      I kinda just want to play Sunset Riders 2 player, since it lets you pick your characters.
      (Green guy is my fav, best guns in the game!)

        @Jiryn which also runs perfect with AdvanceMame as well as with FBNeo on a Pi3B+ (AFAIR it was allready great playable on the Pi2B).
        FBNeo offers even cheevos for that game :)

          Sounds like a plan!
          What's a good rom set for those?

          See, I'm just trying to find the perfect, all around fit for the Pi 4 4GB, so I can just play 90% of the games without issue of emulator or issues.

          Already slightly disappointed that it's not as big of a leap as I would have hoped on other consoles.

              @Jiryn i always use the latest version, so i did start with 0.94 but use 3.9 at the moment ;)
              The Romset required for AdvanceMame is 0.106.

                  @Jiryn it is the package named just "AdvanceMame" - without version number.
                  This one is the current release (v3.9).

                    Now I am wondering if I did something wrong.
                    Installed Advance Mame, started it up.... looked amazing... but for some reason my controller stopped working. It wasn't registering any of my inputs.

                    SN30 Pro+ in Xbox/Windows mode.

                      @Jiryn did you configure your controls in the TAB-Menue by mapping them under "configure input (general)"?
                      I also use 8BitDo Pads (but in Android-Mode)

                        @Jiryn You mean not ever, or suddenly after they worked in AdvMAME?

                        If the former, it's like @sirhenrythe5th said, because AdvMAME is not part of the RetroArch/LibRetro framework where all emulator cores share the same configuration. See the Docs about AdvMAME for a little more info.

                          @Darksavior A fixed mame2010 core has been uploaded here:

                          With the fixed core, mame2010 no longer crashes when accessing the tab menu and no longer crashes due to "illegal instruction" in some games. With this, it is a quite usable core por the pi 4.

                            It's the first time I've ever installed Advmame, so I didn't know I'd need to do additional configuration

                              @Jiryn But you got it working now?
                              Hint: if you map "Cancel GUI" to "select" + "start" you can exit the games like you are used to with the lr-emulators ;)
                              Hint2: if you furthermore want to get rid of the exit-menu, set "safe_exit=0" in the AdvanceMame-config-file.

                                Sadly no, when I hit tab and try to configure my controller it just ignores it
                                I've tried both general and this game and neither seems to accept the inputs of the controller

                                Unless I am missing something
                                Games run great though!

                                Nm fixed it!
                                I have to hold the buttons to register...I can be a derp
                                How do I save it though? When I switch or reset all my controls disappeared
