Is there a way to force the game to play the animation where rhe player character uses the mega ring everytime you mega evolve instead of just the first time you do it after opening the game?

MAME on 3DS... A Guide anyone?

Hi there good people! I resort to coming and be a bother here on this matter, because I feel at the end of my rope here... Even though I am what you'd call a "power/advanced-user" (well, usually) and what I'm trying to achieve doesn't seem like rocket science (on first glance anyways), which is why I'm so puzzled with the end results (none whatsoever!). So yeah, I'm merely trying to install and use MAME on 3DS, nothing too far-fetched, is it? Installing RetroArch itself was a breeze, and it's working fine with the few cores I've been throwing content at. But when it comes to MAME (whichever version), no can do! And given the amount of tutorial videos one can find on YT about RetroArch generic install on 3DS, I'm really wondering why nothing relevant (that I could find with a "MAME 3DS" string search, that is) seem to exist for something a little bit more MAME specific. Also, I couldn't find a single proper guide across the net about this very topic either (this seems so unlikely to me that I'm still fairly certain I must be searching for it all wrong or sth...). Apart from a few forum posts here and there (which frequently contradict each others, or even state plainly false facts, like there's a MAME 2010 core for 3DS...), nothing methodic, precise and serious to answer what looks like legitimate and casual questions such as: what ROMSet version should one use with MAME 2000/2003/2003-plus cores respectively? WHERE to get it (Archive.org assumedly -- but an actual link pointing to it and thus confirming that ROMSet actually works would still be helpful). So I come here bothering you all, more knowledgeable folks than I, with these questions. (Somehow I'm ready to bet I'm not the only one their answers would profit to many many more...) Here is what I have and have tried so far: - New 3DS XL, System v11.17.0-50E - Hacked with Luma (latest version v13.3.3) - RetroArch latest version (v1.21.0) - tried both the 3dsx (which is what I prefer to use) and CIA versions. - Using ROM files from this exact non-merged set: "MAME_2003-Plus_Reference_Set_2018" (taken from that Archive site, the 32.3G one, not the one uploaded by GrazDamage, although they're supposed to be identical files I guess...) - Upon loading a content (any game from above link gives the same result), the CIA RetroArch just closes itself and brings back the 3DS interface without any notice or anything... (Note: The 3DSX version is currently dead until I restore a default config start file or remove the ROM it is currently automatically pointed to ; for now it crashes at startup...) Now, does anyone have suggestions, advices, link(s), pointers, or generally any kind of info that could help me actually playing arcade games on the console (since apparently, it seems to be technically feasible, right?... ;-))? Whatever help will mean a lot! Thank you all in advance... (Needless to say, feel free to ask any other relevant technical info I may have overlooked to give above).
