Most Accurate and Best MAME? and few question on game types.

starmaker69

I have used mame2003 and FBA so far and so far FireBurn does good, but not exactly what i am looking for then mame2003 will play the playchoice bio etc, but so far i noticed as well with both that i have not been able to get a couple games working that should work, such as Bubble Bobble Part 2, i do know the game is correct rom, as i have tested on my mame on PC, i am sure this questions been asked a lot, but which is the best retropie mame?

Next question does the CHD files work any good, such as games like NFL Blitz or something like Killer Instincts?

I noticed game types such as maygay and scorpion tags, what exactly are they, i am guessing these game types most just skip, as i never seem to have got one to work.

Which mame can play all bios no problem, so far i only had success with PlayChoice, NeoGeo and some Mega-Tech, i am sure you guys get where i am getting to here..

Which Mame does Retropie have to offer that can play most stuff i want without a doubt? i am looking to attempt to use just one single mame.. FireBurn as i said above is the best to me so far, but has a few cons.

@starmaker69 Best mame ? depends on your hardware. Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

This comment shows that you really don't understand how mame works.

@starmaker69 No such thing as a single mame for everything on pi's. You're gonna have to look at the compat lists and have multiple versions to suit your needs. I'm using FIVE arcade emulators to run what I want due to a game not being supported at all in one emulator, or one emulator running a game faster than the other. I go down this list in order: fba/fba2012/mame2003/mame2010/mame4all
Forget CHD support. Too slow.

mame maybe not, i am actually still learning about it while i am testing different games, i have gotten about 600 games working on fireburn, got other games working with the other one i tried, gonna go through them all.

what is these scorpion and barcrest games, or whatever they called, i am guessing there maybe sound cards or computer chips, and i am also guessing just dodge these games, i know to dodge pinball games as well, due to i know for the fact retropies cpu can't handle them

and @BuZz out of curiosity are you the same BuZZ from a site known as Buzzboks?

@Darksavior i am not big on compatible list really, i more want to learn myself. and oops, sorry i edit a lot sometimes, i catch things late lol, yes i kinda figured CHD files weren't to great, i have googled about it, and some actually work, but heard they pretty slow.
