Mario Kart Arcade GP MAME
-
Hi all, first time poster and relatively new Retropie-er. Got my head around pretty much everything (for a newbie) and loving it so far. I've checked the forum for an answer to this question so I hope I'm not annoyingly reposting something, however if I am and there is already a thread on this then please point me in that direction. My question is basically has anyone been able to get Mario Kart Arcade GP (or 2) MAME working? I have the Raspberry Pi 3 and have done the same with this game as I have with all my other arcade games (downloaded the ROM and popped it in the Arcade folder unzipped, which has the NeoGeo BIOS in it, and that BIOS is in the BIOS folder) but I can't get a ROM that will work. I have the same issue with the Tekken games. Is this a known issue? I have tried switching the emulator from lr-alpha to lr-mame2003 as well but this didn't change anything. Any help/guidance/clarification would be most appreciated. Thanks.

'Mario Kart Arcade GP' runs on the Triforce arcade system which is based on GameCube hardware. Unfortunately the Raspberry Pi isn't nearly powerful enough to emulate a system that demanding.
As for the rest of your issues, You can't just "pop" any old ROM in the arcade folder. You need to get a specific numbered ROM set for the arcade emulator you've chosen. For example, the default arcade emulator in RetroPie is lr-mame2003, which uses the MAME 0.78 ROM set. Anything outside of the intended ROM set for your chosen emulator will usually result in failure. Also, as a rule of thumb, any game north of 1995 has an increasingly higher chance of running poorly on the Pi.
