  @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.

  @hannibal after several tries finally got it to work... the default overlay is kinda dumb and i couldnt (didnt really try that hard) to change the controller around. Tinkerboard seemed to run the roms fine... i couldnt really tell about the sound my 4k monitor sound is almost inaudible. I enjoyed kodi a lot more on the tinkerboard compared to the pi3. however if a port never happens for retropie i feel i have bought a 60 dollar paper weight and i will wait for the udoo board.

  Quake Rally is here and here and Quake Matrix is here. Apparently, these mods were based on modifying the Quake 1 source code. Running them isn't out of the question, but would require getting the modified source and applying the modifications to the ports of Quake currently running on the Raspberry PI. I'd be interested in recruiting any interested parties for a collaborative project along these lines so that these awesome mods (and maybe Quake 2 as well) can shine again. It may also be worth looking into the possibility of porting SUPERQOT to the Raspberry PI, as it's just a modified version of the Darkplaces Quake engine, which I understand already works on Raspberry PI.

  The more I read about SEGA Forever makes me think about any given episode of 'Silicon Valley'. Choosing to package their games with an inappropriate middleware component that better serves a corporate agenda than it's intended purpose is frustratingly hilarious. These guys got in their own way and I'm sure it'll hurt sales.

  @CodeDrawer

  Is there a way to put this on a GBC cartridge?

  Yeah, there's GBC flash carts. I think Everdrive makes one but they're not cheap! $129.99!

  @brandonmel

  If you haven't fixed it yet.

  Go to Retropie configuration and choose "Bluetooth"
  Now choose "Register and Connect to Bluetooth Device" and while it's searching push the power button on the controller. That should be all.

  I just had a quick look; looks like I have over 2000 bezels for almost 1000 different games. That's not including the conversions Metalzoic did to show the game at full resolution (at the cost of some of the artwork).

  @joeyperoni I use the GPIO method to control my build. Uses the Adafruit utility to mimic keyboard strokes, works well though did take a bit of setting up. Price is right of course. This is what i used as a guide. https://learn.adafruit.com/retro-gaming-with-raspberry-pi/overview
  Im system is 2 player (6 buttons each), 2 start buttons, 2 coin buttons and an exit button.

  But i got by, using the will to learn and read.

  As a result, I bet your setup means a whole lot more to you than anyone who clicked the 'Buy it Now' button.

  I'd say that's a yes for sure. I love it.. Ive spent a long time on my pi but it's all been worth it. I'd recommend it to anyone. If you are less picky than me you could have it running in no time.

  Its a shame to see the hard work put in to retropie development has been exploited, by what seems to be a growing number of people, for a quick buck.

  That being said the development is excellent and i can't praise it enough.
