      Hi all,
      After spending months setting up my Recalbox 4.02 on a 64gb microsd card, I was thinking of trying out the unstable 4.1 release with my games going on a 128gb usb stick (so I can try the large file Dreamcast and PSP games).

      But, before I start, I'm reading conflicting posts as to what the default emulator and Rom set is for MAME in 4.1
      I've done a lot of work with my MAME Roms, removing all duplicates etc, so does 4.1 use the same lr-mame2003 as default, with the same 0.78 Romset?
      I don't wish to lose all my hard work.....
      Many thanks in advance.

                @kelv those games won't work, 3D games on Mame are software emulated, so very slow even on a correct pc, you can forget it on pi.

                Try them on psx it's the best solution and they are anyway more nicely rendered than on mame

                  @voljega THX you are right that the workaround is to use PSX however I like to play the original one πŸ™‚ .BTW, I downloaded the romset 0.106 and even the games are not working fine so I will stick to the lr-mame2003. Besides I think in the future the one that will be supported will be lr-mame 2010 or any other superior. THX again

                    don't forget to switch emulator and core in options emulators.

                    Emulationstation menu > advanced parameters > parameters emulators >

                    • emulator : advance mame
                    • core : advance mame

                      @acris I only changed emulator not the core... πŸ™‚ Thx for the hint. I will change the core too but I will need to check that after scrapping all the mame2003 games (1500 remaining)

                          @acris oh I had them in a subfolder 😞 But If I don't have them in a subfolder, they will be overlaped with the mame2003 ones and that's and issue 😞 THX for letting me know

                              yes, you do it.
                              If you change advance mame folder, you need to change for each update.
