Some games from another romset may work with your version but the only way to be sure that the most games are working is to use only a MAME version in conjunction with the romset of the same version.įor recent versions (such as the one used by FBNeo, see below) there are less and less modifications of game roms, so it is sometime possible to use an older set and still have most of the games playable, but once again : the only way to be sure that the most games are working is to use only a MAME version in conjunction with the romset of the same version. To keep it simple: if you use a certain MAME emulator, say version 0.78, you also have to get your hands on and use the 0.78 version of the romset. Sadly this means that there is a strong and close relationship between a MAME version and the game roms versions : When MAME releases a new version, game roms may need to be updated to fit to the new emulator version.

As you can guess, in most cases we will discard all clone roms and only used the main (or parent) ones. As a result, it emulates a lot of gaming systems, but often times, the performance is better when you use other specialized cores, like FBNeo or dedicated Naomi or Atomiswave emulators.Ī romset is a set of all the different game roms emulated by a MAME version.Ī romset contains parent game roms wich are roms corresponding to the 'main' version of a game and clone game roms which are 'alternative' versions of a parent rom. MAME's focus is emulation accuracy, rather than performance. MAME is a fantastic piece of software, that evolved from being a Multi Arcade Machine Emulator into a framework whose goal is to emulate as many vintage computer systems as possible. It is no small feat and this is why MAME is so complicated to use. That's why MAME has been invented: MAME is kind of a meta-emulator, it brings all the different emulated hardwares of arcade machines into one system, making it simpler for the user to play arcade games without any knowledge of the underlying arcade machine on which the games are launched. Imagine you want to play 5 different arcade games, you could have to use 5 different hardware emulators, whereas playing 5 different SNES games will only need the one and only SNES emulator. This page is dedicated to beginners for helping them to easily play arcade games on Batocera.Īrcade has long been the most complicated of emulations due to its very own nature: arcade machines don't all use the same hardware, so they all have to be emulated independently.
