LibRetro based emulators can occasionally work better, but are too much pain to set up initially.Īnything that requires a Pi4 for me is generally consoles, which work better with analog handheld controllers anyway, so I reserve the Pi4 for playing on the TV and running Kodi. For the record I use an X-Arcade TankStick as my controller, so I need to configure that with whatever emulator. You have to use samples for DK but it's worth the trade-off for the ease of setup.
PacMan and Joust, 1942, Outrun, that kind of thing.įor my use case, I've found "advmame" (not 0.94 or 1.4) gives the best combination of ease of configurability, screen size/ratio and stability. Mainly I'm playing Donkey Kong, Centipede/Millipede, Ms. Your list of games is pretty much the same generation as what I care about. But I've found that for the games I care about, the Raspberry Pi3 is much more stable and better supported by RetroPie (as of 6 months ago) than the Pi4. I kind of thought this post would get a lot more traction given your audience. The specifics of this particular version can be found here: īecause it's unique, it doesn't use a standard ROM set, the core can generate a DAT file from its main menu which you can use with ClrMamePro or similar to build an appropriate set.īut in general, MAME on the Pi is a poor combination, none of the options work very well. Lr-mame2003-plus is probably your best choice? It's a hacked up version of MAME 0.78 with later games backported into it. Or you can install an old version, which runs faster, but the reason it runs faster is because it is less accurate and buggy.įor either version, you'll need a matching ROM set, the corresponding ROM set version can be found here: You have two categories of choice, the current version (called "mame" (or lr-mame if you want libretro control support) with no suffix) which works well but for most/all games requires more CPU power than the Pi can provide. Advance warning: All the versions of MAME are terrible.
