Thank you for not only answering my questions but for the stroll down memory lane. Yes, I was also dragged to the bowling alley or roller rink as a child. And yes, The Simpsons game saved my sanity.

"X-Men Welcome To Die" that line by Magneto in that X-Men game always slays Me! Good stuff bro, these are all great classics!

A tutorial that actually makes sense... Great vid Retro Bro!!!

DUUUUDE! This is exactly what I was looking for. I want X-Men and The Simpsons on my RP3 and RP0. Thanks man.

Thank you very much for that little detail about FBA being the one folder that my MAME roms need to be in, finally all of my games work (albeit not all of them work perfectly)

Solid Video! And here I thought I was the only kid who grew up getting dragged to a bowling alley for my first "true arcade" experience. Man I gave those folks hundreds of dollars in quarters! Nice!

Thanks a lot man! I've been stressing out trying to get mine to work. Worked like a charm!

RIP Emuparadise :(

Glad I found this as I've been trying to get Ninja super batman and DarkStalkers to work so bad for hours and coming up short no matter what emulator I try. In fact, every single emulator for Mame comes up short other The Simpsons. I'll be trying the final burn folder Idea when I'm home for sure! *Crosses fingers and prays*

Sir, you are a genius ! Thanks so much for this tutorial :)

thanks man, good help showing the fba folder, once I found that I was good to go!

Thanks so much, I was struggling

Fantastic tutorial! I was dying to play "Shadows over Mystara" and now I successfully got it working; thanks for your help!

Thank you for the video. My games are working now!

thanks! i watched your video because i too wanted to play Simpsons arcade!

thanks for this video, i was trying to figure this out

Very nice video and fun to watch. Have a nice day.

Work liked a charm thanks

OH MY FUCKING GO D FINALLY THIS WORKS... seriously its been a 4 day process of finding where the problem even was

Exactly what I was looking for you are a lifesaver! Quick question what theme is that you are using? Keep up the great work!

Oh, man!! I'm gonna try that right now!!!

Thanks to this video I managed to get two games to work. Most still don’t but 2 > 0

YOUR THE BEST!!!!

Great help

Do you think u could upload a rom pack that has playable games because I'm currently finding it a hit or miss whether it can be played or not

Thanks most of my Mame roms did not play until I put them into Fba.

I tried playing some older game ROMs like Burgertime using the FBA folder and it didn't work. I can get all my MAME roms to work on Windows but the only ones I can get to work in retropie are Defender and Time Pilot.

I’m hoping you can help me out I’m look at the 0.207 Rom set & I was wondering if I follow this will they work for me I never used MAME before so any help would be appreciated

I've followed the steps but you mention briefly here that you've already scraped the games...I kind of a newbie but when I tried scraping the games in pie it says no games found even though there's tons of games on there. I added file unzipped to folder you suggested and games won't start. Any suggestions?

What about the other mame files like the taito ir CPS2 zip files where do those go. Typically on my pc on Mame I leave them in the roms folder is it the same with this? Because currently only the Mame NeoGeo roms and Capcom 2D fighting games are working for mine...

If anyone could help I'd greatly appreciate it. When my roms download to Winrar i cant get the folder zipped, it only makes more Winrar shortcuts. Is there a way to play MAME games without zip files? If not how can i zip my files without making more Winrar shortcuts? Ive watched tons of videos on how to convert it but nothing seems to work

Hey none of the game worked for me when I downloaded from Emupardise. Do i need to download an entire Mame romset and put it into some folder? Any help is appreciated

thanks for this! i liked this video cuz it needs some :D i'll be playing segasonic the hedgehog and other arcade games!

Need help When I start my fba and neo geo games I hear them playing but I don't get a image any idea what can it be

Valiant effort but the only one of the 50 roms that I had that worked via this method was the simpsons oddly enough. thank you regardless

What's the best way to turn off the Raspberry Pi 4 after you're done playing it? Should I shut it down through the emulator/RetroPie internally or just flip the power switch on the power cord adapter manually?

So do I need any of the CHD files? Cause I have my files in the advmame folder but it always kicks me out of the rom before it ever gets to launch

why does your Retro PI UI look different then mine? How do I get skins ?

All I wanted to do was to play Rastan Saga and I could never get it working. I never thought of putting it in the fba folder. I will have to give that a try.

I got a couple games to work then added some and they didn't work. THEN I went back to the original games that worked and they no longer work as well. Any idea on what to do to fix this? Edit: Figured it out I think but running into a different problem. Some files just don't work but the ones that do work stop working when I go to rename them. Any idea on how to fix that?

Thanks bro,once again your video saved me A LOT of frustration.do you have patreon?

Fba?? Should have watched this video years ago. Now I am on my way to work and hope to get them to work when I get home about 11 hours from now.

Thanks!

i hear final burn alpha is a really good arcade emulator but i have not mess around with it much but i really should get to that but it seem very easy to set up on the Pi wish is great. funny since simpsons arcade was also one of the first arcade games i played at a corner store along with bubble bobble

the goat

i can't get anything that uses .zip files to work any idea of what could be going wrong

I just got a retrostone and wondering how can i play these games on it , it’s pretty much harder than i thought

How do you access the input settings during game play on mame on odroid xu4 retropie? I tried everything on the controller but nothing i wanna use some cheats

Every time I lead a room it just return me to the rom select screen and I dont know what to do

Bro i need like all the street fighter mame roms on my pie but i have a chromebook for some reason i download them from romsmania and they dont work please help me

Great video . What build were you using . The emulator page looks great

what are you using for retro pie to get the nice cycle effect? Like are you using rerto arch?

Maybe you can help me, because this isn't working. I've did the same tutorial in the video bur for different roms I'm getting a message that the are files missing.

I have a rom pack called MAME 0.151, there are more than 28000 files in it. I don't think they're all MAME... Is there a way to tell which ones are? I have no idea how to sort these... Anyone know?

I downloaded the simpsons rom. Kept it zipped. And place it in the fba folder. It didn't work after the restart. Did I do something wrong?

Thank you

What theme are you using? it looks awesome!

I can't open , when i push the title write fbneo and not fbalpha and bring me back in title... Help ? Thanks

not one rom worked in FBA...put them in the mame 4 all and some of them worked.

Surprised that you don't need to unzip the files. Does that go for other systems to like psx dreamcast etc no unzipping?

i like the word simple !

Drop mame in mame folder or in the arcade folder if yku drop them in fba folder its the onky 2 emus you can pick from fbaalpha or fbaalpha2012

My MAME roms are from 0.139 (mame4droid) should I copy on mame4all folder or fba?

great video...a few questions for a potential future owner of PI...i have been a MAME user since the early versions...i am considering using Raspberry PI to build a standalone cabinet...will I just be able to copy the current MAME ROMS in to PI without any real hassle or is there a conversion...also can I load multiple versions of games such as DK, DK2, DK Foundry or is it limited to one Donkey Kong

Thanks. I was putting my roms in the Mame4all and having no success. The fba folder has fixed the issue. I can now play capcom vs snk. Works just fine on the old raspberry pi model too.

The XMEN 6 player cab by far was my favorite! Do you have yours in a cabinet? Looking at making a mame 4 player on a Pi 3b+, haven't seen to many.

Bro' I really miss the arcade and the cabinet , I'm gonna build one .

I am having so much trouble getting TMNT arcade Mame on my RetroPie to work. Can you please help?

Hi Retro Bro, having trouble running The Simpsons Arcade on my rpi 400, i have tried all my roms folder but it fails to run hope you can give me a tip on how to move forward. BR

I did the same thing you did, but it still won't pop up in my pie. Help, please?

So, I'm very new to this whole Raspberry Pi & RetroPie thing. I am not very knowledgeable about it at all. Recently, I purchased the LABISTS Raspberry Pi 4 4GB Complete Starter PRO Kit with 32GB Micro SD Card (4GB RAM). I was finally able to get it set up and I was able to play a few games on it last night (5/26/21). The main reason why I decided to go with a Raspberry Pi was because I'm a child of the 80s and 90s. I wanted to have a system that let me play retro video games such as arcade games and console games (Genesis & SNES) from that time period. The problem I've run into now is that some of the roms work fine and others don't. I can't figure out why this is happening. I have heard that arcade roms use MAME, etc . . . Some of the arcade and 16-bit console roms are working, but other ones are not. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix this latest issue that I'm facing? Thanks.

Normally I prefer people to talk in their videos, but this time I wish you didn't and just clicked on the steps to get it to work because you wasted too much time getting to the point. But, at least I liked the video because I can now play MAME games. Thank you.

Hi. I have a problem. I cant run RUN AND GUN 2. Even 1 i cant run it. i am getting error.

great video. Whats your take on games like spiderman arcade game? It doesn't load. Whats your solution for games that have that reaction that just brings you back to game select?

Wow! You even have Wrestlefest on there!

NONE of these ROMS work in Mame on my Pi. I know its a version problem but seriously? Ive tried 50 and only one of them works

Would you make a video using Recalbox? are is it the same process

Hi none of my Roms even load and just revert back to list screen. Any ideas??

Do I need to install MAME first on my Pi 3?

ZN1 games like Street fighter EX2 are working well?

Try to Use Motion Blue base pack to ran Mame games. You are losing time trying to installs/configures.

Anyone know if a game called jet fighter works on m.a.m.e?

Hi, this worked for the tmnt arcade but I can’t seem to exit the game, I tried start & select on my controller, also f4 on keyboard but nothing is letting me exit? Can you help?

How did you add Alien Vs Predator arcade in your retropie. Does not seem to work with Fba or any mame emus?

I can't get Virtua Racing to work... Placing the Zip file in the folder doesn't work.

What version of emulationstation is that?

Bless

Adding .zip roms to fba folder does not seem to work. Any other ideas here in 2019? I tried, fba and arcade folders. Retropie 3 if that matters.

Did not work for me, i downloaded the 6666 games pack and tried 10 roms randomly none of them work...

Does not work for me when I try this... when I choose the game to run it just comes back to the menu... any idea what is wrong with this? Some of the emulators need the bios file I hear.. Is this why? (where to get the bios?)

How does he have retropie on the network page?

It would be great to have a ready-to-lay RetroPie with all ROMs on it as ISO. Configuring it is painful.

How many games can you store on the rasberry? Can you run an external storage on it like a thumb drive or external hard drive? I was gonna throw an old pc in a mame cabinet but considering a pi

Will not work for the majority of mame roms.

It's been a long time since you released that tutorial, but hope you can help me. I have a raspberry pi 3B+ and just installed Retropie. Following your tutorial I also downloaded SuperPang. My problem is when I'm playing for a couple of minutes a message pops up saying "Reset" and game restarts. Can you help me please?

Every time I open a rom, it crashes. Please help I've been looking how to fix this problem for months.

how is the name of your front end?

Can I run the simpsons 4 player? It would be great to get my friends together to play it again
