This only matters if you want to play games that only run on newer versions of MAME. Older romsets aren't necessarily bad, as long as you understand there are less games available to play. Based on my own testing, with my own romsets, I've found MAME2016 to be the best balance between supporting more games, but still running fine without overclocking. The pi4 is newer, of course, than the pi3, and has a more powerful CPU, so it can handle newer versions of MAME. So for lower power devices, older versions of MAME are often best, because the CPUs are too low power to handle newer code. The main downside of newer versions is that it requires more CPU. The most recent version of MAME is 0.234, so it's obviously come a long way from 0.78.
Each new version fixes some previous problems and adds new games. MAME2003 is just one of those versions (based on 0.78). MAME is an emulator with many, many versions. As a hail mary, I launched from the terminal instead to see if that would work. SECOND EDIT: I recently made a shortcut to launch Retropie. All the roms I had running now just default back to the Retropie menu after 2-3 seconds. Thanks so much!ĮDIT: NOTHING will launch no on Retropie - not even the menus to configure Retropie itself. If there's anyone familiar with MAME, just 2 mins of your time to write clear instructions would make my entire weekend. Do I also need to download and place the XML files from the source somewhere in the folder structure? However when I to run a rom from Arcade, or Arcade/mame2003, it always just brings me back to the RetroPie interface. I've put the contents of the samples folder from the source into bios/mame2003/samples. I found a source (the most popular one) to download individual non-merged 0.78 ROMs. See all previous links to avoid this in the future.Hey everyone, I've been working on this for hours and reading so much that my eyes hurt. Its tedious trying 5 different emulators with each ROM only to find none work. However the correlations you seek are already provided here: Please can someone who has navigated through this with success with the version correlations or if you have got some tips please PM me. Should this then tell me which RPie emulator it will work with? Each MAME emulator is included due to the particular benefits of each one.įor example a ROM site will say XYZ MAME ROM works best with MAME 0.172. You need to acquire FULL VERIFIED romsets for the emulator which you choose to use according to the wiki. You should also read this after the above as it will reinforce the above:Īttempting to download single roms is never recommended. Here are some examples: here, here, here and here
Just by typing in MAME HELP into the search bar will reveal them.
