yes, advmame can run it, but it's about 0.5fps on a pi3 so not much point. I gave instructions here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2248/ri3-killer-instinct-2-snk-vs-capcom-chaos-plus-not-woking-on-advmame-1-4-0-94/3

@dankcushions You think this is more an emulator thing or the Pi3 capacity thing? Maybe a better Mame version could come up eventually

it's a (slightly) 3d accelerated game so mame won't get any faster, just by its nature. maybe later versions of the pi could run it in mame but they'll need to be quite a lot faster than the pi3!
there was a killer instinct 1 & 2 emulator for the original xbox which might be a good base for a pi emulator, but as far as i can tell it's not open source and/or the source code can't be found.

Even if the source was available it wouldn't be a good base to start from, as it would likely be for the XBox API - DirectX / OS API similar to winnt - I would think a lot of work would be needed.

@T1nmaN Hiya, actually got delayed on the project because of Children and boring life stuff happy to share when complete.

@thrussmeister Thanks! I hear you.

Hi thrussmeister
I would be interested in any list as well if you have one.
Does anybody out there know if there is a master games list somewhere on the net for the 0.78 roms? I have run the lite dat file and now I only have 1650 odd games (eeeeek) in my arcade folder.
If I could get hold of a master list from somewhere then I could look to whittle it down further on paper and then cull on the pi itself.

@jollster101 the lite set already removes all the known non-working roms. there may be a handful that have specific issues on the pi but not many.
anyway, the best list of all the games is the compatibility list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LP1MELCvcxu7TfiowF_0ZuvRVEMqlfQyTVetnOJvuJc/edit?usp=sharing

@dankcushions Its not the non working roms as such but more being able to whittle the total number in the lite down further. I am also looking at Don's Hyperspin Tools (or some other app that you can filter genres by) to possibly filter and reduce.
