Reply To: Romset for Mame and RetroPie

[Floob]

Well as long as the roms are from that distribution (0.37b5) and you are using RetroPie 2.3 you should be good to go.
I notice that RetroPie 2.3 has Mame4all-pi as the default emulator for Mame as opposed to RetroArch or other.

You can confirm what is loading by checking the es_systems.cfg file.
/etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

Does your mame4all-pi directory look like this?
/opt/retropie/emulators/mame4all-pi

(You can output this with: sudo tree mame4all-pi/ –charset X -d -o output.txt)
If you have to install tree, it is:
sudo apt-get install tree
