      Hello everyone,

      I've uploaded a bunch of mame ROMs to my raspberry pi 3b. I know the ROMs are working and I made sure they were compatible in the ROM set. Didn't unzip the files when transferring and put them in fda folder. When I tested out the games I uploaded nothing seemed to work, I saw https://downloader.vip/itunes/ comments on a video I was following to install lr-fbalpha2012 but even after that and specifically choosing it in startup made no difference. What am I doing wrong?

        @mark77 Please add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

        Are you using the fbalpha standalone or the Libretro core (lr-fbalpha) ?
        If you're sure you have the right ROMs (checked against the FBAlpha .dat files ?), make sure the ROMs BIOS .zip files are present also - if needed.
        What ROM are you trying to run and it's not running - can you give an example ?

          Ignore my comment if you saw it. I'm going mental. Can't even remember what we include with retropie :-) (I said we don't include a standalone fba, which we do. But it is called pifba afair)

            @BuZz You were not far from the truth, for some reason I had it in mind that fbalpha was also distributed as a standalone emulator, but it's just pifba (and the older lr-fbalpha-2012).
