Yes Mame is a little tricky but if you just make sure to read up on the concept of 'romsets' you'll be fine. It also ended with me having two extra Pi's and starting to do other little projects to improve my programming and learn a bit more about Linux. There was a lot of wood work and mis-steps and glue and buying little boxes with various style screws.

I haven't tried the other front ends on your list but can recommend retropie, especially after you put a little time in on how to set stuff up and get your own Theme for the looks etc.įor that one we ordered an Sanwa arcade stick and got some (probably fake) Happ style buttons. I built a 'bartop' mini arcade with my son as a Covid project using a RPi4 and RetroPie and it's been great fun!

Personally, I used to be able to do so all the time running MAME on my old desktop/laptop computers, but I understand that the lack of universal controls makes it particularly hard, because unlike most console games or Neo-Geo ones where the controls are configured for a set keypad, every arcade game is different (since some have track balls for movement, some have steering wheels, some like Robotron/Smash TV have 2 joysticks, some like Street Fighter have 6 buttons, while others only have one).įeel free to include a list of which games, since chances are, I may be trying to get some of the same ones to work. I just ask because I do hear that MAME/arcade games are some of the hardest ones to emulate. If it can help get a dialogue going, what seems to be the issue? Are the games just not loading at all, or are they loading, and the controls aren't working or something? Guess we may just have to Google those emulators individually? I had heard good things about RecalBox, but very little about Lakka, and only just noticed today after not logging in for like 2 days someone posting about Batocera for the first time. I mainly just thought to ask, because nearly all of the sites/gaming forums ONLY seem to talk about RetroPie without any mentions of/praise for some of the others I'd mentioned. Honestly, I wish I COULD say I found a resource, but after getting no responses other than yours- which I really appreciate it's kind of a bummer that a post can get 100+ views and not a simple "I don't know," or better yet, "try this link"-I ultimately just had to rephrase/simplify my question into the post below. I've just built a mame cabinet and lots of my roms don't work, been looking for some support. If I knew how to delete this topic I would.
Looks like I finally got an answer elsewhere. Granted, I've also read than an 8GB MicroSD would work for most 8- to 16-bit games, but that I'd probably need something bigger to play Neo-Geo games for example.
So for those who've gotten MAME games to work well on your Pi, which OS did you use, or recommend? Did you just start off with (or recommend) I try emulating console games at first? I also understand that running MAME can be a bit more complicated than say, running a Nintendo/Famicon emulator (case in point, from my experience of running MAME off of my desktop computers- before my OS stopped supporting it, that is- it seems like you almost always needed a keyboard setup in order to "add" quarters/credits to play the arcade games anyway, since most controllers/traditional arcade control setups don't have this function).
I've REALLY been wanting to make an arcade/MAME emulator, and there doesn't seem to be a consensus on which OS would work best for MAME? Everyone talks about RetroPie, but I understand that RecalBox, Lakka, and Batocera are options too. So I apologize in advance if I'm getting ahead of myself by posting in this forum, but I'm new to RaspPi, received a 8GB #4 for my B-day, and have been hoping to make one for gaming to start.
