Process for playing arcade games for dummies:

1. Get RetroArch
2. Get FB Neo core and MAME - Current core (ideally don't upgrade MAME to .241 since it removes games like Akai Katana)
3. Get an idea of the games you'd like to play
4. Know the associated .zip filenames for these games (e.g Metal Slug 2 is mslug2.zip). You can find what games have what filenames on Arcade Italia or EE
NOTE: YOU CANNOT CHANGE THESE FILENAMES AT ALL OR HAVE UNZIPPED FILES IF YOU WANT MAME OR FB NEO TO RECOGNIZE THEM
5. Know what other files are required. This could be a bios, a "parent game" (the largest filesize, usually the World version, but depends), or some random support file. These other required files must be in the directory with the zip file of the game. There is a huge list of MAME support files that various games may require. Also "nonmerged" files include the necessary files required to play the game, while "merged" files are meant to be used as part of a massive bloated set (not recommended). Also, sites like TCRF or tvtropes can tell you regional differences between games so you can decide which is best.
6. Now that you have all your files, go into RetroArch, and test all your games. Do a manual scan of your directory, set the category as FB Neo and the default core as FB Neo. Delete anything from the playlist (within RetroArch) that is a support file or a parent file that you don't plan on playing (files that are only there to make games work).
7. Confirm games work with FB Neo, or change core default to MAME otherwise (many 2000's+ games are not support by FB Neo unfortunately). You may get an error if you don't have the required files, so just double check you have all needed files for that game.

>>8786157
8. Name all your games how YOU want them to be named, within RetroArch itself (this is called a "label" in the playlist, it doesn't affect filename). A good method is "[game name] aka [alternative region name]", or "[game name] [region]". You can also put a 1 after some first games in a series just so they're ordered properly alphabetically.
9. Take the playlist .lpl file in RetroArch (that sets all names and core associations) and set it as "read only" so it can't get deleted or changed and make sure you save it.
10. You can set individual dip switches in RetroArch's quick menu and control schemes per game. FB Neo actually has individualized per-game control bindings (so each game will have its own unique set of buttons binded instead of just a generic controller). However, if it's a NEO GEO game, you will have to actually change settings within the game itself using service mode and set the soft dip to adjust game settings (think of it like an arcade operator would be toggling physical dip switches, while a home user would be navigating a menu to adjust his virtual dip switches, which is why it's different). You can also set CPU overclock per-game, which can help remove slowdowns. Occasionally some games will have timing or other issues if not at 100% CPU but that's rare.
11. If you need to add more games to your playlist, basically make a new playlist like you did in the first place, except now just copy and paste the playlist text into the old playlist text. Make sure you have a comma after the last item in the playlist (since the last item in a playlist has no comma, but if you're throwing it in the middle of a playlist then it will need a comma).

Wrong...cycle accurate emulation already exists.

For an emulator to be "cycle accurate" means the interactions between the components are timed accurately enough so that the emulation behaves the same way as the original machine for any given input.

There would be no difference you can discern if given the same controller between two TVs.

It is years out of date thank you very much and I don't know how you are ever going to have to concern yourself with missing BIOS files. You just have them all since they're like ~100MB combined and never worry about it ever again. It tells you whether you need the CHD - oh, guess what? It shares the same file name as the ROM. It tells you what the parent ROM is too and that is quite literally all the info you need to get a game going. All the other stuff you mentioned is rarely needed. So rarely in fact, I'm tempted to say never.

It's just more accurate to record at a higher framerate so you can see exactly when the button is compressed and when the screen reacts. Across dozens of samples, the input lag was about 14ms average for DKC, and that's including display and controller lag (i.e. it's button-to-pixel)

It's simply not well implemented and feels like you're launch into MAME with its own rules for display, input, and audio with the Libretro API. It doesn't leverage the API well at all.

Yeah. Because that is exactly what you are doing. It's the one of the worst cores. I wouldn't even call it a port. The two projects just don't mix. Anyone who recommends using MAME in RetroArch doesn't have the slightest idea what they're talking about. You gain absolutely nothing from doing that except more problems.

So it's exactly as it should be? RetroArch is a front-end as it should be. You can access the config menu and adjust settings from there or do it within RetroArch itself.

The rebinding is a bit stupid because MAME is supposed to include individualized controller like all other cores, but it doesn't really matter because Arcade games only use a few buttons. Just take the button that does action X and swap it to the button you want it on. You can save individualized bindings for each game. You can also use the Select + Triangle config menu to rebind within the internal MAME menu as well if you want.

>>8786878
>It doesn't feel or act like it should.
Do you have literally *anything* to substantiate that at all? It feels perfectly fine to me. The frame-pacing, exact frame-rate, game speed, input latency and audio latency all function exactly as they should. You might not have something configured correctly.

Dude, just stop. You have no idea what you're even talking about. Like if you can't see these problems your use cas is obviously so surface level that you have no business lecturing others about MAME. If it works well enough for you, fine. So be it. For many others it does not. It's a bad core and that's that. It's no a fully ported in the sense of the Libretro API and that causes problems. It's just a hack job to tick off MAME as one of the available emulators in RetroArch eventhough it's POS. It's not even so much that they're lazy or anything about it - eventhough they could've done a better job. The two projects don't go well together by their very nature. Some projects just don't make much sense. Some endavours are doomed to fail. Jamming MAME into RA makes no sense. It's completely unnecessary. They only do it because they think it looks bad if they don't have it. Yeah it runs. Is it usable if you want just one other single thing from it than to boot a ROM? No. Not at all. RetroArch shines as a frontend for home console emulation. That is a entirely different world from what the MAME project is about.

I just don't see much point in it, really. It doesn't leverage RA in any way that improves it, except maybe the shaders. I use CRT-geom-deluxe in both MAME and RA, so that advantage isn't there. I don't even think the core is any less latent than standalone thanks to the -lowlatency feature cutting lag down in newer MAME builds. There's no run-ahead support. As far as convenience goes, I find Arcade64 to be better in that regard. I recall there being some sound clipping/crunch issues last I used the core. Adding extensions such as the history dat file is also a little trickier (but possible) in RA. It previously had some issues changing and keeping inputs, but I'm sure that's been fixed.

Anyway. I'm sure it's fine, it just feels like an incomplete core compared to the others. It hands off so many of Libretro's usual duties and I'm sure this adds to lag too. Need to test that further.

Last time I tried there was a ton of hardcoded stuff that they didn't touch when "porting" MAME over to the Libretro API resulting in a lot of conflicts. Input configuration was just one big clusterfuck.

The core just behaved like a standalone MAME installation inside your RetroArch directory. Meaning it creates unique cfg file for every single game you launch - and it does so with a completely seperate directory structure all its own carried over directly from standalone. That is NOT how RetroArch usually handles things. There was a ton of others issues as well, like the tab menu. The fact that it's even still there goes to show that this is not a full port. Usually all that stuff would go work through RetroArch's Quick Menu. Do you have any idea how much work that would be? Completely unfeasable. Not to mention that last time I tried the MAME tab menu's resolution was so busted you couldn't even read anything bc it was so blurry. It quickly became clear to me that this core is not up to standard.

I'm halfway tempted to compile a version of MAME 0.240 that changes the name of the program to "ShouTime is a FAGGOT" and bundle it with Akai Katana and Dodonpachi Saidaioujou, and post it as "ShouTimeIsAFaggot.7z".

Again, you stupid fucking faggot... NAME ONE FUCKING SPECIFIC CONCRETE EXAMPLE OF HOW IT IS ACTUALLY FUCKING WORSE IN RETROARCH

Christ you stupid little fucking faggots over here with your vague generalizations and patronizing bullshit. Fucking kill yourself you braindead cunt. Just because it doesn't have advantages doesn't mean it's WORSE in RetroArch and that's why you can't fucking name anything.

A major advantage of RetroArch is one consolidated program and UI for all your emulators, and that's why people use RetroArch with MAME. If I'm playing one Arcade game with FB Neo, I don't want to exit out, open a new program, use a totally different UI just to play another Arcade game that requires MAME

>>8786983
Yeah, the MAME team really just hates RetroArch, and FB Neo works much better in RetroArch for the games that support it, and is also lower input lag (inherently plus support for run-ahead). Individualized controller rebindings and dip switches are literally built into the quick menu for each game which is nice.

Retard fuck

Also most of this shit is just outright wrong anyways..

The tab menu resolution should be the native aspect ratio of the game. If you want to change the aspect ratio of the game while not affecting the tab menu ratio, you should adjust the aspect ratio within the MAME tab menu rather than RetroArch itself (not that it actually matters... since if you aren't using the MAME tab menu, then you don't care what the MAME tab menu looks like...)

The core config files and game remap files save literally identically to EVERY OTHER FUCKING CORE (within the MAME folder in config, and within the MAME folder in remaps respectively). In fact, FB Neo is the ONLY core that does not follow this, and instead uses one consolidated config file for everything, with each game having its own unique lines (and this is what allows it to have individualized settings and controls per-game, something that is unique to FB Neo)

Again, you cannot name a single fucking disadvantage of it that is not just "this is too similar to standalone" and it's not like you have to even use the tab menu at all. Basically everything RetroArch can do for any other core (like resolution, aspect ratio, scaling, sync to exact framerate, filters, shaders, audio adjustment, rebinding, etc.) can all be done with MAME within RetroArch itself (which is how I do it, because I like one consolidated UI instead of a dozen different ones for every emulator)

You patronize me yet you are fucking clueless when it comes to RetroArch. Fucking assclown.

I just use Nebula instead. Yeah, it hasn't been updated since 2007, but all the games it runs came out before then, so it's fine. FBA and Winkawaks are backup for anything that won't run in that...and then if nothing else works, MAME GUI. I think my version of MAME is pretty ancient, from like a decade ago and unless something doesn't work, I see no need to upgrade it, since the devs care more about accuracy than making sure you can play the games.

They removed support for a couple of games in version 0.240 because they got a takedown request from the copyright holder. So you're going to need to keep 0.239 or earlier around if you want to play them.
This sets a bad precedent and may open the floodgates to more removed games because of copyright bullshit.

Nah, MAME has removed games before. Sega Sonic Bros was nuked before the next release of MAME happened, and now it's a part of the set.
>>8787405
MAME team goes along with it since they don't want to make waves, and have no money for legal issues.
>>8787525
You can download the source of older versions just the same as the current source. 0.239 will have the ROM definitions in the code needed to have MAME recognize the game and hook it to the correct driver(cv1k IIRC). Much like how you could have Sega Sonic Bros by adding in the code, you'll be able to do the same with these two games. Just copy+paste the bits needed into the current release, and compile. Boom, you have a copy of the current release of MAME that supports these two games. The only people this is preventing from playing these games are the people who can only download the pre-compiled MAME.
That's the great part about open-source stuff like MAME. If the devs make a change you don't like, you can change it back.

There is also an even more accurate form of emulation: circuit accurate. In such emulators, not only is every single machine cycle emulated perfectly, every single internal component, down to logic gates, is also emulated.

However, this requires such an ungodly amount of computing power that it's not feasible on current PC hardware. Besides, cycle accuracy is already enough to guarantee that the experience is going to be indistinguishable from the original hardware: the same exact inputs are going to produce the same exact outputs, every time.

The main problem is the lack of organized, simplified, start-up tutorials. If someone can make a hack of an arcade game and get it to run despite not being in the "set", then it shouldn't be too hard to properly explain how to get old dumps to work in newer versions. The problem being that they're all the "gatekeepers" whining about "gatekeeping", so HBMAME has to exist with an entirely different ROM set of 1000's of arcade hacks, homebrew & bootlegs that relatively few people know about that will never be added to the main MAME.
The arcade emu scene is filled with pretentious douchebags.

Then they failed. The only reason they look like that is because all they need is a unique identifier using characters that all systems support without being absurdly long to the point where even modern OS filesystems start bitching.

You're expected to couple the romset with the database for that romset which links the identifier to the name, version, developer, date, etc... You can't reasonably put all that information in the file name.

Last time I checked the Roms were under 70 GB and the CHD set is around 580 GB.
Maybe you're downloading the "full retard" complete version that has full sets of roms for every computer and game console that mame emulates? Mame's emulation for those usually sucks balls compared to other emulators.
You want to play arcade games without issues, get a full rom set but not the fuckhuge one that includes every rom for every game console.
CHD sets are actually waste of space. Not "boohoo over 100 MB of slot machines I will never play is triggering my autism" but multiple 12GB dumps of laserdisc games that will never work properly. Check a compatibility list and individually download those chds, the games that actually work have the smaller chds.

You have to literally look up every single fucking game and the variants because the naming system is such a clusterfuck. And then in instances of something of ddpsdoj you have to put it in a new fucking folder just for that one game because you can't have two dfkbl filenames. Or when testing merged vs. nonmerged, you always have to keep them in separate folders since they have the same filename.

Literally every single other emulator you can change the filename to whatever you want so you can have those custom names saved. For MAME, you have to keep an associated RetroArch playlist file and it's a pain in the ass to update constantly

But yep you're going to make some excuse how this retarded ass backwards bullshit that no other emulator does is actually the *right* way. Fuck off

Dump all the roms from a non-merged update set to a separate folder. Add that folder as an additional roms path in mame. Mame picks the correct files automatically.
I know some people like to use fancy programs that update the set or whatever, but since a couple of games have been removed for copyright issues, that method sucks now. Are those programs going to delete the roms because they're not supported by mame anymore? Overcomplicated method proven gay again.

No, it's done like that since most MAME dev is done at the command line, and typing in mslug.zip is easier than typing in Metal_Slug.zip. Plus without spaces and special characters in the name, they don't have to worry about Linux and Windows handling special characters differently.

Every non-arcade emulator is running whatever you throw at it, at a single emulated machine. MAME needs to know what arcade machine it's emulating. Instead of expecting you to be smart enough to pick the right system, it just checks the name and ties that .zip of roms to the proper machine driver. If you want MAME to behave differently, fork it and make the changes you want to see. We both know you're too retarded to code, since you can't even figure out how to work MAME.

MAME & RetroArch are equally shit for the purpose of playing arcade games. MAME devs want to pretend they can one-up RetroArch and say how terrible it is on /r/emulation & Twitter, but then they're still Reddit Royalty, where their updooting army keeps coming into this thread to proclaim the greatness and flawlessness of the software.
That then becomes MAME's primary appeal as the devs & userbase spend more time jerking each other off on Twitter & Reddit over their hatred of RetroArch's devs than they actually improve anything and have to "remove" game compatibility from their listing due to Copyright nonsense. It's not RetroArch, so everything that's wrong with it is actually perfection.

I've played a few 3D games in MAME, but pretty much anything more advanced than Atari's mid-late 90s 3D boards (like what Vapor TRX runs on) isn't well emulated. Vapor TRX does however, run beautifully.
A fairly hard cutoff is NAOMI board stuff -- which occasionally works despite the big red warning message... but it only gets 40% speed on a 3600X, and with some rather rough looking graphics emulation.
Still, most PS1 board stuff works just fine (even on slower machines even though MAME is not exactly fast lol) and a bunch of Namco stuff like Rave Racer and Time Crisis works fine (needs somewhat fast hardware to run smoothly).

>>8788317
yeah, circuit accurate shit is super slow
for example, you can load up Pong in MAME -- it is a full circuit-level emulation of the game, no ROMs, no CPU, and boy is it slow
not going to pretend MAME's implementation is optimized, but it gives a clear indication of just how hard it is

This goes to the rest of you dumb niggers too: you know you can just put the updated ROMs in their own folder(s) and have MAME check those too, right? It's still frustrating but it's not as bad as you guys make it up to be. Before I knew that I'd just get another matching merged set every 4 years or so.

fuck them over in what way? you are literally the only person they are fucking over. literally NO ONE is trying to do what you're doing. regular mame users literally unzip the collection into a folder and point mame at it or unzip it into the rom directory. no one could or should literally give a fuck about the filenames. so no, 99.99% of users are NOT fucked over, 99.99% of users are fine and the .01% is YOU.
>And now these trannies are censoring games too and removing them from releases going forward
are you stupid? this is how the law works, with ALL emulators. do you understand that they HAVE to do this or they'll get sued, this can happen with ANY emulator at ANY time, and this has happened with mame several times already, guess y ou never cared about those other times though, you probably weren't even born yet. and what happens is that they eventually add them over time, so this isn't really a problem. it's just a very delayed add. also, who gives a flying fuck, the game that wasn't added was some stupid obscure asian game as usual that no one cares about. who gives a literal shit about this issue. it doesn't set a bad precedent, this precedent has always been there. if you think mame should stand up to the law and just add whatever whenever then put up your money for their lawyers and court costs. oh, you won't? didn't think so.

There's a few ways to do it. You just want to play the 2 missing games? Search ddpsdoj on archive, somebody has uploaded a bundle with arcade mame that includes them.
You could run mame 0239 with a current 0242 rom set and probably not have many issues. Add the 2 missing roms to the set. Just get both versions of mame to be sure.
I don't know where to find a full 0239 set, but on archive somebody has uploaded a bunch.
https://archive.org/details/@atrac_17_0
They have a merged 0229 full set and update sets for 0230-0239, so you could get those. Put all the update sets in separate folders and add them as additional rom paths. You don't manually overwrite files when you're updating mame roms. Not unless you have a program that does rom set merging and will update the zip files.

Click the menu button in the top left corner, click machines
Do what the image says, additional filters, CHD and emulation status.
Out of 846 games that use CHDs, only 279 work at all. And that includes games that are "imperfect" which can mean anything from something you won't notice, to runs like total ass but it "works".
Only 132 games are in true working status. Consider taking a look at this before you download all 580 GB of shit.

???

This literally has zero fucking effect you moron. Each core has its input device (usually just a standard controller, but it could also be a special controller supported by the system if you want to use that), and then there is always the generic "RetroPad" configuration that is just the standard Xbox/PS layout, and then you map the actions to the associated buttons.

The global level rebinding is really only ever changed if you have a nonstandard controller (like a six button) you can choose how you want your controller to be seen, so you can assign the fifth and sixth buttons to L3/R3 or to the triggers, or whatnot.

For Arcade games, each game even has its own set of controls, so something complex like Midnight Resistance has all its controls laid out, while a basic arcade game with only two buttons, you only choose those two. You can also save a control scheme per-game or for the entire core.

It's really fucking simple and you're either braindead or have never used RetroArch for more than five minutes. Probably both.

Gee that worked great. So I can get around this by creating separate main configuation files for each controller. But I can't map buttons directly to controller functions at the emulator level. That might interfere with Captain Raspberry Pifag's ability to just switch to a different emulator and WOW the controls are mapped even though I never used it before! Play NES for 5 seconds then play Genesis for 5 seconds then 5 seconds of PS1.
They were doing so well up until then with the ability to save configurations at a system or game level, what a shame.

Not even going to read this garbage, you're just a braindead idiot who wants spoonfed. You don't need to adjust global controller config at all if you have a standard controller. If you have a nonstandard controller, you can choose exactly how you want those buttons to correspond to a standard layout. No shit RetroArch doesn't have a custom controller layout for every single controller in existence you stupid fuck, you just choose the buttons on your controller how you want to correspond to the standard PS/Xbox Xinput layout.

You can save a remap file for game and reload any remap file you have for any game. (e.g. you can make a custom remap file for Contra, then you can load and save that file to Super Contra too). If you want to use an arcade stick or whatever for a certain game (not sure why the fuck you would ever need more than DualSense + arcade stick), then you can save a binding for that.

Two rules of mame config:

Just stop tarding it up with RA. The roms from a 0.239 set will most likely work with the current Mame which is 0.242 since its only a few months newer. I don't know what the Retroarch core version is, doesn't matter.
If you want to play those games that were removed you need a version of Mame that's 0.239 or earlier, or a fork of Mame that supports them.
If you keep updating your Mame core without updating your rom set, yes your games might stop working because of a rom revision. Mame isn't meant to be updated without thinking.

Yes it's gay. But on the plus side this could make Retroarch fags stop mindlessly auto-updating their Mame "core", maybe even use a real version of Mame. It gives people a motivation to create new Mame forks. Possibly even "Mame for Terminal Retards" that has all the latest updates but also maintains legacy support code for the 20 year old dump you got from coolrom, that worked just fine with the Mame you burned to a CDROM when George W Bush was president. I doubt it, but one of the mame complainers could make this version they seem to want.

FB Neo is basically just as accurate as MAME for the games it supports. FB Neo has lower inherent input lag, full run-ahead support, and better integration/UI. The only issue is that FB Neo just supports a smaller library of games (a lot of 2000's Arcade games are only supported through MAME)

RetroArch is the complete opposite of simplicity and that's not why people praise it you smoothbrain tard. The complexity is the reason why most people hate it, because they are too stupid to figure it out, even if it's only one consistent UI you need to learn and then it's the same for hundreds of platforms.

All we're saying is people need to shut up about their self-inflicted zoomerarch problems. Mame core doesn't work good? Who gives a fuck you retard, mame devs don't need to change shit. Problems with dos games in Dosbox Pure? Well fuckin fix it yourself, this isn't RA tech support.

Almost everything in RetroArch works great. The people "bitching" are not actually bitching because they use RetroArch want something to have better support in RetroArch and the devs of the standalone won't implement them. No, instead they're bitching because they're anti-RetroArch autists who can't figure out how to work anything and want any excuse to hate on RetroArch, even if that's just them being too fucking stupid to figure anything out.

MAME works well in RetroArch and the only complaints I've seen about it is that it doesn't take advantage of all of RetroArch's features and is only slightly better than standalone rather than much better than standalone.

mame chads is there any way I can improve the performance of 3D games like Hard Drivin'?
if I turn throttling off its runs insanely fast so its unplayable and overclocking the CPU within the game settings doesnt do much either.

is there a way to get it to run like 3X better?

Click the "OK" button after you change settings in the properties menu.
Settings you change in the tab menu/Mame GUI (dipswitches, control mapping etc) should be saved automatically.
Sounds like it could be a problem with your OS, reinstall mame and fix your shit or whatever

If the devs composed for it and the game has an MT32 setting, of course. Otherwise I'm using Soundblaster and listening to the music as the devs intended, not on the obscure hardware nobody had becuase "i think it le sounds le better this way!"
If you're doing something stupid like using a custom soundfont or your own modern soundcard's General Midi that's mega gay.
No native MT32 emulation? Mogged by Dosbox-X. And I seriously hope it supports CGA composite and not just ugly CGA for monitors.

They typically get mad at RA & any emu project for modern systems that makes more money than the dumpers, but at the same time, practically no one really knows who they are or how to donate to any of them. There's a nicely sized Patreon button at the top of Libretro's site and a big-ass Donate button on Cemu's site. Where is such info on the mamedev website? These tards cry a big "preservation" game when no one knows who to donate to.

It's too difficult for these retards to just toss a donation link to the people involved with dumping the arcade games on their own front page. It's also way too difficult for them to make a donation page for MAME in order for them to take money and send it The Dumping Union or anyone else they want to themselves.
"This Patreon will be used to fund arcade dumpers."
Not hard, but they're still eternally seething over getting less funds than everyone else.

>yeah, I wanna say its a holdover from the old days where arcade collectors usually called games by their US/Europe titles (though, strangely, Puck-Man is the parent rom instead of Pac-Man on MAME)
The Parent ROM is usually the last official release of World, but not always. Sometimes it's the US, sometimes it's the EU, sometimes it's the JP release. But it's generally the last official release of that version of the game. For example, Street Fighter 2's parent rom is the World 910522 release, which is the latest dated World release. There's a few later JP and US releases, but they use World when possible. Mortal Kombat 2 is another example. The parent ROM for that is rev L3.1, and the only clones later than that are a rev L3.2 EU release, and a L4.2 hack.
This is because the final official release is usually the most polished, with the least amount of bugs remaining. So they use that as the parent ROM. Otherwise you would have people screaming about why do they need to download mk2.zip and mk2l31.zip as well just to play Mortal Kombat II with Noob Saibot.

File: 127 KB, 658x1186, Games - Arcade - MAME Stable Button Remap w. Hardware ID Guide.png [View same] [iqdb] [saucenao] [google]

Get you a stable remap going!
"What's the matter, boy? MAME forgot your buttons again? That sucks!" -"Tired of having to reconfigure your inputs all the time? You're about to lose it and ready to give up? Wait! There's yet hope."

Introducing:
By default MAME instantly resets any button configuration that is being loaded or currently in use if the specified controller is not connected or drops connection while the program is still being executed. Scenarios like this include a wireless controller going into sleep mode, a weak battery giving out during gameplay or a cable pulled too early. But there's a solution: Write your own remap file using a stable controller ID and MAME's devicemap feature today - MAME won't forget your buttons ever again!

How to:
1. Connect your controller of choice.
2. Go to Control Panel > Device Manager > Human Interface Devices > HID Conform Game Controller > Your Controller > Properties > Details > pick Hardware IDs from the drop down menu and note it down.
3. Write a text document like pic related to permanently map your buttons to player 1 using your controller's hardware ID*** (see 2nd post). Save as a cfg-file and name it a single word without any spaces or special characters.
4. Put the new cfg-file into a directory called 'ctrlr' inside your MAME program directory. Create it if it doesn't exist already.
5. Open mame.ini > Under section '# CORE SEARCH PATH OPTIONS' set 'ctrlrpath' to 'ctrlr'. Under section '# CORE INPUT OPTIONS' set 'ctrlr' to the name of your remap cfg-file. Leave out the file extension.
6. Delete 'default.cfg' in the 'cfg' directory of your MAME installation. Your remap is the new default now! This step might not be 100% necessary but it autogenerates a new one anyway if needed.
7. Done

TBC

Anonymous Wed Apr 13 13:10:08 2022 No.8806794

>>8806789 continued

Result:
MAME won't ever forget your buttons again. Doesn't matter if your controller loses connection, goes into sleep mode, the battery dies or you pull the cable too early. It's Plug-and-Play now and will be recognized 100% reliably by its hardware ID.

Advice:
If you are using an 8-button arcade stick the layout illustrated below is highly recommended as it is the most suited default across all machines, offering you the NeoGeo 4-button top row and 6-button layout a la Street Fighter at the same time.

1234
4567

Note that none of this prevents you from making further adjustments to input settings on a per game basis from inside the MAME GUI if necessary. MAME creates a config file for every game you boot inside the cfg directory and those have precedence over the default which we have redefined here.

Documentation
https://docs.mamedev.org/advanced/devicemap.html

***DISCLAIMER (see 1st post)
Controller button names and enumeration as well as hardware ID will vary. Figuring them out is up to the user. It is recommended to create a game specific remap including all physical buttons first and using that as reference. It will be located in the cfg directory.

Your CHDs generally work with every version. So will roms or disk images if you're using one of mame's console/computer emulators (they suck).
Arcade machines are not software! When support for the game improves because a better dump of it's PCB is available, the code for the old crappy dump is removed.
The choices are never be able to play anything until it's 100% perfect by autism standards, or confuse the zoomshits and coolrom tards. I'll go with the second option.

bsnes did for a while. You had to rename your rom to game.rom and put it in a folder that had the name of the game, and it also had a database that refused to run anything that wasn't a verified licensed dump. It was completely retarded and yet there were a bunch of people on here claiming it was some super genius idea that made absolute perfect sense and that every emulator should do it.

It was so bad that someone ended up using the bsnes api to write a frontend that didn't do any of the retarded rom-loading bullshit. That frontend was ssnes which got taken over by downiel and became retroarch.

When you're feeling grateful for the existence of the piece of shit that is retroarch remember to spit in byuu's urn because he's the one whose complete stupidity and selfishness made this happen and now we're all stuck with it.

You do, but you also don't, depending on the game. Of course, depending on what fullset version you're updating from, you'd either have to read through their massive whatsnew.txt files or use a .dat file + CLRMAMEPro on your ROM folder to find out which ones you need to get.

They're the things TOSEC & No-Intro uses to maintain their fullsets. They do have bad dumps in No-Intro sets as well, mainly DS due to "scene" dumpers getting them wrong years ago, and they have to redump them. You'd need to pay close attention to their updates to know which ones they are, and you could check their search tab to see the bad dumps. All the scene dumps were added when they got them, and many Jap ROMs still need to be redone at some point.

It's not surprising that self-important douches like >>8806987 & >>8807029 didn't want to bother answering a simple question.

Read the rest of the thread retard.
Mame ROMS - 70 GB.
Mame CHDs - 500-600 GB for everything and a ton of them don't work
You - downloading over 1 TB of BULLSHIT!
It's roms for every non arcade system mame emulates mostly badly. What the fuck. I don't go to that paradise site, figure it out, not my problem if you're too stupid for archive.

Eh, close, but not quite. Byuu himself created the libsnes API that later evolved into libretro, and IIRC it was before he came up with the game folder bullshit. It was Themaister who then took libsnes and created SSNES as a frontend for it, utilizing byuu's Phoenix launcher, and Squarepusher a.k.a Twinaphex/Daniel then ported it to the PS3. Byuu then changed his mind about the whole thing (something he did all the fucking time) bailed out of the project, and created Higan with all the game folder shit it became notorious for. Themaister and TA then took SSNES and it evolved into RetroArch, and the rest is history.

A whole thread to bitch about arcade emulation and autistic RetroArch vs. MAME shitflinging, when what we should REALLY be making fun of is fucking PCSX2. Over 20 years in development, and it still shits the bed on half the PS2 library unless you use Software mode, at which point you may as well softmod an actual PS2, and even then some of its most titular games have insane requirements.
