Arcadia ROM compatibility with RPi3

Post by triggerhappy » Mon Nov 28, 2022 12:51 am

Has anyone had any success getting Arcadia Systems ROMs running on a RPi3?

These arcade games (16 parent ROMs in total, all beginning with the prefix 'AR_') ran on the 'Super Select System' which was effectively a modified Amiga rig.

I've tried running some of these games under AdvMAME and MAME172 on my ARPiCADE 3.X machine, but they run very slowly with badly distorted audio, if they run at all.

Guessing the RPi3 just isn't powerful enough, although that strikes me as kinda weird, considering how primitive these games look compared to many other more graphically sophisticated games which the RPi3 handles easily. Just thought I'd check to see if anyone else has been able to get these ROMs to work.
