      Well, the OP should just move to MAME current tbh, not only it has support for TATE in both directions, but it probably also has better support for cocktail mode (i highly doubt all cocktail fixes from the past 22 years were backported to MAME2003+).

      As for FBNeo, it is not suitable at all for cocktail setups : some games had their 2P mode and cocktail mode tied together, and ended up being un-cocktail-ified so that 2 players could play them without requiring a cocktail setup.

      @mitu Gotcha. Well, I'm glad it was able to resolve itself either way. I'll keep my discussion to this issue on Folly and DTEAM's thread. I appreciate the help and insight, Mitu. Thank you!

      Hello, may I ask where I can download a tool called - MAME Set Rebuilder? - legit of course.
      There is a link to a forum that one cannot use because I do not speak Italian. :)

      Use Google Translate or chatGPT, no upload on external forum, register to retropie-italia.it

      @ime01 said in Could someone upload Mame Set Rebuilder? :( - New User Request.:

      I tried the mame old developer sites but it was not there nor, accessible.

      The original website is retropie-italia.it

      @JimmyFromTheBay

      I read that most of these games are ported from MSX.
      The story goes that in order to make porting easier the SGM module has a Yamaha music chip that is the same as used in MSX.

      So why not run the original game on MSX ?

      in the retropie configs folder.
      I deleted them and it came right on.

      but its well emulated in MAME

      That'll entirely depend on what you mean by "well" and the MAME version you are using. Using a pi zero might impede your choice about that. For the reminder, older MAME versions will be less likely to be accurate (i.e. faithful to the original game), and the newer versions usually require better machines.

      @mitu Just wanted to say thanks for the help on this, it really means a lot. After losing some heart, I took another look over Christmas and the reset you suggested solved my joystick problem as well, so I've had a blast over the break playing on it.
      Next stage is to go back into the retroarch.cfg and configure the second joystick when friends are around, and then it'll be good to go.
      Thanks so much! And apols for not getting back sooner for your help :)

      @jamrom2 said in Berzerk (STERN 1980) - MAME missed sound issues:

      "They are about as close as it's going to get until another version is coded that has the modern updates of recent MAME versions for use on a Pi."

      And i was pointing out that mame2016 has those modern updates while mame2015 hasn't. Did you miss that ?

      Yet again there is absolutely no reason to use mame2015/mame2016 when latest mame is available, better integrated with the libretro api, and will perform just as fast most of the time.

      @WildDog Not my expertise there. You should make sure you are exiting the game properly to ensure that if the game is able to retain scores, it will. (Turning off the machine will not let scores save. You have to exit the game with the hotkey combo.)

      @mattsyd said in Setup Difficulties - Hit a Dead End....:

      I don't mind which mame system I use. What ever is simpler. Very happy to go with a recommendation.
      ON mame I want to setup street fighter ii, mortal combat, frogger, pacman or puckman, space invaders and a few other classics to start with.

      I like lr-fbneo; it doesn't even have that TAB-menu and with proper romsets it "just works" in my experience. All control mapping is done by core input remapping in the RetroArch menu.

      After wiping the sd card and setting up again, I now have a different issue. The controls on my simple usb gamepad ( ABXY LR and D pad) don't work as mapped in ES. N64 mario cart and puckman on mame are my tests at present. The controller works perfectly for navigating retro pie settings and menus, (and is mapped correctly in es config input menu) until I start playing N64 mario cart for example, all buttons work except the D pad. Can't move left or right.

      Does the D-pad work in the (in-game) menus, and just not once the race begins? That's normal; Mario Kart 64 don't use dpad in the race, it need the thumb stick. Dpad work in the menus to select a race but once it start, it need the thumb stick.

      I understand it has to be mapped in ES input config, and then again for each emulator too?
      Perhaps again for individual games within an emulator too in some cases?

      No, when you do it once for ES it should automatically configure inputs both for RetroArch and for the stand-alone emulators at the same time, too.

      You can **re-**map the controls for a single game or emulator, but you shouldn't have to set them all up individually.

      Okay, here they are:

      https://easyupload.io/gy7no9

      For most of them you'll want to set aspect_ratio_index = "21" and input_overlay_opacity = "0.350000" and input_overlay_scale = 1.060000 or thereabouts in your CFG file.
