How to run MAME v0.224?

steptoe

Just had a look at the Wills Arcade Set 3.3 I have on my RetroPie backup, it runs via Mame2010 so supports a huge ROMset, just over 2200 games covering the vast majority and all the 'classics' you could think of playing. Includes videos, snapshots, samples. Ready to run, short of copying it to the PI via FileZilla (I found that to be MUCH faster than anything else over the network)

All have been tested by the author, no clones, no non-working, purely arcade games right upto what MAME2010 will run

It easily runs on a PI3B, as that was what I used, so a PI4 will be a dream

You've nothing to lose by getting it, except time, but should gain a lot by playing it. I had considered trying something similar but this pack did everything for me. I found it by accident ages ago looking for tips on how to create exactly what he had done

@steptoe
Thanx for the advice! I dont have a Pi computer, I have a Ubuntu v20.10 PC. But Wills Arcade romset should work fine, right?

@steptoe A last question: how can I find out which Mame core to use for a special ROM set? Is there a website that maps cores to rom sets? Maybe something like:
Wills Arcade set 3.3 - Mame2010
Wills Arcade set 2.0 - Mame2003
etc

@brutalizer For the MAME emulators in RetroPie, this info is in the Docs.
