      However, when I try to start a rom with lr-mame it errors out. Unfortunately, I do not have the log for the exact error. I got carried away with trying to clean out old files and the log file with error accidentally got deleted.

      You don't need a build log for that (the one you posted is fine), get a verbose log from running the game and post it on pastebin.com.

        So that is why I also asked the question about the latest compiled binary earlier, because I was under the impression that the binary would have been recompiled with the new v222 mame source files. (i.e. - like the librtro nighty builds)

        The binaries are not automatically updated each time the upstream changes/releases a new version.

          @mitu I will get the verbose log for you later today. As for the binaries, are the ones the LibeRetro folks compile not the same? - http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armhf/latest/

            No, we don't use the Libretro buildbot binaries.

              @mitu almost 4 hours later - here is the error - https://pastebin.com/zMQtmSTK

              This seems pretty important:

              line 192 [libretro ERROR] System not found: arcade
              line 193 [libretro WARN] Driver arcade not found -1

              I updated the source compile log as well - https://pastebin.com/h8mxUE7n

                I think that's a red-herring. I get the same error even when a game is correctly booted, for instance 1942:

                I'm using the currenty binary, not a source update - if something is not working that was previously working, then it might be from the update.
                As always with Arcade emulation, I'd double check if your romset is correct for the MAME version you're trying to use.

                  @mitu there is an issue for this opened up in the lr-mame Github - https://github.com/libretro/mame/issues/163

                  Romset is the correct version.

                    Then it might be something with the latest update. I tried to test the libretro builbot version, but for some reason, the armv7-neon-hf build for the lr-mame core is build for aarch64 and it can't be used on RetroPie.

                      Hmmm...I installed RA on 64bit Raspian but I couldn’t get it to work.

                        The issue is being looked at upstream - https://github.com/libretro/mame/issues/163
