Arcade ROMs won't run - "The operation could not be completed" #1160

I'm running OpenEmu Experimental. Every Arcade ROM I try to run fails with a Generic error:

The operation could not be completed.
No other information is available about the problem.

[Click OK]

Couldn't communicate with a helper application.
Try your operation again. If that fails, quit and relaunch the application and try again.

Have tried 5 or 6 ROMs. Other cores (eg: SNES and SMS) seem to work fine.

Library path is set to ~/Documents/OpenEmu ROMs

Steps taken:

  • Remove games from library (don't trash the games)
  • Quit OpenEmu
  • Relaunch
  • Add games again
  • Same error

Then:

  • Repeat above steps with computer restart after removing games from library
  • Same error

Then:

  • Deleted OpenEmu.app
  • Removed ~/library/app support/openemu
  • Emptied trash
  • Restart computer
  • Download fresh version of OpenEmu
  • Download fresh versions of Roms
  • Add a new MAME ROM to the library and try to run it
  • OpenEmu downloads and installs the MAME core
  • Same error

Here's the console dump:

Hopefully that's enough info to help trouble shoot?

Any help/advice would be amazing.

Is it possible ALL the ROMs I'm attempting to run are incomplete? (Trying to decipher the Console log).

Whatever you're trying to load requires additional files:

12/02/14 9:32:59.140 AM OpenEmuHelperApp[423]: MAME: Audit failed with output:
gng         : gg-pal10l8.bin (44 bytes) - NOT FOUND

Sounds like gng.zip
