          I want to use a program to filter roms, is there a catver.ini for the 2003 plus full rom set.

                      this is just generic instuctions for mame2003 + I didnt write the input system not sure its documented at all.

                      to choose controls types

                      rgui->controls

                      6 button is for snes pad (sf2 layout) and 6 button arcade panels arcade panels should be mapped like below
                      https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-plus-libretro/blob/master/metadata/wipcontrols/snesmapping.png

                      8 button is a core friendly mapping of an arcade panel that should me mapped like this on arcade panels
                      https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-plus-libretro/blob/master/metadata/wipcontrols/10PANEL.png

                      Gampad is for fba compatible arcade panel mapping and should be laid out like this
                      https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-plus-libretro/blob/master/metadata/wipcontrols/modern.png

                      Gamepad is also and alternative layout for xbox/psx controllers for sf2

                      classic Gampad is what you want for most games on a control pad . If your playing sf2 you need to choose modern or snes which ever you prefer for your control pad.

                      if you want keyboard to controls to work like the old mame2003 you need to go to rgui->options and change input interface to simultaneous,

                      peace out

                        the build im using is Pi 3 running RetroPie 4.4
                        mame 2016 shows the correct colors when playing the game unlike 2003-plus which shows a blue background on the intro screens on both afterburner & afterburner 2 instead of the black one on mame2016 & lr-fbalpha

                        @Stuart2773 - Here's what Arcadez had to say about the glitches in After Burner II below. He said it's possible to fix (but not confirmed) and would require significant work for little gain so it probably wouldn't happen due to the older core.

                        A lot of the Sega games using the System 16, 18, etc. hardware do have graphical niggles in this core. After Burner II being one of them, it's not until the MAME 88 - 91 dev cycle when there was a major graphical update that these niggles were sorted. Albeit with a performance drop for some of them.

                        @johnodon - I think Zaxxon should be working again.

                        @Darksavior - I believe Arcadez and @grant2258 are looking at Revolution X to see if a fix is possible. Arcadez posted this explaining the issue. He said the fix would be similar to the Rampage WT fix.

                        9th May 2007: Aaron Giles - Having recently touched all of the TMS34010-based games led me to start looking into some long-standing issues with some of the Williams/Midway Z/Y/X/Wolf-unit games. The first thing to do was to add save state support to them, because playing Revolution X more than once to get to the place where the video craps out is not for the faint of heart. This was relatively straightforward, and also had the side benefit of making some useful data available in the debugger (such as the local_videoram array and the dma_registers array). Side note: any array or pointer you register with state_save_register_global_array/_pointer automatically becomes a viewable option in a memory window in the debugger. This is very handy if you need to expose any internal state. Anyway, it turned out that the Revolution X bug was caused by over-aggressive masking in the blitter code. It was masking out one too many bits in the clipping window and this led to the right edge of the clip window being less than the left edge, effectively clipping out everything during the blit. Hence the black screen.

                        0.114u2: Aaron Giles fixed Revolution X gameplay/finish a level.

                                    Yes same, is it possible to play it now with the last updates ?
                                    I read we must use the CHD files, but is there an updated ROMDAT to use the good set ?
                                    Thanks

                                    Life is game, just play it !

                                      Finally got around to testing these.. For the record, I didn't test sound quality...only that the rom launched and there was sound. I understand that the workaround for 'low sound' is to increase the volume in the service menu.

                                        @johnodon yes thats the usual way people do it you can also press + on your numpad it puts the ra volume up and down as well. No idea if it works on retropie should do though

                                            On a Pi 3 it's like playing in slow motion but it does run fine. Not really playable due to speed though.

                                            I read we must use the CHD files, but is there an updated ROMDAT to use the good set ?

                                            You can download it under the metadata on the Github site here. It may be a few days old though.

                                            You can also start any game, pull up the 'TAB' menu, arrow down to 'Generate XML DAT' and press 'Enter'. It will write out the most current DAT directly from code to /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2003-plus/metadata/mame2003-plus.xml
