      Anyone uses it from https://stickfreaks.com/mame?

      There is a spreadsheet showing a good performance using latest build - .0247, however i dont know how to install it.

        @geese-howard I forget if it’s under experimental or optional, but there should be a core called lr-mame, which should be the latest build. Any reason why you want to use the latest, when mame2003 and fbneo cover pretty much most games that will run well on a pi3?

          Actually i had a misc mame2003/fbneo romset for use on both emus.
          Using latest mame build i can have only one romset...
          Do you know if this lr-mame is so good as developer shows in benchmarks?

            @geese-howard no. I have not tried, couldn’t tell you. Sorry. I assume it may struggle a tad more since mmame2003 is old and fbneo is optimized for speed vs accuracy like mame proper.
            I just use the arcade folder and mix and match since I have my 2 rom sets separate and when I add a game, I just choose the proper emulator at launch

              If you wait a week or so the mame0.247 will be as binary in the RetroPie-Setup and you know it will work for sure without a lot of hassle.

              But if you really want to try you can easily use it.
              Be aware of the fact that the binary can fail with some distributions.
              Not sure it will still work on Buster 10 distributions, but you can try.

              If you have already mame installed earlier from the experimental section, which makes sure all dependencies and configs are installed, then you can just download and copy the files from within the zip file to :
              /opt/retropie/emulators/mame

              Optionally you can rename the old folder, earlier on, from :
              /opt/retropie/emulators/mame to /opt/retropie/emulators/mame.bak for example.

              You have to do the commands as root with sudo.
