What is the best MAME to use with Pi 4 4GB? (Largest library, highest compatability)
-
@jiryn System 32 is full speed on mame2016 but I overclock to 2Ghz.
-
@darksavior As I said, mine is stock.
I'd rather not overclock/stress the system too much.. that's why I asked.
(Always err on the side of caution, I've had too many things screw up) -
@jiryn It's a cheap device and I get a 500Mhz boost. It'll just reboot or freeze up if you've overclocked too much. Pretty safe to say that the pi foundation underclocked the cpu.

Any clue or advice on those two light gun games? -
@jiryn I haven't tried those games but I'd try mame2003plus first.

Anyone know what Mame is suggested for Area 51, Area 51: Site 4, and Maximum Force?
I have no idea how they would run on a Pi but I have used MAME2003 to run Area 51 on my old PC and it works great.

I heard they got System 32 games running on FB Alpha or something recently..
I don't think FBAlpha is updated anymore by anyone. If you are talking about FBNeo then no, it doesn't support sega s32 yet.

Do you happen to have Jurassic Park the arcade game working?
I had it work for a bit, but every time the T-rex roars, the sound cuts out and I am wondering what is going on.
Does it need Samples?
Did I put my samples in the wrong folder?/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame2016/samples/

@roslof This is a great spreadsheet! However, I tried 2010 for Tekken Tag (I tried all of them actually) and it just goes back to the main menu when I try to launch the game. I can't get Tekken Tag to load at all and I've tried a few different roms.
How did you get it to run in 2010?

Clrmamepro is your friend.
-
@drdave79 Don't try different random ROMs. Well, you could, but it's
like trying to find a needle in a haystackfrustrating. Use CLRMAMEPRO to verify/rebuild the ROM if it's at all possible. -
@iandaemon I'm unfamiliar with Clrmamepro. I'm running on a Raspberry pi4 system. Can you elaborate please?
-
-
@dankcushions Alright, so I ran both Tekken Tag Tournament and Killer Instinct through Clrmamepro using 2010 and neither will load. Am I just picking two very difficult roms?
-
@drdave79 please supply a verbose log of the failed loads

You will need a Tekken Tag rom specific to the 2010 emulator. A challenge of using multiple emulators is that you will have to ensure you verify the individual ROMS.
Keep in mind for this one, it doesn't run full speed with 2010 (45fps?, but it does run with the correct rom.
-
@roslof This is so confusing. I thought the whole purpose of using CLRMAMEPRO was to modify the rom to work with the correct version of Mame. I guess I'm not fully understanding the purpose here.
-
@drdave79 Make it easy on yourself and hunt down the mame 2010 romset instead. And yea, the game will probably be too slow anyways.

The purpose is to check and manage your files, but it can't create the right file out of nothing. Everything is explained in the documentation.

Yes, you can't build from nothing, but from https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Validating%2C-Rebuilding%2C-and-Filtering-ROM-Collections/:
"...It is possible to 'rebuild' from one version of an ROM collection to another. If you also have access to ROMs from a newer or older ROM collection you can 'roll forward' or 'roll back' your ROM version...."
So everyone is right.
