    I'm having trouble loading unibios 3.0 in MameUI64
    Has anyone got the latest unibios successfully loaded in MAME?

    I have tried including the lastest unibios.rom in the neogeo.zip file but to no avail

    It should work, if you add
    to \src\mame\drivers\neodrvr.c and then compile.


    [EDIT] Well, that doesn't work.^^
    [EDIT2] It works... I just forgot some "\"s ;p

    Because it wasnt free and you are supposed to buy it. Its easy to find - just pay for it.

    That said, 3.1 has now been released which means 3.0 is now free (free version is always 1 behind the current).

    Well,... I was bored:

    MAME64.0146u5.UB30.rar
    MAMEUI64.0146u5.UB30.rar


    Just the executables and neogeo.zip (~20MB).
    Love my new i7! :p


    [EDIT] Thousands of downloads and not one single thank you...
    I guess no one cares. DLs offline, please refer to post #2 or PM me, if you're interested.

    Sorry to bring this old thread up but I thought it was relevant to keep the same discussion in one single thread than to spread it into loads of separate threads

    First of all neodrvr.c in not used anymore its neogeo.inc and it has all the bios upto 3.0, but the first one is MVS EURO

    how do I enable the unibios within MAME menu, or do I need to swap a bios in the inc gile to make the unibios load first

    Put neogeo.zip (with uni-bios_3_0.rom) in your roms folder, start a neo geo game, press TAB (configuration menu), choose "Bios Selection" and set it to Universe Bios 3.0.

    Or just start the command line and enter eg. "mame wjammers -bios unibios30" if you want to start Windjammers with Unibios 3.0.

    If you want to make 3.0 your default bios, generate a mame.ini with "mame -cc", open it and put bios unibios30 at the end of the file. Save it and you're done.
    Or with a single command: "mame -cc && echo bios unibios30>> mame.ini"

    Also, you can see all the bios names, if you enter eg. mame wjammers -lx|find "biosset name=". The output should be something like <biosset name="unibios30" description="Universe Bios (Hack, Ver. 3.0)"/>. So in this case you would use unibios30.

    Universe Bios 3.2 released!
    Now you can download Universe Bios v3.1.


    To make it work in MAME(v0.152):

    MAME0152_UB31.png

    - download source
    - open \src\mame\drivers\neogeo.inc and add
    at line ~683 (replace XX with a suitable number and edit the bios order as you wish).
    - compile

    - download uni-bios-31.zip, extract uni-bios.rom, rename it to uni-bios_3_1.rom and add it to your neogeo.zip.




    [EDIT#73141]: Finally I've found out what went wrong: ERROR 0x4RD836
    -> There you go: mame0152x64_UB31.rar

    Whether you're an asshole or not is irrelevant. You have to pay for 3.2 unless you know someone who will give it to you for free.

    I believe there may be differences between the free and the paid for files, so my only interest in getting all the paid for ones would be to see what the difference actually is.

    He bakes serial # info into the paid ones, if no serial is provided then I bet he puts something else user identifiable in case someone starts spreading around.

    If you want 3.2 just pay Raz for a copy.

    I'd rather not pay someone for violating copyright, it will only encourage him to keep profiting from it.
