      It's obvious that post-2003 versions of MAME suffer from massive slowdowns, especially on 3D (polygonal) titles, while 2000 and 2003 builds aren't much compatible either.

      The solution to expanding the arcade game collection for titles such as the Tekken series is PS1 emulation that works decently on the Pi 3.

      As I don't want to add a huge amount of titles (due to the massive storage requirements of CD images) and I mostly care about arcade games, I'm making a list of arcade ports for the PS1 that MAME/FBA can't run (properly or at all):

      Air/Ace Combat
      Air/Ace Combat 2
      Air/Ace Combat 3
      Area 51 (not sure if it works with gamepads)
      Arkanoid Returns (works with non-libretro MAME)
      Batman Forever
      Battle Arena Toshinden series (though only 2 was an arcade game)
      Bishi Bashi Special
      Bloody Roar
      Bloody Roar 2
      Bubble Bobble II / Bubble Symphony (unreleased but complete, works with non-libretro MAME/AdvMAME)
      Capcom vs. SNK Pro
      Cleopatra Fortune (works with non-libretro MAME/AdvMAME)
      Crypt Killer (not sure if it works with gamepads)
      Cyber Sled
      Dance Dance Revolution
      Darius Gaiden (works with non-libretro MAME/AdvMAME)
      Dead or Alive
      Ehrgeiz
      Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition
      Fighters Impact
      G-Darius
      Gauntlet Legends
      Golden Tee 3D Golf
      Guilty Gear (honourable mention)
      Heaven's Gate
      Hydro Thunder
      Judge Dredd
      Maximum Force (not sure if it works with gamepads)
      Midnight Run
      Mortal Kombat 4
      Mortal Kombat Trilogy (honourable mention)
      Mr. Driller
      NBA Hangtime
      NBA Jam Extreme
      NBA Showtime
      NFL Blitz
      NFL Blitz 2000
      Ninja Hayate (alternative to Daphne)
      Pac Man World 20th Anniversary (honourable mention)
      Parodius Jikkyou Oshaberi
      Pitfall 3D (honourable mention)
      Point Blank series (not sure if it works with gamepads)
      Pong: The Next Level (honourable mention)
      Pop'n Pop
      Power Diggerz/Shovel
      Pro Pinball Series (honourable mention for pinball)
      Primal Rage
      Psychic Force
      Psychic Force 2012
      Puchi Carat
      Radikal Bikers
      RC de GO!
      Rampage 2: Universal Tour (honourable mention)
      Rampage World Tour (works with non-libretro MAME)
      RayStorm
      Ready 2 Rumble Boxing (honourable mention)
      Revolution X (not sure if it works with gamepads)
      Ridge Racer
      Rival Schools
      Road Blaster (alternative to Daphne)
      Robotron X
      San Francisco Rush
      Sexy Parodious (works with non-libretro MAME)
      Side by Side Special
      Soul Edge/Blade
      Star Gladiator
      Star Sweep
      Starblade
      Street Fighter EX
      Street Fighter EX 2 Plus
      Street Fighter: The Movie (indirect arcade port)
      Strider/Hiryu 2
      Tekken
      Tekken 2
      Tekken 3
      Tempest 2000 (honourable mention)
      Terra Diver
      Thunder Storm (alternative to Daphne)
      Time Crisis
      Time Gal (alternative to Dapnhe)
      Tokimeki Memorial Taisen Puzzle-Dama
      Touki Denshou Angel Eyes
      War Gods
      Xevious 3D/G+

      I'm pretty sure that my list is incomplete, you are very welcome to submit more arcade titles that were ported to the PS1.

        @matchaman Some corrections from taking a quick look at this:
        The arcade versions of Wonder3 (3 Wonders), Strikers 1945, Dodonpachi, and In The Hunt ran fine last time I checked.
        There was never an arcade version of Harmful Park.
        Daphne games inferior to the ps1 versions? haha.
        I wish I could get the Daphne version of Time Gal running but I gave up a while back.

          If I recall correctly, Cyberbots works fine on FBA. Also, another (exceptionally good) alternative to Mortal Kombat Trilogy is the Ultimate Mortal Kombat Trilogy rom hack for UMK3 on the Genesis.

            Updated with the aforementioned corrections. As for the Laserdisc titles, I am having trouble with several Daphne titles and that's why I suggested those instead.

            The Ultimate Mortal Kombat Trilogy hack is great and even more complete than MKT but the graphics are quite limited in comparison.

              I am having trouble with several Daphne titles

              I've never heard an explanation as to why, but several titles are indeed non-functional on the Rpi version of Daphne.

              The Ultimate Mortal Kombat Trilogy hack is great and even more complete than MKT but the graphics are quite limited in comparison.

              Something else to consider is the release of 'Mortal Kombat Trilogy' for DOS. It is a direct port of MKT v1.1 for the Playstation, but it eliminates load times which, among other things, makes playing as Shang Tsung smooth as glass.

              RetroPie v4.5 • RPi3 Model B • 5.1V 2.5A PSU • 16GB SanDisk microSD • 512GB External Drive

                I didn't know about the DOS port! Great to hear because indeed those loading times where unjustified for the content.

                  I'd add JoJo's Adventure to the list; much better in both PS1 and Dreamcast as supposed to MAME or FBA, which are choppy and laggy af

                  As always, depending on your board/sd/setup, YMMV

                    @Shizzmoney On which Pi is Jo Jo slower? It runs fullspeed on my pi2 and my pi3 using fba.

                      Both JoJo games run fine on my stock Pi 3 with lr-fba, I see no slowdown whatsoever.

                        Also under AdvanceMame Jojo runs perfect as well as Warzard and SF3:2nd Strike, as far as CPS3 is concerned.

                          Updated with Capcom vs. SNK Pro. I always thought it's the same with SNK vs Capcom but it's a totally different game, with Capcom-based style instead!

                            Taito F3 ("Bubble Bobble 2", "Arkanoid Returns", "Cleopatra Fortune", "Darius Gaiden", ...) is supported in fba since 2 months (release .40).

                              @barbudreadmon Unfortunately, they're too slow to be enjoyable. ~30fps in fba. ~45fps in mame2003.

                                  Rampage World Tour

                                  works fine on Pi3 with mame. Check here.

                                    @sirhenrythe5th It's not a libretro core. I'm spoiled:P I'm fine with whatever ports ended up on ps1.

                                      Correct. Bubble Symphony runs great on AdvMame.

                                      Time Crisis works (or should work) with a pad, though it's far from ideal. I owned it on the PSX with the light gun, and it was a fun game to play. You'd plug in a second pad to the player 2 port and use it as a pedal.

                                      Class.

                                      Edit: oh. You missed Bishi Bashi Special. Great multiplayer party-like game.

                                          @Darksavior I just used a new rom dump for jojo.zip and it worked. I must of had a bad dump previously.

                                            @matchaman just to unterstand this for me: what is the big advantage of using libreto-Mame?
                                            Is it only the point that you dont have to map the Inputs a second time or is there something else?
