Unfortunately, it's common for MAMEUI to refuse to detect your games. The arcade roms that are readily available in rom sites work on these 'old' arcade emulators. I classify it as an advanced emulator, so I do not recommend it for newcomers and casual gamers (this site's audience).Īs mentioned above, my recommendation is to use RetroArch or MAMEUI instead of the latest MAME. Additionally, the latest MAME is not user-friendly at all. The latest version of FinalBurn Alpha shares the same complications.

If you download a bunch of roms from a random rom site, they won't work with the latest MAME. The source of this problem is the original and latest version of MAME. So why is arcade emulation so complicated? We don't need to fuss with multiple emulators to get Super Nintendo games to work. So why not just use the original and latest version of MAME, and not bother using anything else? With Super Nintendo, for example, most of us just use Snes9x. I know this can be confusing for newcomers.
