      @meleu :)

      fbalpha is a maintained core (it has a number of programmers working on it) whereas mame2003 is basically mame exactly as it was in 2003, as far as emulation goes.

      fbalpha is also used in the fighting game community (i think it's the core of that online thing that was/is quite popular), so i would guess that most of the popular fighting games are running pretty much perfectly.

      so on that basis, i assume that fbalpha is the better one.. but that said, i use mame2003 for every 2d fighter it can do, and i've not noticed anything much, other than it not supporting certain rom hacks that fbalpha does. if i could wave a wand that would swap them all over for me i would probably do that, but it sounds a lot of hassle :)

      SOLVED: I was able to work around this problem by installing the experimental lr-MAME2014 emulator and using the most recent rom set I could find rather than the proper one with it. I don't know what they changed, but it appears to fix the issue!

      @hanone said in 2 Questions Regarding Organizing Roms In emulationstation:

      There should be an option, which hides ".bin" files, but i found another solution.

      There is - and it's enabled by default for Emulationstation. Could you please stop reviving old topics to advertise your so called 'solution' ?

      @onsmike Yes, it seems a keyboard is needed. That's what "solved" the problem for me when I tried it last night at any rate. It's a bit annoying, but it works on the roms I tried.

      @BuZz Sorry, I'm new to this and get confused between the RetroPie Forums and LibRetro Forums which link me to GitHub too. I wanted to update my previous post's title, but didn't know how, to see if runcommand.log error would spark others who know more about it.

      Update: I figured out how to change the title of my last post and am trying to delete this post but can't.

      Once I figure out what info I am supposed to give, and where to find it, I will repost this whole mess.

      You need to discover what version of MAME you're using. AFAIK we have 7 different versions.

      Makes sense I thought there was something going on that was not the rom's fault but the emulator needing more than the pi can give guess i will continue to stick with advmame and mame2003 thanks

      @tygr20

      Unless you have an older RetroPie install, high scores should be saving in lr-mame2003 according to:
      https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/lr-mame2003#high-scores

      MAME4ALL I'm not sure about, but I would think you could add the same file or perhaps an older variant.

      @flop said in Need help for some neogeo and mame games:

      I played Street Hoop with lr-fbalpha (0.2.97.39 romset) and it runs perfect; same with puzzle bobble, but I think puzzle bobble 2 or 3 (can´t remember) doesn´t work; maybe with the next rpi update with the new advmame it works :p

      puzzle bobble 3 is not part of 0.2.97.39 romset. pb2 apparently works, and is part of it.

      @rridenour Once you get a better feel for the way each version of MAME relies upon a corresponding (and different) romset, you may reconsider using the Arcade folder. As you figured out, it isn't very useful when you drop an entire romset into the folder if you want to leverage multiple versions of MAME. You will inevitably run into conflicts. Where Arcade DOES make a difference is in "uniting" the interface for arcade games. In other words, non-technical users understand what an arcade game is, but may not understand the differences between AdvanceMAME, libretro cores, FBA, and so on, nor the technical reasons behind using one version of MAME for one game and another version of MAME for another. By combining ROMs under a single folder, you effectively strip the interface down to a single decision for the user: Arcade, and you manage the emulators that get used per ROM with RunCommand settings.

      This idea, of course, requires a fair amount of "rom management" to keep everything straight. Instead of dropping the entire set into Arcade which would overwrite ROMs from another set that are already there, you have to mix and match individual ROMs and track which emulators you are using to launch them. This probably means you are storing the entire sets off-system and keeping track of what you use to launch each game in a spreadsheet. It seems like a lot of work, but for me, it's worth it for how it simplifies the interface. I am all for having options, but I love that I can present a clean, intuitive interface to users who don't understand (and don't want to understand) what is going on under the hood.
