What happened to beat em' ups?

Better to just get a Capcom compilation and play the emulated arcade original, in my opinion.

That's true.

Or just MAME that shit.

[Tanooki]

Isn't MAME still a headache in a half since they have no consideration of the end user consistently renaming and swapping working ROM set files. They did this for a good 10+ years or so as development went along and it drove people insane having to re-download massive ROM sets to get them all or what they needed out of it.

[Sarge]

Nah, MAME is pretty easy now. Most of the ROM sets you find are already put together for the most recent releases anyhow, so it's going to be rare to find something that doesn't work. I know everything I've... obtained has worked just fine in MAMEUI.

[Xeogred]

Yeah I never liked emulating MAME stuff much in the past, but it's been awhile. edgeemu.net has been my usual source thesedays.

Yes a complete very large download of all ROMs that I have seen. But what if you want just specific stuff? I couldn't find a modern set of Neo Geo stuff which is what it looks like I need so RetroArch will stop being a bitch about running my arcade cartridges.

I get my individual ROMs from Emuparadise. I've had no issues with the stuff I've downloaded there.

The main problem with MAME ROMs is that they set the American/World versions as parent ROMs which leads to a lot of people playing broken, credit-muncher versions of games instead of the better balanced originals.

Same here and none of them like retroarch. Got over 20 I've tried for the carts I have and not one of them will load.

[isiolia]

Other than the CRC check for that, Neo Geo stuff usually needs the BIOS ROMs as well, offhand.

Possible that they're also in a compressed format that it doesn't like?

[Sarge]

Interesting. Of course, I don't do a whole lot of emulation in RetroArch unless I have to. The UI leaves a lot to be desired, for one, and I'm pretty set in my ways on a lot of my emulators.

(In fact, I think my phone is the only place I really use it, and I don't emulate much there, either.)
