I actually like using the MAME 2003 (0.78) romset, which is 13.8GB in size altogether (minus CHDs). Either way, that’s something to think about when considering your microSD card storage space. If you remove those CHD files, the romset is reduced to about 20GB. Note that MAME 2003-Plus romset is actually 33.8GB in size, but a lot of that comes from CHD files for heavy-duty games that don’t run well on the RG351P anyway. I prefer the MAME 2003-Plus core and romset, because as RetroArch says, it has “the closest integration with the libretro frontend API”, which means that you can tweak the settings directly in RetroArch instead of the clunky MAME menu. CHD files should be copied to subfolders within the folder where the MAME ROM zips have been installed. The path where these samples should be copied varies from emulator to emulator.ĬHD: Some MAME games require data from an internal hard drive, CD-ROM, laserdisk, or other media in order to be emulated - those forms of media are packaged as CHD files.

Sample: Some games require an additional zip file with recorded sounds or music in order for audio to work correctly. For example, MAME 0.37b5 ROMs are required by the MAME 2000 emulator, but will not work correctly with the MAME 2010 emulator, which requires MAME 0.139 ROMs. ROM version or romset version: Each version of an arcade emulator must be used with ROMs that have the same exact version number. That is why some resources refer to an individual arcade game as a ROM (like people use to describe a zipped game cartridge ROM) while other resources refer to an individual game as a ROM set or romset. ROM, ROM set, and romset: Arcade games are packaged as zip files, most of which are composed of more than one individual ‘ROM’ file. If you’re wondering about the difference between a ROM and a romset, here is how RetroArch defines them: More variety and accuracy.įinalBurn Neo – best for fighting games and beat-em-ups. MAME – best for classic and non-fighting games. In general, this is how I distinguish which emulator to use for certain games: So if you’re looking to play a specific game, it may only be available in one of the two romsets, or will play better in one and not the other. Note that the romsets for MAME and FinalBurn Neo, the two arcade emulators I recommend, have some differing game files.

But setting up arcade games is rather complicated, so I’d like to walk you through the process. With its upgraded RK3326 (1.3GHz) CPU, the RG351P can play arcade games at more accurate speeds than Anbernic’s previous handheld system, the RG350 series. But the times they do startup fine, they run perfectly with no further unexpected quits during gameplay (just the volume issue).Last updated: 31OCT2020 (see Changelog for details) I've also noticed that those same select games that play at lower volumes are the same that occasionally unexpectedly quit at the startup. I don't know if it's something easy to do, but I don't remember differences in audio levels in the past using macmame. If not, I think this would be a great thing to implement. Is there an option I'm overlooking (similar to iTunes soundcheck) that will make all games the same level. Is there a sure way to keep these ROMs "favorited" at startup?Īnother question/suggestion I have is I've noticed that some games audio is much much lower than others. To remedy this in the meantime, I've tried simply "favoriting" the ROMs I do have, but they won't all stay in the favorite list. One questions I have is whether or not their is an option to consolidate the list to only the ROMs stored in the ROMs folder? First, I'd like to thank you for keeping this going.
