Now you need to make sure these config files are set up for Astrocade and Creativision and not Arcadia. If you don't have the others, you can make them. See if you have a /arcadia a /astrocde, and a /crvision.īy default, the install should have set up at least /opt/retropie/configs/arcadia for you. Check that you have the emulator config files.opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ astrocde %ROM%īe sure to use the same names ('arcadia' 'astrocade' 'crvision') here as in your theme. If one is missing, insert the relevant block. Search for 'arcadia,' 'astrocde' and 'crvision.' Type sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg.Sudo cp /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_ Make sure you have the systems in es_systems.cfg. The set that worked for me is the 'MESS 0.151 Software List ROMs.' For example, you need 3dbowl.zip and not 3dbowl.bin or 3dBowling.bin or 3d Bowling (USA).zip. Be sure you have a set that is named according to the MESS conventions. Put the roms in the relevant roms folder. They go in ~/RetroPie/BIOS/mame/hash which you may need to create. These go in the roms folders for each machine, e.g. Place the needed BIOSes in the /roms folders.

Don't bother trying lr-mess2016 it will not work if you follow these instructions.Ĭreate the relevant ROM directories if they aren't there already. There's a binary install under the experimental menu that is quite fast, or a source compile that takes ages.

Here's the step by step, most of which will likely work for any other system you want to emulate in lr-mess. All three of these seem to run at perfect or near perfect speed in lr-mess on a Pi 3.
