  @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.

  Hi, I would like to filter the fbneo roms by category. Is there a dedicated catver.ini or which one comes close enough? Thanks.

  @tomybyte Appreciated. Using the trigger startx should not be required to launch Bstone source port or any other given port as far as i know. What version of RetroPie and Raspberry Pi board are you using? Were you able to run Bstone directly after the first time that you downloaded the scriptmodule and installed it through RetroPie setup? Did you try reinstalling Bstone from RetroPie setup to see if it fixes the SDL error? Xboxdrv guide for RetroPie is here. I suggest looking through the docs first before use. If you have trouble with getting it to work, then i may be able to share some more information on how to use it. Also it is noted that you should only be using xboxdrv if the source port/game does not natively support a gamepad.

  @rogerdodger I was lucky to find the 25th A. DVD it for only 4€ on the German eBay. At first, I thought that it had to be a fake, but for that price it was worth the risk, and it turned out to be genuine. 😵 😂 @insx Maybe check out eBay or other usual suspects on a regular basis?

  @nono6493 Considering your list has both City Connection and Mr Do! on it, you get a pass. XD Those are two great titles. And I still hate that cat.

  @Clyde Excellent ! A different team had a version of Hakchi (3.6.0) working with the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis Mini with a Retroarch frontend but pulled the software as it had many bugs regarding compatibility with the Nes/Snes classics and are reworking their version of Hakchi at the moment. Have fun with it ! :-)

  @mitu I see. So the fact that buster has a 3G/1G kernal is allowing these videos to pop up. Am I correct? Thanks for the response.

  @Striderx99 not a chance. Madrigals simulations are very different than the low level code derived from decapping chips. Sean riddle and algestam have been slowly adding game and watch titles to mame but you'll need both the dumped rom and latest version of mame to run it You can see more details on the process on this guy's Twitter feed: https://mobile.twitter.com/algestam?lang=en

  @MikeM68 said in Plug and play systems. Recommendations?: Found several retailers online and my favorite so far is a bar top by https://gameroomsolutions.com/ Like so many others, they're violating Retropie's many noncommercial licenses by selling Retropie as part of their GUTS pack ("pre-flashed with attract mode/retropie"). Like @quicksilver said, you'll get only support for the original RPie image here. So, I'd recommend shunning pre-built images and building your own system. In my experience, it's much more satisfying and you'll learn much in the process. edit: For the sake of completeness, this thread lists many legal sources for roms. Be sure to check the later posts as well as the opening post, since the latter hasn't been updated since Dec 2017.

  All the trackballs are pretty much the same. The hardest part is make sure you use multimouse in MAME settings if you have more than 1 mouse device, as you want to be able to set device specific sensistivity values. You can figure out per games sensivity values with some info from here: https://web.archive.org/web/20160421175734/http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Spinner_Turn_Count

  @MrLightgun thank you for reply! I have no Dolphin bar, I use just USB sensor bar from AliExpress without buttons and modes, and it works great :) Retroarch version is 1.7.9 for Windows. Also for games wich use Konami Justifier gun (for those games has a patches, for using Guncon ) , I use this custom settings X;Y position (Project Horned Owl, Die Hard Trilogy ,Crypt Killer they working great): Other lightgun games for Guncon working fine with deafault settings.
