Mame4all-pi seems to have the best performance of them all but AdvanceMAME has support for more games. imame4all libretro can be compelling because it utilises RetroArch controller configurations.

so i guess with the pi1 you'll be wanting all the performance you can get, so go for mame4all-pi

@dankcushions said in how to create my own dat file for manage MAME ROMs?:

you need to use romlister. if you search for that you should find what you need.

Oh man! A big thank you for this recommendation!! The Romlister is very very usefull to deal with the mess of managing MAME ROMs!

if ethernet or wlan is available -> Yes
so this is a real nice way to speed up the boot process, if u don't need network availability on startup (e.g. boot from lan ...)

Thank you very much, GrethTom, F12 worked perfectly however no response from "Q".....

Yes, that was also one of the reasons why I didn't try any harder and also did the migration to Jessie in the same process...

I know the file can be overwritted, but i still using Retropie 2 , when i managed to update it (maybe in a few months) will be easier. (This is a college project so i dont want to broke it)

@Rascas

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So happy!

Thanks for the info.

It's a pity there isn't a Sega CD and a Mega CD roms folder, like there is for Megadrive and Genesis. This would save people having to edit config files etc. if they are not comfortable doing so. Same could be said for PC Engine and Turbografx16.

@Twitch0815 said in N64 roms stuttering:

@stumbows
Press x when you launch the game it will give you the runcommand menu
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/runcommand
Read that throughly then you will understand

Reference
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Sn3Ks3Xv8cIx3-LGCozVFF7wGLagpVG0csWybnwFHXk/edit
when deciding which setting is the best.

Then once you have mastered that read
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Optimization for Nintendo 64
And make sure to keep up with it so that you can be appraised of improvments for N64.

Thanks for the useful info, I have a proper handle on it now. Seems like I really need to be looking at overclocking for it to work properly. I may have to give up on playing Goldeneye as I really don't want to overlclock my Pi.

Yes I am getting the same issues, just waiting on news about a fix.

Note that the internal bluetooth on the RPI3 currently has problems and will crash the system - there are at least 3 other threads about it and an upstream ticket here - https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/1360

Thank you @BuZz. I'll give that ago.

I did fix my ECDSA issue by deleting the know hosts file from my mac and setting up the root account on the pi.

bump....

By default UAE4ARM does not launch directly into a rom or config file, only the basic GUI. Look at the following link on a way to launch into a config file: http://blog.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/launch-amiga-games-from-retropie-menu/

@joes944 said in fsck retropie 3.7:

does Retropie 3.7 automatically do a file check on startup?

yes it does.

your other option is to upgrade the stick's board to the newest revision. x-arcade.com has an upgrade board (in the x-adapters section, the usb upgrade) that no longer requires the numlock to work (uses the arrow keys instead of the numberpad keys). I had to upgrade my solo stick (oldest one didn't support usb) and that was one of the new features that I also got with it. It also doesn't require you to press the program button twice to enable a custom codeset (another nice feature)
