      Hi!
      A question that uncle google cannot find answer.
      Why does some games don't work on Mame on Pi while working fine on Mame on PC?
      I have ZIP with game (Captain Commando for example) which works fine when run on Mame (PC), but when transfered to Retropie and run, i have 'missing files' error...
      Is there any fix for that?
      Will aprreciate any help :)

      Good day to You all, guys!

          Why does some games don't work on Mame on Pi while working fine on Mame on PC?

          Because there are many versions of mame. Each version of mame requires a very specific set of roms to function. Rom files are not universally compatible.
