Why I can run breakout roms,but others failed

[SaintJack]

I used the source and run the program, success
But when I download a new rom file from "http://atariage.com/company_page.html?CompanyID=1&SystemID=2600&SystemFilterID=2600"
and run ,for example "3d_tic" rom,it failed.

the error output is like below:

I have the same issue. I hope someone could answer this question. I can only play breakout but nothing else. I downloaded: breakout.bin montzrev.bin mspacman.bin vidpin.bin, and none of them could be run.
My hardware has 512GB RAM and eight Nvidia Titan X GPUs.

I almost solved the problem, It is said that the program only support some of the game rom

I can list some of them

air_raid
alien
boxing
hero
ice_hockey
pong
space_invaders
tennis
venture
...

I din't test all of them ,I just test alien.bin space_invaders.bin
It works!

Where did you get the game roms? I downloaded from http://www.atariage.com/ and among these roms only breakout and alien worked. I wonder where the authors to the source code got the game roms.

[dmonaldo]

I've had the same issue. Breakout works but none of the other roms that I downloaded.

[ShibiHe]

I think I got an idea why the other games failed. The roms' name must follow the rules in ALE. For instance ms_pacman rom must be pacman.bin.

[dmonaldo]

Thanks @ShibiHe. I was able to get pacman running. What is ALE?

As @ShibiHe stated, the ROMs must be correctly labeled. Here is the current list of supported ROMs, which the naming rules: link
