@sirhenrythe5th I'm not an expert so I'm not sure. I would assume that would also require a better gpu as well. I mainly use the Pegasus front-end and that got a boost in speed when I switched from a pi3b+ to a pi4.

@sirhenrythe5th said in Which Mame is suggested for the a Pi 4 with 4GB of Ram?:

@Jiryn But you got it working now?
Hint: if you map "Cancel GUI" to "select" + "start" you can exit the games like you are used to with the lr-emulators ;)
Hint2: if you furthermore want to get rid of the exit-menu, set "safe_exit=0" in the AdvanceMame-config-file.

Sadly no, when I hit tab and try to configure my controller it just ignores it
I've tried both general and this game and neither seems to accept the inputs of the controller

Unless I am missing something
Games run great though!

Nm fixed it!
I have to hold the buttons to register...I can be a derp
How do I save it though? When I switch or reset all my controls disappeared

Just to close the issue: I've set gpu_mem at 320 Mb via raspi-config and now everything works fine! Thank you very much!

@matchaman I think it should work, but I can't be sure if the final install image won't require a reinstall. As for drivers, those are usually distributed with Raspbian, so if anything gets updated on that part, they'll be automatically installed as part of a normal OS package update.

New emulators? Sega Model 2/3? Naomi/Atom?
