  @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.

  @grant2258 Won't load. I'm probably doing something wrong. I had to make a whole new section for it in emulators.cfg to load the proper subsystem. A guide post at the libretro forum doesn't say it needs a bios and log says nothing.

  I am patiently waiting for Pi4 support, I also haven't gone out and purchased one yet. I will get a Pi4 when the Retropie team has gotten there.

  Some non-mentioned fighting games i find rather enjoyable : Neogeo : Breakers Revenge, Matrimelee PS1 : Street Fighter EX 1 & 2 (i ignored those for 20 years, just because they were 3D, before trying them and noticing i was just narrow minded), Rival School, Slap Happy Rhythm Busters DC : Rival School 2 Atomiswave : Hokuto No Ken, The Rumble Fish 1 & 2 Naomi : Melty Blood Actress Again Might also be worth upgrading your versus fighting cabinet into a versus cabinet by adding some classical non-fighting versus games like Windjammers or Super Puzzle Fighters 2, except if you intend to make another dedicated cabinet for them.

  Today I added my very first Treasure game to my collection: Dynamite Headdy for Sega Genesis. It’s in very good shape and only mildly suffers from the common Genesis game problem of looking like someone soaked the label in vegetable oil. I don’t know why so many Genesis games do that. Also: can anyone suggest a good gamebit screwdriver that works well with Genesis games? My orange handled one from Amazon “works” but it often slips from the screws on Genesis games and mars the finish. I’d like to minimize that in the future. My custom PCBs also arrived today. They're my very first boards that I designed myself, so there's nothing fancy going on, but it looks like they'll fit the ribbon cable that I intended, so hopefully I'll be able to test with a Pi soon.

  For those who like Synthwave, I have created a playlist that works great for Background music (at least to my taste). No voice, just some of the best soft music inspired from the 80's (Mitch murder, Morgan Willis, The Midnight...) Hope this can be useful for some of you! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7AWoDhxl2Ls7LHoUrM3HID?si=OX1SD8QDT2GofTgVCROP_Q

  If you want RetroPie now you can install it. The master branch works fine on my 4. Refer to the manual install guide to get started.

  I did get my .mp3 files to play inside the music folder. I am happy that .mp4s work as well. I could have sworn that one of the read me files said that you could also place these inside a video folder so that they will play randomly like the .mp3s. If this isn't the case, hopefully that option will be included in a future build. I have to say that these new options (grid view, video view, basic view) have been implemented nicely. The presentation of the themes looks more vibrant too :-).

  Have just set this up and it appears to be working with a Wiimote and Dolphinbar. But if I put the WiiMote into my gun unit I have, the trigger button and second fire button get reversed. Is there anyway I can swap these buttons?

  @hooperre I read up on it a bit, and some of the talk on the flycast GitHub issue tracker seemed to imply that a 64bit os is needed for the WinCE games to work. Which if true, means we are plumb out of luck.

  Still though, would have been nice for Citra to benefit from USB ROM transfer and stuff.

  @dankcushions I admit that didn't take a closer look at them, and I tend to ignore such labels myself, since they reflect the manufacturer's preferences, not mine. Thanks for pointing this out.
