Was hoping to get some recommendations on a MAME emulator and how to get it up and running. I've got SDLMame and RetroArch but I'm having trouble getting either to locate ROMs either in my SD card or USB Drive. Any help configuring things would be appreciated. If you guys could recommend particular light games that you like and know work well that would be even more awesome. Yesterday I basically just downloaded every ROM (and CHD file) from this top 15 list http://www.cbr.com/gun-it-the-best-light-gun-arcade-games-ranked/

I don't know if I need other bios files added to run them and I don't know if the Wii can handle some of the games with huge CHD files like Carnevil or Star Trek Voyager.

Thanks for the help!

There are many wothwhile lightgun games on the Wii, official releases or even retro compilations. Dozens, in fact, it should cover a lot. Gunblade, HotD 2&3, Ghost Squetc.Wild West Guns, Reload, the two R.E. games ets etc. Lots of good stuff.

As for MAME stuff, only SDLMame has IR support and i have managed to get Duckhunt and other NES arcade games to work on it. Retroarch FBa core supports many more but it does not recognize IR input so... Also, Lone Wolf by Taito, a personal old favorite runs great on SDLMame. More than that,SNES9XGX, FCEU GX and Genesis Plus GX emus all support IR for those systems' lightgun games

I've actually been trying to get the IR working on my Wii in Mame/Retroarch for arcade games. Did you have to do any kind of setup? Was Lone Wolf the only arcade rom you got to work? I've tried Terminator 2 and a few others but no luck. Please help! Trying to get my virtual arcade set up and this would be so great!!

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Has he had seizures before?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    apparently stress can cause seizures, my brother had one during a test once
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
