The only tips I can give are the physicis on this are quite good, Pins in ten pin bowling only need to tilt something like 5-10 degrees to topple because of their design. Think about where you hit the pins before you make a shot For example, a perfect strike ball in reality should leave the 5 pin ( middle) standing its an element of the'exlposion' of thepins that allows you to get the strike each time The best advice I can give is to approach it like a pool shot, how would you break in pool.. same kind of logic applies here 245 Attached to this post: 0007.png (10.33 KB) Edited by Invisible, Sep 27 2009, 10:10 PM.

Okay what version of Mame and remember its an Neo Geo game so if you dont have it you'll need the Neo Geo bios file

I'm assuming that the lighter balls respond more to spin. Is this correct? I tend to prefer the heavier balls myself.

Same problem here... I'll have a look for alternative roms tonight - can one of you let me know what the actual error message displayed is - missing roms ? / bad checksum / etc ?

Like 69, but bigger Posts: 1,445 Group: Admin Member #11 Joined: April 26, 2006	Okay i downloaded MAME 0.133 from here : http://filepig.org/download/mame_0.133/ The Neo Geo rom from here : http://www.romnation.net/srv/download/rom/57044/mame103/Neo-Geo.html The League bowling rom from here : http://www.romnation.net/srv/roms/56638/mame103/League-Bowling.html Ran the mame exe to extract to a new directory - dropped the two roms into the rom folder and started mame with mame lbowling Got error messages about missing sfix.fix files - googled and found this page : http://www.mlanime.com/forums/showthread.php?p=29928 Which pointed me to this alternative neo-geo download http://www.filetycoon.com/file/113-neogeo-zip.html Dropped that into the Rom folder and it started up fine (complained that some of the checksums dont match but the game starts and plays fine). Can someone whos having problems try adding this neo-geo file to their roms folder (back your other one up first) and see if that fixes it ?
