  @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.

  @strangeruk If you use the command line scraper, sselph it does allow you to remove the suffix -video, -image, etc.

  But doing that would require a rescrape of all your stuff.

  RPi3 Win 3.1/95 Emulation In DOSBox?

  I got Windows 95 to work in a Dosbox version that is not on the Pi. It was extremely difficult to set up, and it ran awful. I wouldn't bother trying to get the pi to run it. It can be done. It might even be possible to get everything working right if you give the source code a massive adjustment.

  Wine might be more with trying to get running on the Pi, and seeing what your games do. I doubt it would be good.

  I don't see a reason why an emulator couldn't be created for win 3.xx and 95. I wouldn't want to be the one to write that program though lol. That would a lot of work.

  Hi,

  This works all fine! Thx!
  But i have a question.

  I have many songs in the rome file.
  Also i set a startsong for the first boot from ES.
  This all works great.
  Song play at start and than random music.

  But i wanna have a second "startsong" who plays if i leave the game /emulator.

  for example:

  RPI3 boot -> ES Starts -> Startsong "A" plays -> after song, random music starts -> Start game -> exit game -> Startsong "B" plays -> after song, random music starts

  can someone help me?

  System:

  RPI3 Retropie 4.2.16

  @ccouteiro said in Exit from Mame games:

  I guess not , once i only configure in emulation station the:

  UP; DOWN;RIGHT;LEFT

  And 4 buttons, the others ones i passed... I will checked tonight when i arrive home from work...

  When i ´m playing street fighter i push tab to configure mame controls on mame menu, and in general configuration it only appears 4 buttons per player...
  Which is the best way to configure controls for MAME? 0.78 is better than Advanced MAME 1.4?
  Thanks

  assuming you mean street fighter 2?

  I think it orders the list of controls strangely - there should be 6 buttons per player somewhere in the list, but you may have to hunt for them.

  both adv mame and 0.78 will be the same in this regard, i believe.

  @ruckage I thought Sonic Mania was getting a release for the Megadrive?
  Is it only current-gen? Then I'll have to try it on PS4.

  commodore, msx/2 and FDS (famicom disk system) have some decent games you might enjoy. Commodore also has quite the fan base since people are still making games for it as well.

  @ccouteiro said in Pulling my hair out about MAME. Pi3. ROM set 0.78.:

  Can we just open the SD card with retropie writed , on Windows with card reader, and simply copy the downloaded romset to the FBA rom folder ?

  That's not possible. The SD uses UNIX formatted partitions that are not directly readable in Windows.
  You can access the ROM folders on your Pi from Windows explorer thru your home network (samba share).

  There were false DCMA claims from ID Software.
  Some ports were not distributing any wads but were removed never to be seen ag

  Also:
  @herb_fargus
  Some handy code here, hope the retropie coders will look thru it.
  https://github.com/emileb?tab=repositories

  I tested this beloko dude's ports.
  Here's his git.
  He has another hidden git somewhere been trying to get him to share his ports with the retropie team because they are very functional.

  mostly love these.
  https://github.com/emileb/OpenGames
  Tested them all on droid.
  we must port to pi

  He also has a working port of commander keen.

  @capeman I knew that the game ran on the Sonic Worlds engine, but I didn't know that it the engine ran on top of a retail software (Clickteam Multimedia Fusion 2.5 freamework).
  Thank you for your research.
  Man I'm really sad.

  @krakenrelease Your first post is a link to your site with an affiliate link to buy a controller? I don't think so.

  Link removed - I was going to ban/delete your account, but I'll give you a chance to explain why it wasn't spam in case I have somehow made a mistake.
