Iron Horse & Jackal not loading

[Swainy]

Bit of a strange one. I’ve ran the Update All script to obtain these two latest arcade cores, however when I try to load either game, I just get thrown back to the systems menu.

I’ve checked the Mame folder and the games are there.



Any ideas?

I used the update_all script and they both loaded fine for me.

Yeah I’ve seen that plenty of people haven’t had any problems. Something has obviously gone a bit wrong on mine.

Did you try launching the MRAs from inside the organized folders?

This appears to be definitely an invalid symlink issue

No, I’ll give that a try.

Guys, I’ve tried removing the Mame roms and the mra files for these two games and running the update all script and still no luck getting these to load. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

it looks to me like it can not find the rbf

Where do they hide?

[KnC]

the rbf files should be in the _arcade/cores folder
if they are there check the size of them they should be around 3MB

Thank you so much, they were indeed missing. I’ve installed them and they are now both working.

Thanks again! Now I wonder why those files didn’t get downloaded when I ran the update all script?

check the update.ini in scripts for a line about downloading new cores maybe it has been added and set as false
