      Google "MAME 2003 Reference Set". Look for update 2 and download. The set is admittedly large, but it does contain the version of 'Galaga' you'll need. Also, if you are living in the United States, this method has the benefit of being perfectly legal, as this organization has be granted exemption to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, allowing the downloads to bypass US copy protection laws. However, on the chance that you live outside the US, my initial instructions were intentionally vague. Once downloaded, the files should be used with lr-mame2003, which is currently the default MAME emulator in RetroPie and should be placed in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro.

        I'd suggest reading through this, then come back with anything you need clarified:

        https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2859/how-to-use-mame-with-retropie-help-guide

        Please read the Docs before asking a new question.

          @mediamogul Hi Mate, I did as you said, nothing, retropie does not even see the files at all, I got every version of galaga from the reference set you said, I read the links from the guy below, I got as far as a video that steps you through clrmamepro, but I am on mac so I can not follow it, I just want galaga, galaga original, to work on my raspberry pie, I am totally confused why this is as hard as it is, it can not just be about legality of roms, this game was made before I was born, everyone is watching westworld and not everyone in the world has hbo, I can not for the life of me understand why I am in day 3 of trying to get a game that is like 200kbs to work, nes roms, sns roms, pc engine, put them in the folder and they work, why is there this rebuild process, and if it so then why cant I find "for latest retropie to play galaga do this and then this and thats it". there must be some non techy people on here who have the same problem, thanks for answering my post, can we water it down and give a non tech answer, or better yet, say this rom right here works with this in retro pie as is, if I was near you I would buy several cold beers as a reward for you or anyone that can simplify this for me, but were on the the internet so a internet high five is the best I can offer

            So when you place galaga.zip in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/ and reboot the system, Emulation Station doesn't show the game listing? Does the MAME menu even appear for you?

              Are you by chance unzipping galaga.zip? It must remain zipped to function properly.

                @mediamogul I was unzipping them, so that is that explained, but now it is saying missing files on all the version of galaga, is it a case of writting them down, manually finding them and then unzipping then rezipping them, is there anywhere which has a version of galaga that works straight away, other games are now working now that they are not zipped, so just need galaga that works with one of the eumlators on here now, thanks for the pick up Mediamogul

                    See the links above regarding correct romsets (which is why you were getting missing files). You found a working version it seems, but in general you need to match up the correct version with the mame emulator you are using.

                          the galaga in that one seems to work well,

                          The main thing to remember is always use the right rom set for the right arcade emulator. The key here was using the 'galaga.zip' from the MAME 2003 reference set with the MAME 2003 emulator.

                            @Garryjones I am using a Linux VM with Linux Mint 18 with Retropie 4.02. I downloaded the Mame 2003 Reference Set update 2 and loaded all the galaga roms from them. None of them seem to work so I rebuilded them through clrmamepro and retried. Still none of them work.

                            Here is the runncommand.log for galaga.zip

                              @wscol your issue isn't mame-related, but GL/shader related, it looks like. presumably no games work.

                              i imagine it's to do with your setup:

                                The only game that works is a port of Duke Nukem 3D. So how do I fix the issue with the shader.

                                  start a new thread.. i wouldn't know where to start. it's not to do with galalga or mame, in any case.

                                      @BuZz Thanks for formatting my post. I was able to get Galaga to work on Linux Mint by disabling the proprietory video driver. However I do not have any sound. I will do a seperate post for the sound issue.
