    @teller Yes, quite a few games simply don't work in the emulator. None of the super-modern semi-emulated remakes like Astro Blaster or Space Invaders or Centipede do. Them's the breaks.

      Yep. Same problem as teller.
      I will try them on real hardware, and Beebem on PC, just to make sure nothing is missing.

        @SpudsMcToole Firetrack was from 1987.

          I know. So what? No emulator on any platform runs 100% of games perfectly.

            Beebem, ran Firetrack, perfectly. As did my Master 128.
            This Mess emulator, needs a update, or do a port of Beebem.

              @John_RM_70 Sure, that'd be great. Until that happens we're just going to have to deal with the fact that the Retropie MESS emulation doesn't.

                You can deal with it, I'm going to stop using it and stick to the real thing. After all, why would I intentionally take a far worse option ?
                Until this is dealt with, I'm done fucking around with this nonsense.

                  no rushes. it will happen and time will tell.
                  a working libretro port of beebem would be amazing.
                  btw, did somebody tried out runing b-em on retropie? i've read that somebody compiled a working pi version.

                      @teller B-Em uses the library Allegro 4.x and other libraries so I think it would need Raspbian installed.
