 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. 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.

-## General MAME Principles+MAME is a fantastic piece of software, that evolved from being a **M**ulti **A**rcade **M**achine **E**mulator into a [[https://www.mamedev.org/|framework whose goal is to emulate as many vintage computer systems as possible]]. 
  
-There are only two main principles to know to get a good grasp of how to use MAME on your recalbox: Romsets and BIOS/driver files+MAME's focus is emulation accuracy, rather than performance. As a result, it emulates **a lot** of gaming systems, but often times, the performance is better when you use other cores, like FBNeo or dedicated Naomi or Atomiswave emulators.
  
-### Romsets+===== General MAME principles =====  
  
-A romset is a set of all the different game roms emulated by a MAME version.  +There are only two main principles to know to get a good grasp of how to use MAME on your Batocera system: Romsets and BIOS/driver files 
 +\\  
 +\\  
 +=== What is a romset === 
 + 
 +A romset is a set of all the different game roms emulated by a MAME version.\\   
 A 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. As you can guess, in most cases we will discard all clone roms and only used the main (or parent) ones. A 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. As you can guess, in most cases we will discard all clone roms and only used the main (or parent) ones.
  
 Most of the code used to make those game roms playable is included in the MAME emulator. 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. Most of the code used to make those game roms playable is included in the MAME emulator.

-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. 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**.+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.\\  
 +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**.
  
----+For 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**. 
 + 
 +This is because with each new versions, MAME can take new ROM dumps as their reference for emulators. A ROM dump that worked with an earlier version of MAME might not work with a recent version any longer. \\  
 +So each version of MAME has its specific romset, see the table in Advanced section for a full list. 
 + 
 +\\  
 +=== Types of romsets ===
  
 In addition to having a version number, romsets can be found in three different flavours : In addition to having a version number, romsets can be found in three different flavours :
  
-* **Non-merged**: All ROMs can be used standalone because each zip contains all the files needed to run that game, including any files from 'parent ROMs'. This is the recommended format. +  * **Non-merged**: All ROMs can be used standalone because each zip contains all the files needed to run that game, including any files from 'parent ROMs'. This is the recommended format.\\  
-* **Split**: Some ROMS that are considered clones, translations, or bootlegs also require a "parent ROM" to run. The parent ROM is often the first or most common variant of a game. In some cases the parent is not the most popular or best working version of the game, however. For example, in a Split set pacman.zip (a clone), will not work without puckman.zip (its parent). +  * **Split**: Some ROMS that are considered clones, translations, or bootlegs also require a "parent ROM" to run.

 +\\ 
 +=== BIOS / Drivers ===
  
----+Some of the game roms from a romset may additionaly need BIOS files, the most well known case beeing neogeo games.\\  
 +Let's use that as an example : If you want to use neogeo games, you'll have to copy the needed bios/driver file (in that case _neogeo.zip_) in the same folder as the game.\\  
 +That's all !
  
-For 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.+Off course if you use different subfolders for your games (genre subfolders or hardware type subfolders for instance) you'll have to copy the BIOS file in every folder containing games which may need it.\\  
 +**Given that they are pretty small files, it's better to copy them all in each of your subfolders**.
  
- +Where do i find the BIOS files do you say ? Well it's very simple : they are included in your romset !\\

 So if a game doesn't launch and goes back right away to the Emulation Station screen, just try to find the relevant BIOS file and copy it in the game folder. So if a game doesn't launch and goes back right away to the Emulation Station screen, just try to find the relevant BIOS file and copy it in the game folder.

 +=== Default emulators === 
 +There are several arcade emulators included in Batocera, but just using the default one will be enough for running the majority of games on your Raspberry Pi. 
 +For pi3, those two systems are :
  
-As this page's 'Arcade Emulators' section explainsit, there are several arcade emulators included in Batocera.   +  * Mame 2003Plus 
-Just using two of them will be enough for running the majority of games on your Raspberry Pi.+    * __mame/romset version :__ 0.78Plus 
 +    * __roms folder :__ mame
  
-Those two systems are :+  * FBNeo 
 +    * FBNeo is kind of an alternative version of MAME (emulating less arcade machines), but it follows exactly the same principles which I just explained 
 +    * __FBNeo romset version :__ FBNeo 0.2.97.44 this corresponds to MAME 0.187 more or less but not entirely, once again it's better to use the FBNeo 0.2.97.44 romset  
 +    * __roms folder :__ fbneo
  
-* Mame +Now some games will only work on Batocera with Mame and some others only with FBNeo.
-  * _mame/romset version :_ 0.78 +
-  * _roms folder :_ mame+
  
-* FBNeo +For PC, the default emulator is regular latest stable mame, available at the time of release

-##### Neogeo system     +=== Highscores  === 
-The Neogeo  system is not an emulator itself. You need to configure the core to use in [recalbox.conf](https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/recalbox.conf-%28EN%29). This will allow you to visually separate the NeoGeo games from the other arcade games, they will appear as a dedicated system in Emulation Station+Highscores can be tracked and kept throughthe use of `highscore.dat` which mus be in the right version for each emulator / emulator version, they can be found or must be placed here : 
 +  * For FBNeo : ''/userdata/bios/fbneo'' 
 +  * For mame2003plus : ''/userdata/saves/mame/mame2003-plus/hi'' 
 +  * For mame2010: ''/userdata/saves/mame/mame2010/hi'' 
 +  * For mame: see temporary solution in following [[https://forum.batocera.org/d/4083-how-to-save-hi-scores-in-mame-0220-solution-i-guess|post]]
