So after running into the commonly known mame-issues, i’ve read one should use mame4all instead of the preset mame, but it has to be installed manually (i’m running the 2.3 image).
Before i tried, i found the directory
/opt/retropie/emulators/mame4all-pi
obviously containing mame4all already (right?).
Then, i even discovered (feeling like indy by the time) in
/etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
the line
<!-- alternatively: <command>/opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/installdir/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/emulatorcores/imame4all-libretro/libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg --appendconfig /opt/retropie/configs/mame/retroarch.cfg %ROM% </command> -->
and used this one instead of the standard <command>.
Something must have worked; when i run mame now it’s apparently a different emulator, since it renders differently.
However, none of the roms that weren’t working before now do (which didn’t raise too much suspicion) BUT those that do (and did before) now run even more sloppy (@900 mhz) AND i can’t access the mame menu via tab.
So is this the recommended mame4all or even another one and i still need to do the manual way?
regards (and sry for the spelling :))
