LuvtheNats Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Recently got a Raspberry 3 with Retropie but am having a HUGE problem trying to get MAME roms to work. I have tried placing them in both MAME systems, as well as the Arcade system in Retropie with no results. Anyone have suggestions or a solution as to getting them to work. I've look around online and everything reads like a foreign language to me. gojiphen malor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gojiphen malor Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 MAME is a little bit more complicated than alot of the other emulators. You need to make sure you have the correct ROM version according to the version of MAME you are using. https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/MAME For example, on this page I linked, if you are using MAME 2000, you will need the MAME 0.37b5 roms. (which can be found here :https://archive.org/details/MAME0.37b5_MAME2000_Reference_Set_Update_2_ROMs_Samples) I put them all in the 'ARCADE' folder as that seems to keep them a bit more organized. I hope this helps. Feel free to post again if you still are having trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvtheNats Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Thanks for the reply. So, having looked through the links you provided...I see no mention of what emulator a mame .184 rom will run on. Any idea? For example, every WWF Wrestlefest rom I find is .184 gojiphen malor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gojiphen malor Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Try MAME 2010. It uses the 0.139 romset. It's in the experimental builds I believe still, so you'll have to add it yourself in the experimental options. The romset has WWF Wrestlefest (one of my favs!) https://archive.org/download/MAME0.139_MAME2010_Reference_Set_ROMs_CHDs_Samples/roms/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvtheNats Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 Wrestlefest was my main reason for messing with Arcade roms. As long as I can get that one game to work....I'll be happy. I am finding that working with MAME in Retropie is a MASSIVE pain. Clearly I have a lot of reading to do because I have been fortunate enough to get some games to load properly.....but then they have no sound.....so....I don't know. And to top it off, I noticed last night that my controller (Xbox One using Bluetooth) lags big time and in some cases freezes - rendering it useless unless I reboot the retropie.

Keep at it. It took me a couple tries to get mine working. That wiki page was helpful as were their forums. Not sure exactly what would cause the sound not to work, but feel free to post more of your findings here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
