I play Neo Geo ROMs for a long time some of my played games are: Samurai Shodown IV, The King of Fighters 2002, Metal Slug 4 Plus and many more, but I don't collect them on my PC because I don't have the memory to do it so I just download them from this website and for now, I'm very satisfied.
MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. MAME can emulate thousands of games that otherwise would have been lost in the ash-heaps of history.

Download universal remote control usb devices driver. There are a variety of arcade emulator versions available in RetroPie. There are significant differences in performance, compatibility, and configuration between them. If you're getting started with an arcade emulation project, begin by reading the Arcade page.
This page is a resource for additional details on RetroPie's MAME emulators including configuration paths, controls, and the ROM sets which each emulator requires.

Three of the available MAME ROM paths in RetroPie are shared directories which are used by more than one emulator: arcade
, mame-libretro
, mame-advmame
. In order to successfully load zipped ROM sets in these locations you must specify the arcade emulator version which matches your ROMs.
To avoid having several menus for different arcade emulators, all arcade-based ROMs can be placed in the arcade
ROM folder, but you will have to specify which emulator each zipped ROM set will use from the Runcommand Menu.

MAME 2003-Plus (also referred to as MAME 2003+ and mame2003-plus) is a libretro arcade system emulator core with an emphasis on high performance and broad compatibility with mobile devices, single board computers, embedded systems, and similar platforms.
In order to take advantage of the performance and lower hardware requirements of an earlier MAME architecture, MAME 2003-Plus began with the MAME 2003 codebase, which is itself derived from xmame 0.78. Upon that base, MAME 2003-Plus contributors have back-ported support for several hundred additional games as well as other functionality not originally present in MAME 0.78.
Please see the libretro MAME 2003-Plus core documentation for information on how to configure specific features of this emulator.

Active Sets: 5563
AdvanceMAME 0.94 DAT File: advmame-0.94-RetroPie-260.7z
While in a game, press Tab to open the menu and set up controls. AdvanceMAME configuration for controls is stored in /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame/advmame-0.94.0.rc
. Changes to specific games result in .rc
file entries with a prefix for the ROM (i.e. bwidow/input_map[p1_doubleleft_up] keyboard[0,up]
for the bwidow
game).
Note: The .rc
file can also be edited manually, with a text editor. Any config can be made ROM-specific using a romname/
prefix which is handy for overriding a setting for a specific ROM or class of ROMs, such as vertical/
. However, a single mistake in the .rc file will stop AdvanceMAME from launching. It is always best to make a backup of the configuration file before manual edits.

MAME Version: MAME has monthly versioned releases, there is no single version. Version 0.221
was released for May 2020, 0.222
for June 2020, etc.
Installing from binary will probably get a version that's a little behind the current MAME, installing from source will always get the latest monthly release.
NOTE: installing from source requires a lot of RAM and CPU power, on Pi3 and lower end systems could take more than one day - use the binary release when available, instead of installing from source.
MAME Dat Files: ProgettoSnaps MAME .dat page has versions for each MAME release.
