      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 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.
