What I hope people will use this for is a starting point for an arcade collection that runs well on an overclocked RPi3B or stock RPi3B+. I don't plan to update this as I have other things to attend to, but I hope it saves someone some time. This is an advanced custom ROM Set building guide that assumes you have the various ROM Sets this requires, and have said ROM Sets in a Non-Merged state with the BIOS included in each ZIP. It has Arcade Manager CSV lists and Windows batch files to largely avoid the constant change of arcade ROMs, and so that everyone who uses this isn't making outdated ROM Sets. The ROM Set that you will make will consist of ROMs from FBA (v0.2.97.44 as of this post), MAME 2003 Plus, and MAME 2010 that have been tested to run full speed and emulate well on an overclocked RPi3B.

Well the general FBA ones were actually tested under FBA v0.2.97.43 while the Neo Geo and CPS-1/2/3 were tested somewhere between FBA v0.2.97.38 and FBA v0.2.97.42. Games emulated with FBA were only given a blind first pass (no FPS monitoring), while games emulated with MAME 2003 Plus and MAME 2010 were given a second pass with FPS monitoring.

Some games may run imperfectly, though hopefully everything bad or unplayable was removed. There is generally only one copy of each game, and the preference of region is USA>Europe>Japan. Games in the Casino, Erotic, Mahjong, and Quiz genres are not included, nor are there any games that require more than a single eight-way input, six gameplay buttons, one Start button, and one Coin button. The following is the overclock used for testing these games. Please do your own stability testing and do not take it for fact that it will be stable on your RPi3B.
Arm_freq=1350 core_freq=550 over_voltage=6 A stock RPi3B+ should run most of these games without much issue, though not overclocking the core_freq may be an issue. If you are on a stock RPi3B, you'll have to either do some trial and error or learn how to overclock your RPi3B: I advise the latter after all the time it took me to make this collection. Download Link: Spreadsheet: Use this to see what is in the ROM Set without having to delve into the archive itself. Known Problems • All games were tested minimally. • All games running under FBA were only tested once without any FPS monitoring. • Included 'gamelist.xml' has incorrect info here and there outside of the names (probably) all being fine (barring some Japan games inconsistently having English translations names or English localization names).
Credits • Cosmo0 for • ArcadeControls Community for their game list. Changelog v1.0 - Initial Release (Limited Released) v1.1 - Tidied things up for a release here on the RetroPie Forum. Added personal gamelist and images to archive. V1.2 - Changed Double Dragon, Final Fight, Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, and OutRun to MAME 2003 Plus for the optional CD-soundtrack samples.
Added some info on the optional CD-soundtrack samples. Added Tempest to FBA (since controls can be tweaked in RetroArch). Added Undercover Cops: Alpha Renewal to MAME 2003 Plus. V1.3 - Fixed Magical Drop Plus image path in gamelist.xml and added title screenshot. V1.4 - Made Arcade Manager CSV lists so that those on Mac and Linux can sort their ROMs as well. Added Neo Geo console ROM Set creation for the heck of it.
Added CLRMAMEPRO guide for the heck of it. I looked with more detail and it seems that, other than the roms recently added to Mame2003-plus, all the missing titles use 'special controls' in their original cabinet, but most of them can be played via standard buttons and 8-way joystick: Out run (and racing games in general), After burner, Space Harrier, the vector games I mentioned (Tempest uses a Spinner, but can be played with joystick, the Star Wars trilogy games used a flight joy, but can also be played with a joystick), etc. I also wonder whether you may interested in adding lightgun games, such as Operation Wolf, which can also be played via joystick, air mouse or standard mouse.
I can't say I remember testing it, but the only emulator it is available in out of my chosen three is MAME 2010 with the following info on its emulation state. Driver status='imperfect' emulation='good' color='good' sound='imperfect' graphic='imperfect' This collection is meant to be used as a starting point.
So, if you find anything missing, you'll want to look up their status in any of the emulators I decided on or possibly expand your choices by adding more emulators. Keep in mind that FBA and MAME 2003 Plus are active and add (or remove in FBA's case if the emulation isn't working) games frequently so that's another reason I say this collection should be used as a starting point. Looking at the game from just videos, I'd hazard a guess it will require too much processing power in MAME. Monster Rancher Hop-A-Bout on the PSX will probably be your best bet for a version of that game that runs well on a Pi, though I'm certain I've never tried it on that system. Eh, by the time that was implemented, I was two months into this arcade project and wasn't going to change my stance on choosing FBA as my main emulator for its new and fast emulation of games. That, and FBA was my 'If it looks, sounds, and controls well enough then I'm done testing the game, with some reference to videos whenever I noticed things seemed extremely wrong.' MAME 2003 Plus and MAME 2010 were my 'I'm checking the FPS for every game and referring to videos whenever something doesn't seem right on top of casually judging them by their look, sound, and controls.'
