            @darknior - @WeirdH posted the correct path above for you on the Pi but I think it's just missing the home directory shortcut ~ in the front but it's correct nevertheless. Here's the full path below for arcade and mame-libretro but I'm not sure on the path for Batocera or Windows.

            /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/mame2003-plus/mame2003-plus.xml
            /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003-plus/mame2003-plus.xml

              @Riverstorm Thanks i already try these directories and there is no XML file ... It's why i ask some one to share his XML to help me.
              I search every where on my two PI and my PC, i don't have this file !

                  that not up to date someone at libretro needs to update it the xml file will be where your retroarch savedir is set to. Retropie just happens to use the content dir as the savedir.

                    @arcadez2003 Good to know it wasn't just me. I got the game running on mame2010, but that one always has messy keyboard controls. It won't give me functioning buttons on my cab for player 2 coin and start, and even if I use a keyboard, the player 2 screen is always up side down, with no way to flip it. Oh well, it's running at least.

                            Your talking about Space Launcher i assume.?? i've added the n8080.c driver but not yet submitted it to MAME2003+ core as i've ran into a issue with one game namely
                            Heli Fire it's locking up on boot, but all the other games look lovely now they're all in colour with their special graphical effects and the sound is good now also.............

                              Yes, I was. Awesome that you got it to work! Shame about Heli Fire though. I really have no idea what goes on in coding an emulator, so I consider you a miracle worker either way.

                              That 'Sheriff' screenshot gives me WarioWare flashbacks, even though it was presented in white there as well!

                                @arcadez2003 Great you added Sheriff, thanks! Was only playable in mame2010.
                                For all those that may be interested an overlay and info on how to setup controls can be found here.

                                  Heli Fire may work in this core i've had similar issues previously with games not working in my MAME72 test core but they're fine in this one Virtua Fighter for example.
                                  anyway i have now pushed my n8080 backport improvements to MAME2003+ the roms needed to change but for ease of use i've updated em to latest MAME more or
                                  less.

                                  Please give Heli Fire a whirl and lemmie know if it plays or not

                                    Hmmm i seen some faked overlay code in the video file for Bandito / Sheriff which was removed as part of the update, although the game is all in colour as i added support
                                    for the missing gfx prom via a later MAME build.

                                      I wonder if this could be causing the issue in the older cores never seen it set to null before.

                                      might be unrelated its complying about using memory after its been freed.

                                        @arcadez2003 That overlay is a retroarch one, so it should not be related to any issue of the game code/driver.

                                          @grant2258 Thanks for taking a look, it seems that palette_init_n8080(NULL, NULL); is just telling the game not to use the n8080 palette by looks it serves no other purpose
                                          removing it makes no difference but it was worth a try at anyrate.
