          Since you're using Mame4all, can you confirm that you are only using game ROMs from the Mame 0.37b5 ROM set? Information on verifying and managing ROM sets can be found here.

            @mediamogul I don't understand anything about emulation or roms. Are their only certain rom sets that will work the mame?

              @tom1155 if you don't understand anything about it you didn't read the documentation. Have another read on the wiki and come back if you still have questions

              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

                That question is very clearly explained in the very clear documentation provided. I wrote this to complement it all but you still post a crazy quotes like I don't understand. Take time and read this page. Its obvious you haven't.

                  @tom1155 Also I see you are using a phone charger to power your Pi3. It needs 2.5 A. If you plug stuff in and you are rated less than this, expect trouble.
