Most arcade games from the 1970s and 1980s will probably run just fine in FinalBurn Neo or the newest version of MAME while some games from the 1990s and later won't. There is always a trade-off between accuracy and speed (and a Raspberry Pi has fairly weak hardware compared to a mid-range computer), which is why there are so many arcade cores in RetroArch. This is post I made about the PSC, but it also applies to the RPi.įrom a technical standpoint, the newest version of MAME will almost always be the best choice for the most accurate arcade emulation.
