      @RoswellWitness there are a number of bashers in this forum. It has happened to me. When they are asking about your setup, they want to know the actual hardware and software you are using ie; Raspberry pi version 3 and stuff like that. I have had the same problem as you with MAME and arcade sticks, so keep asking your questions. Sorry I do not have an answer for you on this one

        @doctorstork I don't think it's an accident you have -14 reputation - you are not a victim.

        People are giving up their free time to help you, so the least you can do is read the read me first link (properly). We are all tired of repeating it again and again - despite the fact it's in bold at the top of every page and you have to press "AGREE" when registering to say you have read it.

        The post clearly states what information to provide when posting.

        To help us help you - please make sure you read the sticky topics before posting - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

          No one has responded with the intent of bashing you and none of this is about how tech savvy you are. It's just that we've now directed you to read and follow the instructions of a very short page that is also noted at the top of every page and that you also agreed to have read as part of signing up here. Our frustration is only that after being told in three different contexts what we need in order to help you, that you would still choose to ignore our requests.

          @doctorstork

          When you first got here, you had the same resistance to give any of us even the most basic information about your setup. As I remember, it got to the point where people believed you to be a troll.

                Is that how they call a person who loves to code bash scripts? Indeed, there are many bashers here. :-)

                  Another word to the wise, try not to anger @meleu up there. He once shot a man for using tabs instead of spaces.

                        @RoswellWitness I'm pretty sure that when you follow the advices in the read-me-first post and give the needed info to get help the help will come in a couple of minutes and jokes will stop.

                        C'mon man! I know you're better than that!! ;-)

                          @meleu It's all good. Once I figure out what info I am supposed to give, and where to find it, I will repost this whole mess.

                            @BuZz I was a victim. you need to review why I was verbally abused and accused of trolling! That is why I have a -14 reputation.

                              @RoswellWitness That is what I was accused of doing...totally unfounded. I asked a simple question as a new person on the forum and the bashers came out of the woodwork.

                                  You need to discover what version of MAME you're using. AFAIK we have 7 different versions.

                                  Look here: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/MAME/
