So in the past the raspberry pi b+ was limited to mame4all which uses an ancient romset 0.37b5 its was the only version of mame that could run smoothly on the 700Mhz chip Advmame is also available but its really slow and laggy on most games unless you over clock the hell out if. and it to also uses and old romset 0.106. which is okay... but obviously the latest mame includes bug fixes and better emulation and new features. cant even -listxml for rom management tools...
The new raspberry pi 2 has come out. 900Mhz quad core. 1G ram 6 times faster than the previous model.
My question is how well would mame run on this? How do you port a version of mame optimised for the rpi2? Does mame support multicores?
