Hello.

I purchased the RaspberryJAMMA recently and had some mail contact with you through email.
Maybe it's better to ask my questions here.

I now have purchased the pi4 4gb. Added the image and the fixes.

Now I have some issues.
All my fba roms don't work but on my pi3 they run fine. (FB Alpha v0.2.97.39 Non-Merged)
When I open one nothing happens ands stays in the attract menu.

Where do I put Atomiswave games? I put one in the noami folder (dolphin.zip) and see it in the menu but also nothing happens when I open it.

Somebody tried Deathsmiles? I put it in the mame215 folder. But runs very crappy. Don't know if this is rom related or the pi4 can't handle the game.

Mame106 games run in a squished picture. Tried to change to 240p mode and low res mode but picture stays squished.

Not sure with the FBA roms, maybe a missing bios?

Atomiswave should work in naomi folder, maybe a rom issue? Pretty sure I've had Dolphin Blue running before, I can check if you need me to.

Deathsmiles runs in 174 or 172 pretty well, maybe not perfect but very playable. Best with the Pi4 overclocked. The other newer CAVE games seem a bit harder to run than Deathsmiles, but it varys.

Yeah MAME106, AdvMAME isn't great on 1920x240 (on Pi4) unfortunately, it will be setup to use 480i in the next release if I can't find a better solution... honestly though for most stuff there's newer versions of MAME that will run games fine on Pi4. The only exception I've found is SEGA STV (while not perfect emulation in 106) seems more playable in AdvMAME than elsewhere, although AdvMAME is a bit buggy for STV anyway...

Thanks will try it.

But FBA is strange. Not one game is working and on my pi3 with 3.x it works great.
I also have for example the neogeo.zip in the fba folder but it's not working.

Something wrong with a launcher file or something else?

tried CPS3 (SF3 - 3rd) in both 172 and 174 but got a hard freeze in both, my roms may be bad... I don't have the chds so have to use the nocd versions... not sure but it may be the first time I've seen 172 hard freeze the system.
Yeah tried the chd's in 172 and had it freeze as well....I need to get the FBA set

Yes. the 4.xx branch is for Pi4. I'm not sure if it will work on an 8gig model as I don't have one but 1, 2 and 4 gig models should work. It's not (yet) as fully featured as the ARpiCADE 3.xx branch.
