@barbudreadmon It's not really that it's outdated... the games really don't run well because many of them simply have a hard time being software emulated.

A lot of work has been done since then,and a lot of success. Games like Gorf sound nearly identical to the original. But some of these super old titles still are not fully emulated. Hopefully, some day they will be.

Would love to see Omori's Space Guerilla (sound and graphics still have issues) and the original Bally/Midway Demolition Derby.. or even Atari's Tank.. if they're not already. It's been a while for me with MAME as I've reached a point where it's not worth while to update unless something really good comes out. 6 machines later... I'd have to do them all.

@iandaemon My current cab is also of the custom variety. A bartop on a pedestal that I could squeeze in a corner, but nowhere near a full size machine.

I have three different HORI Real Arcade Pro joysticks (4, 4 Kai, and V). All three work with my Pi 3 and Pi 4.

They are high quality arcade sticks that run you about $80 USD on the secondhand market. If you find one in good condition for less, it's a steal.

@mitu , I just updated the documentation on how to autostart games properly using runcommand in https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/FAQ#how-would-i-start-from-command-line-say-the-snes-emulator-by-itself

Hopefully this clarifies the procedure to more novice users and saves some headaches :)
