Can't get Dirt Devils to load with latest Supermodel version

Postby cobra commander » Fri May 01, 2020 11:13 pm

This is my first post. Firstly, thanks for all the hard work by the supermodel team to get these games running so we can all play them again! Especially in the current global climate where we're all likely inside more than we'd like.

Secondly, I can't get Dirt Devils to load since the latest update. I don't really want to restore my Supermodel version to a previous one, because the current build runs Star Wars so much smoother on my machine. Is there some setting I need to change to get dirt devils working?

Another weird glitch I've noticed is that the Sega Rally start screen doesn't come up; I can't choose a car, but the game is playable. Then after the game over screen, I can select a car, transmission, and practice or race. Weird.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

What errors?

Also, the Sega Rally 2 issue is basically just this.

I get a command line screen that comes up for less than a second and then disapears before I can see what the error is.

And Sega Rally 2 works great! I guess I was just too impatient to play!

Try run the emulator directly from Command Prompt instead of the batch files you created/GUI frontends and see what the exactly error is.

Alternatively, check the error.log files on the same directory as the emulator too. Your Dirt Devils rom might be missing some files.

Tried running from the command line, I get an error stating that "'epr-19338a.bin' (CRC32 0xc9fac464)" cannot be found. Must have a missing file.

If you have Scud Race ROM, just grab that file from there and add it into the Dirt Devils ROM (dirtdvls.zip).

That worked! Thanks for the help.

I've got one more game not working; Lemans24. It's asking for epr-18261.bin file. I've looked in all my other games, but so far no luck. Any idea where to get that file for Lemans24?

If you have emulator (or just the roms) for the Model 2, Sega Touring Car Championship (stcc.zip) has that file. Just grab that file from there.

The reason why we need a dat file or people will get problems with roms and etc... :(
clrmamepro need to read games.xml or decided to release the original rom set of mame.
Those new clone games was added should be in mame or people don´t stop asking for roms.
Please if you have problems, go check my dat, it's a temporary dat it have all sets in.
