The RA cores are very good but I find stand alone Mame better. Newer versions are more accurate and have more games, it's up to the end user if that matters or not. That all depends on what you want but there is some newer stuff in the later versions that is extremely good. Wow, you said a lot of stuff here so i'll pick out a couple of things that stuck out to me.Ī full set is not 233GB unless you get into the CHDs as well or use the Non Merged set which is pointless if you are using the full set. There just doesn't seem to be much out there on these topics and I hope others are helped by your answers. I also have Final Burn Neo loaded in LB too so if there really is anything missing or not as polished in mame2003, maybe its there in FBN?Īfter all this, mame2003 seems like a win-win but is it really? Are the other mame cores, mame2010, mame2015, mame2016 any better? mame2003 is occasionally updated but I did use the update instructions from the libretro site which was quite easy. When I load the mame_libretro core, it has 0.219 in parentheses afterward. I don't have the time for to keep updating the rom set. As far as the latest mame core (mame_libretro) versus actual MAME, it seems better in retroarch but if it keeps getting updated, it seems like I have to keep my rom set updated like having to get the 0.219 set. Does the same hold true for for the other mame2xxx cores/sets? Just what games or fixed games are missing from mame2003? mame2003 is still actively developed for and many games are being fixed or backported from newer mame versions. I'm thinking they are not much different than mame2003. There are the mame2010, mame2015, mame2016 cores but I don't see much documentation about them. many mame2003 games work on mini systems and most on raspberry pi (I don't have one but might have the time now with the quarantine.) mame2003 is using the old 0.78 mame set yes, maybe not "accurate" enough for purist but will gamers miss much? Space is not an issue but MAME 0217 comes with so many clones per game, many will never see the light of day. Also, the mame2003 set doesn't include all the extra, mostly unneeded clones. mame2003 comes in at about 2700 with clones as additional apps and same skip settings. Using Launchbox importing and its ability to export games, I imported everything with everything skipped except mature games and to add all games as individual apps, exported/copied the results which came down to 233gb, then imported that set with the same skip settings and clones as additional apps. I had compiled a list from various sources of the best MAME games, over 800 and although I didn't get much past B, every game on the list is available in the mame2003. I didn't have to setup any controls with my XBOX One controller. I do have the full set of MAME 0.217 at a whooping 768GB in full non-merged form for the straight up libretro mame core. I did try the mame2003 core on my PC and it really works nice out of the box. I've recently discovered mame2003, especially to put on a Genesis Mini and I've tried it on my PC. I've had a set before but I've never been crazy with the MAME emulator.
