      Re: Revenge of Death Adder Working?
      I am unable to get Death Adder working at all. It just jumps kicks me out to emulation station. I have spent 2 days trying roms from 12 different sources. I've primarily tried the mame-libretro as per lookup table and arcade folder as well to no avail. Some rom variations stated they needed parent ga2.zip which i included as well (i've been trying to get the US version working). Does anyone have any tips? I'm on Retropie 4 8gb.

      Thanks

        When you launch the game and it fails check cat /dev/shm/runcommand.log from shell and see what the errors are.

        I use advmame 3.9 and ga2 works fine for me, I am using the world rom though never tried the US version.

          Thanks, I'll try the logs!

          What is advmame? I didnt see that in the list of rom folders (even though I do see mentioned in the docs)

            I use the arcade folder for advancemame roms instead of the default mame-advmame folder, it also uses the .106 romset. I've had really good luck with it. but YMMV. You prob don't see it as I don't think it's installed by default.

            https://retropie.org.uk/docs/MAME/#advancemame-3

            Once you check the runcommand.log file that should help, most of the time it's just the wrong romset you will see errors about missing files in the rom.

              So I finnaly figured out that you find advmame in optional packages not experimental! I got teh game running, but there is no sound and the controls dont work in advmame. Do I need to configure them specially for advmame? It works fine in all other emulators.

              Thanks

                @seismicsquall Advmame's input is not automatically configured after you add you gamepad in EmulationStation, like RetroArch. You need to use a keyboard and press Tab to bring up the MAME menu and configure your input.

                  @mitu Thanks. I'll give it a try today. Is it the same deal with the sounds output?

                      Golden Axe 2 does run well, with sound, using AdvanceMame on a PI3B+.
                      No idea why you dont have any sound:/

                          @seismicsquall Get the correct romset. https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Arcade/

                          The game has visual bugs with mame2003 so use mame 2010 or 2016. I like to use shaders so I don't use advmame.

                            I got it working with AdvanceMame. It seems the sound only works once you start the game (which I could not do earlier because I could not configure my controls). Once I accessed the advmame emulator menu by pressing Tab I was able to configure my controls and start the game.

                            After playing it for about 5 min I can say that I did no experience any sound or visual glitches - the shadows seemed fine as well.

                            Thanks everyone for your help.

                              Also, anyone know the difference between the World and US versions?

                                @seismicsquall usually the US-Versions come with the FBI-Screen "Winners dont use drugs", but no differences in gameplay etc.
                                There are only very few games that really have major differences in Level-Design etc

                                  Jeff Sessions should recuse himself from those.

                                    @seismicsquall idk specifically for this one, but lots of US versions have some kind of censorship, grey blood and the likes.
