@greenhawk84 I'm becoming an expert on Puckman versions ;-D

Here's another good link along with Bakers to MAME setup. It covers pretty much every supported version on the Pi. The 'Arcade' drop down on the left shows the different sections even how to build and validate sets.

https://retropie.org.uk/docs/MAME/

I do keep most of the supported version sets non-merged (ROM set type not emulator) zipped and just extract the ROMs as needed. There is a lot of crossover between version sets if you plan to implement them all it's pretty redundant. Some emulators run certain games better than others so it's usually is a mix-and-match of MAME emulators and ROM/game subsets.

@dankcushions - Thanks worked perfect! When adding input_reset_axis = "+2" I was able to add it to either /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg or /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver.cfg and it worked fine.

When adding 'input_reset_btn = "nul" to /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg it didn't change the default or disable it but when I modified /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver.cfg directly it worked.

When input_reset_btn = "0" was located in the joystick config and input_reset_btn = "nul" was in the emulator config button "0" was still active.

It looks if the setting exists in the joystick config it has to modified there as it take precedence over the emulator config but it if doesn't exist in either it can be added to either and works fine.

I got nowhere near @meleu's high score, but I have some good news.

MAME ROW #45 is live!

Sorry I was just referring him upstream to the originating source code authors or some fork. I'm not sure how they decide which versions they want to code next. At one point I think there was some "challenges" between them and the official MAME authors but not so much anymore plus all the forks. It always seems to come from upstream somewhere. You just need to sit downstream as not to do the "heavy" core work! ;)

@alturis According to wikipedia, Arcade release was JP only.

@mediamogul Haha! :)

@caver01 provides all details in this great post.

@ecks You are partially correct. I wasn't sure what you were talking about since audio seemed fine for me with mame2003. So I played a bit more until the plane boss. The audio is not unstable. It's not fully emulated. Slightly changed fps the further i went.

Mame2003: 60fps most of the time. Audio is not scratchy but not fully emulated.
Mame2010: Same as 2003.
Mame2016: 53-57fps and maybe lower, depends on the area. Audio is slightly scratchy when its in the low 50s but audio is properly emulated.
FBA: I tried it for the hell of it, I'm testing enough damn emulators. It did the worst..45-48fps but audio is properly emulated.

I love the look and arcade feel to overlays! Properly impressive.

Glad you managed to install 'em !

@obsidianspider No, I took the train this year, because I am under strict instructions NOT to buy any more retro-gear!

I did buy a couple of t-shirts, but that was it.

They had a decent selection of about 80 cabs, plus about 10 pinball machines. And of course rows and rows of retro computers. Some interesting talks as well this year - one by Gary Bracey, from Ocean software, and another from David Pleasance who was the MD of Commodore UK. There was a demonstration of the Spectrum Next from legendary programmer Jim Bagley as well.

If you are interested, someone has put a couple of them on YouTube already.

@UDb23 mate, awesome!! first pints for you :D will do some screenshots this weekend...

Actually, Robotech was a Frankenstein monster created for the US by assembling 3 series : Macross, Southern Cross and Mospaeda...

This overlay is really cool, thanks ! :)

MAME ROW #42 is live!

@CrossCheck The advXYZ set of utilities (including the emulator) are installed in /opt/retropie/emulators/advmame/bin - see Advmame. You'll have to run them from a command line, outside of EmulationStation.
