0.78 romset, anything else i could be doing wrong?
Edit** Outfoxies is on the list for newly supported, but it runs exactly theupdate your roms make the dat in mame or grab it from the metadata folder
-
Got a question. I just updated from source and found that the mame menu has changed and input general and input this game are no longer available. Did those options go somewhere else?
-
NVM, found my answer on github. Under Quick Menu \ Options, the very last setting is something like Use MAME Remappings. Setting that to enabled brought those options back.
-
@capeman I don't think the pi will run the Mr. Driller arcade version decently. Even on AdvMame it plays quite slow.
For your Mr. Driller fix I would recommend the PSX version or GBC, GBA or Wonderswan.

Is there anyway to disable the copyright/legal notice that pops up at the start of mame2003 plus?

It can be disabled via the Options menu in the RetroArch GUI (the menu you get when you press Start+Select)

Thank you

Any possibility of Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder backward support? Currently that game has some issues in Mame2003.
Can I ask what exactly has been improved (as of today) with Mortal Kombat 2 and Ultimate MK3?
-
Is there an issue with highscores and bally midway games? Just confirmed that neither tapper or rbtapper are saving highscores in mame2003+. Any ideas?

Ninja Baseball Bat Man
how about the performance of Ninja Baseball Bat Man, does it have slow down or sound shutter issue?

The slowdown won't change. It's pretty much 60fps most of the time on my pi3b+ overclocked to 1.5ghz. mame2003/plus is the fastest way to play it too. FBA is much slower.

@darksavior yeah, finally i choose lr-mame2003-plus to play the game, though it is not the fastest emulator(which is advmame3.8), but the most balanced one.

I don't overclock mine, the game runs slower than 60fps for sure on both mame2003 and plus, you can tell in the sound, it sounds like its constantly stuttering. Not talking about standard game slowdown from too many sprites on screen, just overall performance.

The pi is too slow. It's not the game's fault. You need to overclock to get rid of most of the slowdown. I only get slowdowns on my oc'd pi on the intro to the stages only. The rest of the game is mostly 60fps solid.
-
If you don't want to overclock for whatever reason, you can also get full frame rate during game play by using AdvanceMAME 3.x. It'll reduce the slowdown on the stage intros as well, but not eliminate it altogether.

just put frameskip on if you dont want to overclock or use a more powerful box to run your emulation there is only so much a pie can do. A mini pc is what you need install linux and retropie on that

Frameskip has the major disadvantage of disrupting a player's timing. The Pi is indeed an under-powered computer, but RetroArch also adds a lot of overhead not found in standalone emulators. Many arcade games that are right on the edge of acceptable performance can be improved greatly by just picking a more appropriate emulator on a case-by-case basis. Fortunately, RetroPie makes that very easy.

Well its a balanced choice when you dont have enough processing power. The pi is good enough for most older stuff im not disputing that. Some users really dont know they can update there hardware and still use retropie. I personally use something else for my barcade that lets me use native emulators and have my retropie at the tv for the old consoles although I have these in my barcade as well.

Very nice. I have a similar setup myself. I use an older, but more powerful computer in my MAME cabinet and I use my Pi for console gaming and whatever arcade games I can squeeze out of it. Despite it's technical superiority, I don't really play or work on my cabinet very much. For whatever reason, I've just always found it more fun working and playing with the Pi.
-
I have to admit I think retropie has a real strength that lot of other pi distros don't it supports native emulators as well. Going 100% ra locks users in that environment. I like tinkering and customizing it is nice to have options
