I looked for the files but I’m not sure where they are located. Since it is on retroarch, I can seem to find where any of the mame directories are located. Well, you are not likely to be getting much support here, because you are using RetroArch. I do not know the full details, but from what I unde...

So I’m using mame .78, on retroarch, being run by RetroPie. Basically I, changed my input on the “Input (This Game)” tab, and I need to reverse those games back to using the “Input (General)” tab. There are some games that I need to keep using the this game tab, mainly the 4 way joystick games. Wha...

Is there a place to request fixes for roms that say "This Machine Doen't Work"?

I have a full set of mame .202 chd files (zipped). When I use 7z to extract them all, after a while, it begins to tell me that files with the same name already exist, and asks if II want to overwrite certain files. How do I keep them in the same folder while not losing any chd's, and why do some hav...

A few weeks ago I downloaded a few Mame update packs, I believe they were on archive .org, but when I tried to download some more earlier they were gone. Even the ones I downloaded a while back are now no where to be found. Does anyone know why I cant find update packs? I figured the mame website wo...

According to https://www.mamedev.org/oldrel.html the release dated 2016-05-25 (as per description in archive.org page) is MAME 0.174 Thank you for the reply. I tried .174 with my romset and the games still aren't working. Does that seem to be a trustworthy romset in you're opinion? A lot of the gam...

Hi, I recently downloaded a romset on archive. org,

I'm wondering what set of Mame this set was made for. Is there a good way to check what version I should be using as a lot of my roms say they are missing files and I think it could be a version problem.

Only a small fistful of roms change between each MAME release, not the entire romset. However sometimes the rom that changes is a bios, thus afecting many games that depend on it. Please check if the roms that are not working for you are correct using the comand line. For example, to verify the rom...

Hi, I recently built a 4 player arcade machine with my dad and am now using Mame64 to emulate arcade games. Most of the games run perfectly fine, even though it sometimes says there will be emulation problems. There are, however, multiple games that don't seem to work. When I click on them, it usual...
