  @dankcushions said in How to use MAME with RetroPie - Help Guide: the only way to ensure compatibility with any random rom would be to include every single version of mame ever released And even so it would confuse users, since they would have to know which version to use in a big list of versions.

  @hermit said in Goodbye fbalpha, welcome fbneo: @barbudreadmon Hello there are some games (such as DownTown / Mokugeki) where you need to press the 3 key to rotate the character. sometimes it is very complex to use this maneuver. there are some modified roms, but sometimes they are not the version / language that interests me is it possible to create something at the software level to rotate the character with the classic directions? thanks You might want to try the joystick hack version of DownTown romname downtownj, it's alot easier to play i think FBN supports it, there are quite a few rotary games hacked to work this way you should seek em out if you dont like the original control method i know i dont.

  @George-Spiggott Yes this seems a better place for this conversation. It plays full speed for me with gliden64. Can you post the contents of /opt/retropie/configs/n64/mupen64plus.cfg and /opt/retropie/configs/all/autoconf.cfg? Perhaps our settings are different?

  Holy crap! What the hell happened to those pins? Did someone try to brush his teeth with that game? Or maybe use it as a fingernail file? That really sucks and 25% ain't gonna sweetn anything about it.

  @Rascas There might be an issue with the pad driver compiling with it, I really have no idea what I'm doing. I'll create a new thread and see if anyone can help.

  Most of the above games are available as WHDload files. I'd look out for the .ISO version of the CDTV Xenon II: Megablast if you're looking for the best version.

  @quicksilver I thought I tried it and it kicked me back out. I'll try again but I think 2010 is the only thing I've gotten to load it. I'm new to all this. From what I read thebroms are specific to emulators so I figured I needed a new killer instinct romset for a different emulator. I might be misunderstanding.

  @Cayaco said in Final Fight 30th Anniversary Mame Mod: Updated packages and ready to go. According to the docs mame2003plus uses the .78 mame romset, is this correct? The patch is not working on that version. Does this hack require a newer edition that wouldn't work within Retroie? I purposely made sure the new clone rom for ffightae would work off the original MAME78 ffight parent rom, so if you have that in your set and it's correct for MAME2003 you'd just drop fightae.zip into your roms folder and it'll work fine, i know it did for me a while back when i tested the game after adding support for it.

  This is driving me crazy for decades at this point! It's either a Sega Master System of Mega Drive/Genesis game. It was a platformer and the only level I can remember is an underwater one. The main things I remember were having to avoid sharp obstacles (Maybe sea anemone?) and the boss of the level was an lantern fish. You had to hit the lantern on the fish's head to do damage to him and his colour palette would change as he took damage. I distinctly remember my mum playing it but doesn't remember. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you

  @muldjord Yes there would be bandwidth wastage but it would be the users rather than the content providers and as I understand the situation it is currently their bandwidth that is at a premium. That said I'm certainly not trying to force my ideas on the creators. Thanks both for your work and your valued input.

  @Cesarpuig Thank you for your contribution. This will be useful for those who owns a Raspberry Pi 4 and want to try running the port even though it officially only works on older Raspberry Pis.

  @mitu said in Can you change the Virtual Boy color?: @Jiryn said in Can you change the Virtual Boy color?: Is that the command-X quick key when in game? Yes, that's how you access it. There should be an Options menu entry in the list, enter it (A) and then you can change that option (use the D-Pad). After setting it, just exit and restart the game. EDIT: you also change the palette to B&W (instead of black and red) from the same Options menu. Thank you so much!

  You are welcome. It's official but not stable. It's still unsupported in the forums so there could be hiccups here and there or even emulators not working at all.
