As you can guess, in most cases we will discard all clone roms and only used the main (or parent) ones. Most of the code used to make those game roms playable is included in the MAME emulator. Sadly this means that there is a strong and close relationship between a MAME version and the game roms versions : When MAME releases a new version, game roms may need to be updated to fit to the new emulator version.

To keep it simple: if you use a certain MAME emulator, say version 0.78, you also have to get your hands on and use the 0.78 version of the romset. Some games from another romset may work with your version but the only way to be sure that the most games are working is to use only a MAME version in conjunction with the romset of the same version.įor recent versions (such as the one used by FBNeo, see below) there are less and less modifications of game roms, so it is sometime possible to use an older set and still have most of the games playable, but once again : the only way to be sure that the most games are working is to use only a MAME version in conjunction with the romset of the same version. This is because with each new versions, MAME can take new ROM dumps as their reference for emulators. A ROM dump that worked with an earlier version of MAME might not work with a recent version any longer.

So each version of MAME has its specific romset, see the table in Advanced section for a full list.īatocera for PC is shipped with the latest stable MAME version available at the time of release, see table up thereĮmulator that performs well on low-power boards. Retropietest's excellent page on it (note we aren't using the same romset version).There are no changeable settings for emulators within RetroidOS, and currently there is no way to add new emulation cores.
