      @IOIIOOO Well where does this imame4all_gamelist.txt file come from ? And a game can be in a specific mame romset and still not be in a working state.
      Anyway the 0.78 has much more games supported.

      Regarding your bios files everything seems in order

        @voljega It comes from /recalbox/share/roms/mame/clrmamepro/imame4all_gamelist.txt as referenced in the "Advanced Arcade on Recalbox" wiki article at https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Advanced-Arcade-on-Recalbox-(EN)

        I've tried these same specific ROMs from the 0.78 set and they don't work. That's why I'm working with iMame4All and the Mame0.37b5Roms set as referenced in the wiki article above.

          @IOIIOOO if the 0.78 Games are not working on your PI, you definately have the wrong roms.. I myself are using the 0.78 and about 80% of the Games are working just fine. Please get the Mame2003 0.78 DAT, or the Imame4All 0.37b5 DAT and a tool like clrmamepro, or ROMulus and make yourself familiar with ROM management. After you verified the Roms you own with the DAT File(s) and they still don't work, we'll have a take a deeper look into the problem. OK? 🙂

            @Nachtgarm The 0.78 ROMs from the compatible list ARE working. It's the iMame4All roms that are not.

            And I have done a scan of these using clrmamepro against the iMame4All 0.37b5 DAT. It shows that I am missing none of the expected ROMs.

              @IOIIOOO Ok. I must've overread that fact. Sorry, for that.
              So... if the 0.78 is running, why do you want to use the 0.37 anyway?

                @Nachtgarm Because several "classic" (i.e. older) games don't seem to want to run with 0.78. The original Pac Man, Space Invaders and Rampage are three specifically I am working on.

                On https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Advanced-Arcade-on-Recalbox-(EN) it says:

                "imame4all is recommended for older games that does not run in piFBA"

                So I assumed it's because the games are too old for more current emulators? Maybe I'm wrong?

                  I'm using the 0.78 Mame Set with the Mame emulator (mame) and it's standard settings.

                  and Space Invaders (invaders.zip - MD5 9deb5c19958860d5b70e4560d2915611 ) is running just fine.

                  Which Versions of the games are you trying to run? Zip-Name?

                    I was able to get invaders.zip to run, but with no color or sound.

                    I have tried:

                    rampage.zip
                    rampage2.zip (the 1.2 version of Rampage)
                    pacmanm.zip (midway pacman)
                    sicv.zip (color space invaders)

                    With no success.

                      @IOIIOOO Sorry, but I wasn't able to test it further yet. I'll look into that today, most likely.

                        Finally, I was able to test all games. My results are:

                        Pac-Man (Midway), clone of PuckMan (Japan set 1) is running just fine
                        MD5: b55d6c49910c0011907dcbb78f21eaae
                        File: pacman.zip

                        Space Invaders has no sound, because it needs samples, which will be supported soon
                        MD5: 9deb5c19958860d5b70e4560d2915611 (without samples)
                        File: invaders.zip

                        Space Invaders (CV Version) is not running on my Pi and if, it would need samples, too (It runs ok on my PC, minor sound issues)
                        MD5: 72ff4d8d614717e6633c5bfceb0c5b4b (without samples)
                        File: sicv.zip

                        Rampage (Rev 2, 8/4/86) (original) is not running on my PI, nor is it running "good" on my PC (no sound)
                        File: rampage2.zip

                        Rampage (Rev 3, 8/27/86) (clone of Rev 2, 8/4/86) is not running on my PI, but it's running "ok" on my PC (sound probs and low framerate)
                        File: rampage.zip

                        I have tested all games in all available versions from sets 0.78, 0.177 and 0.37bb, but decided to write down only the essential ones

                            Thanks for the heads up @acris, I confused the releases for a moment.

                                @stevex59 At this point I am giving up on getting Rampage working on my Pi3 Recalbox. Doesn't seem to be good ROMs out there. I have the original invaders.zip now working with samples, but not color. Got a pacman working.
