialization process can take a significant amount of time.

Mame os x install and setup how to#

I’ve created a separate entry on how to initialize and partition a drive / image file using the patched version of apples drive setup tools that supports both apple branded and generic drives. Note depending on the size of your image file the initialization step can take a very, very long time. If you used the same ordering for drives as I did your blank.chd image file will be device 5 (figure 4).

For Windows run mame64 maciici -hard1 mac755.chd -hard2 blank.chd -ram 32M (where blank.chd is whatever you’ve called the image you created) (figure 1).

Open the terminal / command line window.

Once you’ve created the image file rename it to something like blank.chd 5. I suggest using DD or similar tool to create an image of your SD card, CF card, drive, or removable media. Create the image file you want to initialize Download, unzip and rename from OS_755_2GB.dsk to mac755.chd 4. Mame only works with drive image files, I suggest using my System 7.5.5 2GB drive image from my downloads page.

zip file to your the rom folder in your MAME folder (from section 1)ģ.

Download the macplus.zip, macII.zip or maciici.zip file from the internet archive (this is a bundled zip file, from other sources you’d need the BIOS for the separate floppy bios file and the keyboard bios file).

I’ve personally tested several of these files with MAME, but for this example I’m going to use the Macintosh Plus Luckily some of these ROM files are now available on the internet archive and can be used for personal/research purposes. To run MAME as a Macintosh System you’ll need to get the proper ROM files that represent the system you want to emulate.

Create a destination folder on your system that you will install MAME in.

The latest versions for Windows, OSX and linux can be found on MAME’s site.

Exit Mame and write or copy the initialized blank.cdd image file to your target media.

Mame os x install and setup update#

Download and install the latest version of Mame (this guide has been update for MAME version 0.277).

For this blog entry I’m going to walk through setting up MAME to emulate a Macintosh Plus with the assumption your using MAME instead of Basilisk II because you want to initialize and partition an image file that you created from a physical drive, SD card etc. Most people use it to emulate old arcade systems and gaming consoles, but it also provide support for several of the 68k Macintosh Systems (search the page for mac.c). You likely already know what MAME is, but if not, the simplest description is a multi-purpose emulator.
