      @supersmilers different versions of mame have different romsets even if the files are the same. its all explained on the wiki page you keep ignoring.

      If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

      Also if you want a solution to your problems read this first: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

        @herb_fargus Oh. I guess. Well, I guess I have to find one with common romset as MAME64.
        Gotta keep looking with RomCenter
        Oh I found it: AdvancedMAME 1.2

          FYI:
          this is what I found:
          advmame

          Looks like I'm on track

            i don't understand what the problem is. clrmamepro should rename all these files for you, if they are the correct checksum. it's all in the wiki.

              @dankcushions Oh. look here... I found out that Advmame datfile doesn't have filesize for the samples... So I'm going to manually edit the datfile to get RomCenter to detect it.

                samples aren't placed in the zip in my experience. certainly not mandatory to get it to run.

                  @dankcushions well it is for donkey kong and others because some rely on effects for timing.

                        Smaples are only for certain sound effects in mame4all. It'll run fine without it.
                        Why not just download the correct romset for the correct mame? Shows in the wiki that you have been pointed to what version works with what romset.
                        Here is the MAME wiki again

                          You might need Namco ROM 5.1 and or 5.4. Download 'm from the known places. My Pi version of Advance Mame needs 'm to play certain Namco games, but the Mame4all version doesn't...

                          Bear in mind, like others said, that there are quite al lot of Mame versions and each needs it own ROM set to plague us retro-gamers.

                          Succes. :-)
