Mame2003 performance
-
@crossmr i would suspect they were actually using mame4all-pi/pifba as these are the recommended mame emulators for pi 1/0.
mame2003 will probably be a little too much for the humble 0.

@dankcushions I broke down and ordered another SD card that will arrive tomorrow. I think I've found a working copy of the image I had previously installed, so I'll write it to that while preserving this good image and try to check it out

@crossmr Unfortunately I think this is as far as the test will go. I found what appeared to be the one working link to grab that image, it wrote to the SD card via etcher, verified, and seemed fine. I plugged it in and fired it up, got the initial colorful splash screen, then that was it. It's still sending a signal to the TV, but doesn't seem to be doing anything. Just a black screen. I tried another TV (newer one) and nothing. I thought it might be trying to run at a too high of a resolution.
I added a wpa supplicant file to see if it was actually booting and if I could ssh in, but it never seems to join the wifi network.

@crossmr Turns out I had the wrong image, after hours of slow downloads, I managed to get the same pi zero w image that I had before. it looks like the rom in question was being run on lr-fbalpha, not fbalpha2012. This was a retropie 4.2 image. The performance on lrfbalpha seems slightly better than the alpha2012 that is available on 4.6 retropie but still not as good as pifba.
