Help

If it doesn't start.

Not in the Library: look under All > Unknown sources. Missing? Developer mode is off, or the headset was not restarted.
Files missing: check the names (dirtdash.zip and namcoc71.zip), that they are zips, and that "All files access" is allowed.
"Wrong version of the game files": your set is not for MAME 0.289. Check it with a ROM manager, put the corrected files back, return to the app.
Anything else: ask in #ask-port0r on the Discord, the bot answers in seconds, in your language.
