I was too verbose in the previous post. Let me summarize:

The all_users_control_menu doesn't make all plugged controllers control the menu. Actually it just makes all controllers bound to a player control the menu.

If I have a plugged controller not bound to any player, this controller can not control the menu.

Changing Device Index on-the-fly still can bring some unpleasant situations, like I detailed here (the all_users_control_menu decreases the chance to make it happen, though).

Alternatively, in uae4arm you could use xboxdrv and map Start as KEY_F12 and Select as KEY_Q, which would give you the desired effect.

@vbs I'd recommend you to take a look here:

@Slighty Does it do it with the noobs sd card? I think that 64GB cards are not formatted as FAT32, but as exFAT, you must use a tool to convert them to FAT32, as a Pi cannot boot from an exFAT partition. You must use an alternative formatting program after using the official one, to convert (re-format) the resulting exFAT file system to FAT32. Something like http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm

I can't explain the initial power up thing, maybe something is happening to the card during the bootfail that fixes it ready for next time only for it to fail again. Is your card compatible with the list? I doubt that it's a hardware issue to be honest, it has to be with the setup of the card.

@Jhobgood are the roms on the thumb drive in /RetroPie/roms/snes/ ?

Ok can we slow this down a bit please, I currently don't have access to my pi and I think my roms are in the right place because they are coming up, I used the USB transfer method. I will get back to you when I can access the pi

@Thorbertha I am amazed you have started this thread. What about this thread you started?
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/5232/i-can-t-get-mame-to-work
You know you need more info from all the replies in there!?

@giventofly I use windows version of emulationstation, and i had a lot of bugs and issues with mame libretro cores so I use a normal version of mame (not libretro version) that matches all my romset, but it's a headhache because you need to specify a lot of path to get it working like expected.

This is my es_systems.cfg:

<system>
<name>mame</name>
<fullname>MAME</fullname>
<path>~.emulationstation\roms\mame</path>
<extension>.7z</extension>
<command>%HOME%.emulationstation\systems\mame\mameui.exe -inipath %HOME%.emulationstation\systems\mame -cfg_directory %HOME%.emulationstation\systems\mame\cfg -nvram_directory %HOME%.emulationstation\systems\mame\nvram -input_directory %HOME%.emulationstation\systems\mame\inp -artpath %HOME%.emulationstation\systems\mame\artwork -state_directory %HOME%.emulationstation\systems\mame\sta -samplepath %HOME%.emulationstation\systems\mame\samples -rompath %HOME%.emulationstation\roms\mame "%ROM_RAW%" -waitvsync -triplebuffer -multithreading -throttle -filter -effect triad6</command>
<platform>arcade</platform>
<theme>mame</theme>
</system>

The bios files must be inside the roms folder, so I use the bios files in zip format and roms in 7z format, as you can see on my system config I only use 7z for roms so that way the bios files are hidden on gamelist and I only see the roms.

I hope this helps somebody. Regards.

@csetera I think it's best to use ADVMame for ALL vector games. I recently tried it and the resolution is a lot higher making the vector look crisp, and mouse/analogue works with all appropriate games.

@Zigurana

Strange new problem happened when i installed Retropie 4.1 and then Es-kids.

When i have roms from mame2003 in libretro-mame folder or arcade folder es wont start and boots to cmd line. This don't happen with regular es.

@PetroRie said in I can't get MAME to work:

Also I would like to say if you manage to get it work, dont update the mame emulator anymore. Because if you do you will need a newer romset so you need to convert them etc. Can be a pain in the butt.

only lr-fbalpha core keeps parity with current FBA romset. you can safely update the rest without worrying about your romset :)

Which RPI version? What kind of SD card? How large is the storage of the SD card? You need to provide more info so people can help you.

@BuZz I understand....I was just in a hurry to get up and running...and with the info I received....my issues was resolved...

you will probably need a powered usb hub for the controller.

@inteldork those sdl errors are normal. The dependencies get fixed after usually.
