        @eduardo989 Galaga works fine, as does Pacman. Have you read the official docs re MAME? Do you understand that you need a specific ROM set to work with a specific emulator? An easy start is getting the 0.78 ROM set and using lr-mame2003. Sticking random ROMs in different MAME folders is not the way to get MAME working. From the docs: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/MAME
        From this actual forum, a stickied post: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2859/how-to-use-mame-with-retropie-help-guide

          Did you ever get the galago rom to work? I am having the same problem as you did. What combination of mame & rom did you use? Thanks!

            @hbornstein You need to read the instructions. If it is not working - your emulator / rom pairing is incorrect as stated above.
