  • Hi Shea,
    I have downloaded your PiMAME 0.6 Beta 5 and have been impressed with the increase performance of AdvanceMAME. I can now play Street fighter II at full speed on a Model B 256. I am going to test the same setup on a Model B 512 with a Sandisk Ultra 8Gb card rather than Standard Sandisk 8Gb card to see if this also improves performance for games that are still a little slow such as NBA Hangtime.

    I have started testing / trying NeoGeo and PCSX_ReARMed but not having any luck yet. I realise you can not help people to find games but could you write an updated list of instructions for people to get started using the PiMAME 0.6 Beta 5. ie

    I have tried putting some NeoGeo roms into the /home/pi/roms folder and they are visible in the game list in Neo Geo but when I try to open them i get the following error:
    ERROR!
    Gngeo Couldn't init GAMENAME:
    Parent roms//GAMENAME.zip not found
    Maybe the romset you're using is too old

    I also tried putting a full .rar game file into the /home/pi/emulators/pcsx_rearmed/bios folder. I have no idea if this is the correct place and if it needs to be unzipped first but could find any instructions on your site. When I load the PCSX emulator I get the following error:

    You don't seem to have copied any BIOS files to bios/
    while many games....

    Thanks for all the work you have done so far.
