Set one (the larger set) is the parent rom, set two+ are the clones. If the rom versions are correct, you can play the parent rom by itself but you absolutely must have the parent rom if you're trying to play the clones. This is because in split romsets, the clone game only contains the files for the clone game and must pull assets from the parent. You're working with a merged or split romset. I usually recommend not using split romsets in favor of non-merged romsets. With non-merged romsets, each file is it's own standalone game. Neo-geo and MAME in general are arguably two of the trickiest emulators to get working.

Using full, matching romsets is the most efficient way to get things working. What you're doing with individual rom is sometimes really tricky as you're now finding out. Friendly warning, you'll want to remove that site name from your post.

Retro Pie Complete Installation Pack – 64GB – DrMaxwell. So to quickly summarise Retro Pi Complete Installation Pack ( 64gb SD version) is a complete RasPi image for you to download, put on your card and boot your Pi and play games. “Goal was to create a base installation rather than a finished product. Future plans are to add to this base. GurgelBrannare OK, that could be your problem. GnGeo is notoriously 'picky' on ROMS, the EXACT revision must be used and iMAME4ALL is only compatible with a few selected Neo-Geo Titles.

Goes against the spirit of the subreddit rules. Sorry I can't help you with your problem though. I just went the full Non-Merged set route, used a newbie friendly 'Best of' bat, and haven't had any issues outside of not personalizing my collection yet like I did with every other system so far and a few others I plan to that I haven't tackled yet. Edit: Oh, but I can say that Shock Troopers works fine in FBA from v0.2.97.39 of a non-merged romset.

Hey guys, For all of those who have ventured into using the raspberry pi for their small cabs and projects, I have a quick question. I've installed retropie v. 2.3 updated, upgraded, etc It's using emulation station as the front end and I have Pisnes and mame 0.37b5 along with the preinstalled ports-duke nukem, doom, and cave story. I have set up my controls according to this post- So everything is working according to plan after playing with the config file for all the emulators except one snag. I have set up my shift key as my coin insert button '6' and exit command as button '6' + player 1 start '7' here is the command: input_enable_hotkey_btn = “6″ input_exit_emulator_btn = “7″ I can start a SNES ROM or 1 of the 3 dos port games and this command does exactly like it's intended to.it immediately exits the emulator and goes back to Emulation Station front end.

When I try this in Mame, nothing at all happens. I tried changing the button combination to a different set of mapped buttons but nothing. Online tamil typing bamini. Does anyone have any ideas what's going on?

If needed I can try and copy the input section of my config file if it would shed some light. I'm actually impressed with the ease of installation and setup for Retropie. It really is a plug and play system by simply adding your roms and bios if needed, and then it auto-populates the menu in Emulation Station. I was intimidated by the linux interface but with all the fantastic forums and write ups on almost every aspect of the Pie setup, it was like following a recipe. I haven't tried to use the ES scraper to grab artwork, but since this was a Christmas gift for my father in law, I wasn't too worried about it. I will probably make one of these all-in-one control panels for myself also, and I've also been looking at the Raspicade distribution. Looks promising also.
