      Does mame4all work anymore on a pi 3b+?

      I tried install from source and install from binary.
      pre-made image of RetroPie is v4.7.1

      TOP shows mame CPU at 200%CPU

      runcommand.log
      Parameters:
      Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/mame4all/mame "frogger"

      I either see blank screen for all roms or corrupted video.

        @flagrant99 After searching it looks like it hasn't worked since retro pie 4.5. On my pi3 not a big deal. I mainly kept this set for my pi-zero. see here

          lr-mame2000 doesn't work either. Is lr-mame2000 for 32-bit os only now? Maybe it runs on pi-zero? Won't run for me on Pi 3B+. Just get segmentation faults on everything. Tried binary and compile from source.

            @flagrant99 Why are you trying to use mame4all/mame2000? It's really old.
            The recommended arcade emulators for a pi3b+ are mame2003plus and fb-neo. Update your romsets and use those.

              @darksavior Sure.
              I mainly just kept this around for Pi-Zero. It used to run fine on Pi-3b as well though.
              I guess since we have the Pi-Zero 2 out now maybe those older emus should go away?

              They are still listed first here though.
              https://retropie.org.uk/docs/MAME/

              Also note these are installed from under experimental. Still they don't run at all anymore, so my guess is they should be removed from the installer and docs?

                @flagrant99 no, they're still useful for the pi zero and 1.

                mame2000 has issues but should work when the outstanding PRs are accepted: https://github.com/libretro/mame2000-libretro/pulls

                i don't know about mame4all-pi. but i would sooner leave it around for someone to debug properly.

                  @dankcushions Glad to hear. Agree on the pi-zero those run the best.

                    I thought I would upgrade my old pi-zero setup today, as I had a Pi3 B v1.2 unused here. That was a mistake. I concur these do not work at all (crash or black screen) :
                    mame4all
                    mame2000

                    Testing with MAME 0.37b5 Roms - new setup RetroPie is v4.7.1

                      @johna4242 I had the same issue on a new setup with a Pi 3B+. I had to replace mame2000_libretro.so using an old file from another Retropie Setup from a year ago and it works OK.

                      Current lr-mame2000 doesn't work (segfaults).
