      Hi guys;

      recently I'm install retropie and I see that the packet mame4all could launch several game, I see that recomended is install or set the mame2003.

      I'm using the last version of Retropie in a rasberry 3.

      could anyone tell me how add the mame2003 to the emulators, because I have only ir-mame4all and mame4all.

      Thanks a lot in advanced.

        Unless something has changed lr-mame2003 should be the default. To check which MAME you are using, launch a rom and wait for the little white box in the center of the screen. Do what it says by pressing 'A' and a configuration screen should appear. Look for the listing that reads "Select default emulator for MAME". The next screen will present you with a list of possible MAME versions. If lr-mame2003 isn't selected, then select it and work your way back to the first configuration window and select "Launch". If lr-mame2003 is somehow not an option, then you will indeed have to install it. At that point, you can come back here and I, or someone else will elaborate on that.

          Hello, really you just need to put all Roms in the ARCADE, folder that way you can set it up a lot easier and see all your emulators....to select which one for default, then for ones that run better or get working you can select a single emulator for just that room not ,have to select it each time, once you select it. It will be there untill you change it....

          Hope that helps.... Any ?, Please ask....

            Putting your roms in the 'Arcade' folder is indeed a valid option. If you choose to do that, the instructions for changing the default emulator remain largely the same. No matter which route you take, just remember to match the required rom set to the emulator you want to use to eliminate as many compatibility issues as possible.
