I will test for sure just let me know when the binaries are ready.

BuZz

I won't built new binaries until someone has tested it a bit, so you could build from source now and give it a spin :-)

Pretty smooth thus far, The bugs are noted in the blog,

Rtype works.

Rion

@Twitch0815 What blog?

I think the big question is: Does it keep working with the 0.173 ROMset?

[edit]
In the "Fixes and new features" section says:

Sync. romsets with MAME 0.175 [Barry]

And in the "Clones and updated romsets in existing drivers" section says:

[...Added a bunch of ROMs]
Updated The King of Fighters '99 (15th Anniversary Edition) to 20160827 Build [JacKc]
Updated The King of Fighters '98 (Combo/Ivex Hack) to 20161004 Build [JacKc]
...

Are these two ROMs from 0.173 the only affected by this update?

[edit2]
I updated the Managing Roms wiki. The lr-fba-next gamelist link (that in the "# of ROMs" column) was pointing to the most uptodate gamelist.txt. Now it's pointing to the specific 0.2.97.38 version.

Question: the wiki says that lr-fba-next has 4150 games, but the gamelist.txt says "8779 games supported". Where did this 4150 come from?

The best way to away keep up to date on Mame/Arcade is to have the latest Mame and Mame Rollback Roms.
I have not rebuild FBA yet to correspond to Mame 0.175 so i cant say.
But i do regularly update my Mame sets when new versions come out.

The romsets update (in general) is killing me :)

Anyone get cps2 games working? None work for me. I'm not 100% sure my games are updated..I just extracted update packs upto 0.175.
woops. here's my log:
Parameters: 0 SYS fba /media/usb0/fba/sfa3.zip
Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-fba-next/fbalpha_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/fba/retroarch.cfg "/media/usb0/fba/sfa3.zip" --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg

Update: Tried it on pc mame since that'll spit out an error that will help me. Looks like it was missing its .key file. I guess these updates packs didn't update the cps2 games

Twitch0815

Yea tested a few and they are working. Just using the 2.97.38 romset havent converted over to the full 39

BuZz

the retropie binaries for the rpi have now been updated to the latest version.

@Darksavior hello mate is there an easy way to update this , i am running floob image retropie 4.1
thanks

Floob

@juice You can update the binaries
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Updating-RetroPie

Obviously you should get the relevant romsets as well.

juice

thanks floob, i would like to say a big thanks for your image and videos, you made me a very happy man. i am a hyper spinner for years and the stress of setting that up was hidious and rewarding at the same time, this is so simple and on a pi3 aswell . will you be updating a new image in the future.

ps one other question, i am having trouble with a few sega system 16 games, they have very scratchy sound (ie altered beast at the start when he say rise from your grave and in golden axe when you kill the 1st few the samples are scratchy and pitched to high). could you test these if you have time you confirm if this is the emulator or not i have tryed it on both fba next and mame2003. i have the correct romset

thanks mate keep up the good work

@juice
Mame-2010 is the only emulator that'll run most of them with good sound. I use that with Altered Beast, Dynamite Dux, E-Swat, Golden Axe and Shinobi. Moonwalker runs way too slow on my PI2 so I have to use the old lr-mame4all for that one.
