MAME Sets & Datfiles
Thanks, I updated and updated MAME but they boot back.
Run mame with verbose mode and check the /dev/runcommand.log .
Then you can find what's wrong.
Do I need to add the Datfile somewhere as well?
No
I seen pi didn't say MAME had an update, so am I trying to0 early perhaps?
You should check your version of mame.
Run a game that still works and use "tab" to go into the UI and check "about".
Or check your /dev/runcommand.log after trying to run a game in mame with verbose mode, this might also reveal the version.
If you have an old version, like 0253, and you recently updated the binary via the RetroPie-Setup then there is no new version for the original RetroPie image available.
If so, then this is due to the underlying older linux operating system which cannot run newer compiled mame binaries or canniot compile newer mame source-code anymore.
That would mean that you are stuck with using old roms and an old version of mame unless you create a new linux image, with a newer OS, by yourself with installing RetroPie on top of it.
If you still can't find a solution then I recommend you open a new help thread.
