      @mitu by the way, it is not just those emulators that don’t work- even some of the ones preinstalled via binary- not sure if my Roms are bad or smth..

        lr-mame

        Read https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Arcade/ (and possibly https://docs.libretro.com/guides/arcade-getting-started/ which goes into more details). Don't expect arcade emulation will work if you don't.

        As for the other emulators, you should read their documentations too.

          Most ROM files are known and their checksum can be easily verified against a known source of information like https://datomatic.no-intro.org or (for cd-rom ISO files) http://redump.org/. SNES/NES/GBA emulation is pretty much working fine so if you have issues with that, then I'd double check the ROM files.

          For arcade games, do follow @barbudreadmon's advice and read the docs first for it.
          If you feel that it's an emulator problem then provide a verbose log from running the emulator with the game(s) in question. Use pastebin.com to post the log file's content.

            @mitu thank you I will read it, but before this post is removed do you have any good ROM sites? I use RomsPedia but I’m still looking for another good site.

              @Garrett216 we don't remove posts, even if they breach the forum rules, except for outright spam posts. As for your question - this is not a ROM site, see rule 1. of the forums.

                @mitu I don’t really know anything about BIOS files. Could you tell me more about them cause I don’t know where to get them.

                        Getting a core to work is usually a matter of reading its documentation, not a matter of luck.
