There are a giant number of front-ends for MAME, ranging from barebones to full featured and paid-for. That is to say: There is no such thing as an arcade emulator that doesn't require some work and effort to get working the way you want it. In response to your updated edit, what you're looking for doesn't exist. Trial and error is the only way to determine if your roms are valid if you don't make use of a rom scanning tool such as ClrMamePro. If you can find a very recent set, you can simply cherry-pick the games you're interested in. You are not required to possess the entire collection of MAME roms. That's not a hard and fast rule, but it generally tends to be the case. To answer your question about rom sets, it's true: the older a rom set is, the less likely the roms are going to be compatible with the latest version of MAME. Please use MAME independently of RetroArch. MAME cores for RA are not maintained, supported, or endorsed by the MAME dev team. However, that is a better discussion for r/emulation or r/RetroArch because MAME should absolutely not be played through RetroArch. Be prepared to put in some work setting it up to your liking, but once you've configured it, you rarely have to mess with it again. ![]() With respect to a similar product to Open Emu, RetroArch is about the closest you're going to get. ![]() There's two separate questions here to unpack. I know in the past older ROM sets would sometimes have weird issues and need files renamed and stuff, but that was like 10+ years ago so who knows how it is now. Lastly, are most MAME emulators compatible with older ROM sets? I have a ROM set that has all the games I want to play and the newer ones take up a lot more hard drive space, so I'd like to just use what I have if possible. I'd like decent emulation accuracy, but good gameplay and consistent framerates are more important than perfect 1:1 accuracy.įree is preferred, but I'd be willing to pay if it's really nice and it seems likely it will continue getting support for years to come. as OpenEMU could only really play conventional joystick+button style games. Also preferably something that can handle things like steering wheels/pedals, etc. I just want something where I can dump my ROMs (common retro consoles like NES, SNES, and Genesis and MAME) and they'll show up in a list and easily map a controller and go. Progress Report July 2017 July 19th, 2017Īfter a slow period at the beginning of the year, the pace has started picking up the past few months on redream's development.Basically, I know there are a ton of really sophisticated, flashy, and configurable emulators, but I just don't want to spend days setting this thing up.It's been 6 long months since our last status update, but for good reason - we've been hard at work on plenty of new features, improvements and optimizations that we'd like to talk about today. Progress Report January 2018 January 30th, 2018.Improving Audio / Video Synchronization with the "Multi Sync" July 21st, 2018Įarlier this month v1.2.3 was released, introducing a major change to our audio / video synchronization that I'm excited to talk about today.During this time, many quality of life features have been implemented to make the emulator easier and more enjoyable to use, graphics have taken another step forward, and our audio emulation has finally reached a mature point where there are features yet to be implemented, but what's implemented now works great. Last week we released our newest stable build, version 1.2.6 marking 6 months since our last progress report. Progress Report August 2018 August 13th, 2018. ![]() The plan at the time was to release it within 2 weeks, but other priorities came up and getting the Pi release to production quality was put on hold.
