Copy the TORRENT link shown on the page and use that with torrent-cli. The non-merged set is the one that will work with Emulation Station.įor the Mame 2003 set (Romset 0.78, about 2 GB) the easiest way to download is in linux using the linux command line program “transmission-cli” which will download torrent files. The first test I did was to download the Rom Set for Mame 2003. To find a particular game and what RomSet it is in see here or here to download the entire lists of games for a particular Romset. The Rom Sets for each Mame Emulator are listed here at the Mame Retro Pie Wiki. What does that mean ? Well, apparently various people have collected hundreds or even thousands of roms for a particular Mame version, customized them for that particular version of Mame, and packaged them into a “Rom Set”. You need to install the correct “Romset version” of the Rom for each emulator. Not any Mame rom will play in any Mame emulator. For example, there is “mame4all”, “Mame 2000”, “Mame 2003 Libretto”, “Advance Mame”, etc. What I discovered was that there are several different Mame emulators packaged with Retro Pie. After installing Retro Pie according to the instructions, adding some themes (I settled on Cabsnazzy) and a set of Xbox 360 controllers, I downloaded some individual sample Roms to test the Mame emulator, an emulator that plays old arcade type games.
