Note: Oric / Atmos ROMs are fully supported for browsing, inspection, and analysis. However, there is no standard libretro core available, so launching via RetroArch is not supported for this system.
Note: Tiger Game Com ROMs are fully supported for browsing, inspection, and analysis. However, there is no standard libretro core available, so launching via RetroArch is not supported for this system.
Note (Neo Geo AES/MVS): The
geolithcore supports both Neo Geo AES (home console) and MVS (arcade) modes. Using the “AES” BIOS will start games in their console (home) versions. Using the “NEOGEO” (Universe BIOS or standard MVS) BIOS will boot games in their arcade versions.
Standalone MAME
In addition to the RetroArch mame2003_plus core, Arcade ROMs can be launched with a standalone MAME installation. Configure the MAME executable path in Settings → MAME Integration.
| System | Standalone MAME Support |
|---|---|
| Arcade | ✔ Supported |
MAME is launched with -rompath <directory> <romname>, where <romname> is the ROM set name (ZIP file name without extension). All other systems continue to use RetroArch for launching.
