MAME4droid (0.139u1) is developed by David Valdeita (Seleuco) as a port of the MAME 0.139 emulator by Nicola Salmoria and the MAME team. It emulates arcade games supported by this version of MAME which includes over 8000 different ROMs.* MAME4droid is an EMULATOR and DOES NOT INCLUDE ROMS OR. Shell script to set up a Raspberry Pi/Odroid/PC with RetroArch emulator and various cores - RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup. MAME 0.139 DAT File: MAME 0.139.dat.

Like many other poor souls not privy to MAME ROMs and emulators I struggled to get my ROMs to work. It seemed like every time someone tried to explain it on a forum or blog post I left feeling more confused or discouraged, so I put it off. It's one of the most confusing parts of RetroPie.

Finally I came across that had a no bullshit answer and actual instructions of what to do and where to place the files. EDIT: Here it is summarized below. For more details use the link to the post. • Find a 0.78 MAME romset. Fairy tail episode 256.

• Copy the roms you want over to the mame-libretro folder • Copy the bios files in the romset over to the /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame2003 folder. Just copy them all if you're not sure what does what, doesn't take up a ton of space. Include the samples subfolder. Reboot Emulation Station and the roms will appear. I was finally able to get Metal Slug working! Why didn't the main have a simple example like this?

It could have helped so many others that came before me. So, I updated the Wiki with some information that I think will really help others and would have helped me when I was struggling. I modified the table to remove the useless 'BIOS extension' column where each entry was '.zip' and added a paragraph with an example showing exactly what you need to do to get a MAME ROM working (along with a few other improvements). TL;DR After struggling for weeks to get MAME ROMs to load correctly I finally stumbled upon a and finally got my ROMs to work, which inspired me to update the official. EDIT: Some simple, and great advice from comments below.

2 approaches: (1) To save yourself the headache of wondering whether you have the right files, try downloading the full romsets and throw those in the arcade directory. (2) Copy samples and BIOS into proper directories, then if filesnames have similar names such as game1a.zip, game1b.zip, etc. And make sure you keep these together. EDIT 2: About the mysterious 'samples' directory, thx: There's a folder called samples in the romset that contains sound files for games. Just copy the entire thing over to /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame2003/samples/ EDIT 3: It just dawned on me that a FAQ and TIPS sections on the GitHub Wiki MAME section would probably be really helpful. I will try to compile common questions and answers tonight as a start.
