Thanks again! ... will check via jtest

One reason the roms don't show up could be the Option "Parse Gamelists Only" in Emulation Station's Main Menu -> Other Settings (Screenshot). It should be set to OFF to see every zip file in the rom directories in Emulation station. If they will run, however, depends on the correct rom/emulator combination, see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Arcade/.

@AndersHP I didn't even realize it was a song. Just kept wondering what the annoying chirping sound was. Hahaha

@nono6493 Considering your list has both City Connection and Mr Do! on it, you get a pass. XD Those are two great titles. And I still hate that cat.

Didn't you already asked this a couple months ago ? You got an answer on how to set-up your keys in Emulationstation - did you try applying the steps there to configure your controller ? Another question: can I switch of the emulator type display in favourites, that thing in brackets: MOON PATROL [MAME-LIBRETRO] I think this should be possible for custom collections, though your version of Emulationstation is a bit old for that. How did you install RetroPie ?

All the trackballs are pretty much the same. The hardest part is make sure you use multimouse in MAME settings if you have more than 1 mouse device, as you want to be able to set device specific sensistivity values. You can figure out per games sensivity values with some info from here: https://web.archive.org/web/20160421175734/http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Spinner_Turn_Count

@Thorr69 @Clyde OK thank you both I will keep it then, it was mostly to save some space on the UI, but it's not really needed so...

@IanDaemon Nice score! I went with advmame 1.4 to get the sound working.

Perfect. I never would have found it. I set the to fast forward parameters to null. It's working as I would like now. Thanks!

@showstopper said in FBA Neo Romset help?: For the HBMAME bit is there a list of the files that are required? No, sorry, but apart from the few dkong hacks i added a few weeks ago (see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/23549/donkey-kong-spooky-remix-in-retropie), i expect most of them to be also available from older FBNeo/FBAlpha romsets.

MAME ROW #149 is live. We'll close voting on Thursday this week.

@mitu THANK YOU VERY MUCH! you are the best! With this advice you save me tons of hours.

@cyperghost Unfortunately I didn't get much chance to play anything, as I was accompanied by my 5 year old son for the first time, and he was more interested in the merchandise in the trade hall - picking up a Golden Mario and a bunch of Star Wars figures. They always have a stand-up Star Wars machine there, which is my favourite one - I have great nostalgic memories of playing that in wet October holidays on our annual trip to visit my grandparents. Apparently they also had the sit-down version of the Star Wars cab this year, but I didn't see it. I think the vector graphics still look pretty good and haven't really aged as much as some of the other technology around at the time. They had quite a few sit-down cabs this time actually, which was new, and a bunch of Candy cabs as well. My favourite one to see, if perhaps not to play, was an ancient old Video Pinball one they had a couple of years back.

@bluesparkle that's interesting - I thought it was just all the spring stages in sequence starting from a high levle, not the same one over and over. it does seem like it would be easierand quicker to use a savestate in that case.

@jodiefoster clrmamepro works, you are either not using it properly or using the wrong dat file @jodiefoster said in Question about mame roms(please read all): their is no 100% accurate .dat out there you will find Those dat files are directly generated by the emulator using its own code, they are 100% accurate by definition.

You can use CLRMAME pro and dat files. It's free. https://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/ guide : https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Arcade

@SpudsMcToole And I know that it works, I just wanted to help you solving the puzzle in retrospective. 🔍🙂
