Yes, Yes and yes.

The problem is you are not using the correct command line for a custom config in Retroarch. To use a custom config you need the "-c "config\[custom config name here]" command. So it should look like this:

 

What is the custom config of Finalburn?

Just separate the roms into unique platforms and tell each platform to use the correct Retroarch core. That's all you need to do. You don't even need a separate emulator. Just updated the associated platforms tab in your Retroarch manage emulators screen to include the Arcade and SNK Neo Geo MVS (or whatever you call it) platforms and assign the cores. Just make sure the names you enter in the associated platforms field matches exactly how you named the platform. So the associated platforms tab of your Retroarch would have lines looking something like this:

 

 

NO NO and NO , not work

I fully understand the command line. Now explain to me how I can differentiate the Arcade games (traditional) from MVS games, and start the Arcade games with the COre of MAME, and the MVS games with the core of Final Burn

can't you just go into RA change the controller to how you want and set a per core override that will apply to just any games you launch with fba core

the problem is that the Arcade and SNK AES games are unified

[Mame Core and FinalBurn COMBO in retroarch]

Well , The only solution is to use the command line, otherwise, no solution works . 

There are about 150 MVS games, and changing them all by hand is not a good thing.
That's why I asked Jason for the option to change the group command line

[Mame Core and FinalBurn COMBO in retroarch]

 

I think I understood a possible solution, later I experiment and let you know.

[Mame Core and FinalBurn COMBO in retroarch]

I finally found an ideal solution to best use the MAME 0.195 Retroarch Core with all the games , 
However, it remains the last problem to be fixed, namely: All games accept the commands that mainly imposed in retroarch, except for the MVS NEO GEO games that reverse the 1 key with the 2 button.
Now, we're lucky that Launchbox separates all the MVS games into one group, so I could try to run only those games with retroarch's CORE OF FINAL BURN , and then assign the precise commands for this core. . 
I created a new platform called "NEOGEO" where the PATH for emulation was retroarch. I assigned -L "cores \ finalburn etc etc"
I selected all the MVS roms from the launchbox, -> Edit -> Emulator. And so I assigned NEOGEO (ie launchbox with finalburn). . 
I do not know why, the games do not start. Double click and nothing starts.
I can not understand where I'm wrong.
The roms are from the 0.195 version of MAME, and finalBurn is the latest version of retroarch1.7.1

Any Help ? 

 

PS. The problem of aspect Ration , is DRIVER DX 11 , 
Work perfect with DX 12 , Vulkan etc.

I found this tool to clean up MAME's romset.
It is written by an Italian, and even if it is dated, it also works perfectly with MAME 0.195

It is very easy to use.
I found a small videoguide (in Italian), I hope it will be useful to someone

 

[Change group : Custom Command Line]

And that's how I did, but maybe later I want to go back to using MAME with all the games instead of using only the selected retroarch core, I can not remember which titles I added the command line, and which ones titles I have not added the command line.
So this becomes a serious problem if I want to return to normal conditions, otherwise I have to watch over 1300 games one by one
On the other hand, with a function such as that for example, selecting a group and then editing (emulator, platform etc) it would be important to add the command line too.

[Change group : Custom Command Line]

Since many games start them with MAME Stand Alone, and others open them with Retroarch + a custom command, would it be possible to select a group of games, make changes, and so change only the command line?

[clean up complete MAME romset in launchbox]

Thank's for info

[clean up complete MAME romset in launchbox]

I have been using a MAME  ROMSET  0.195 a few days ago . 
With much patience, after importing the romset into Launchbox, I deleted all the games that I thought were not necessary to keep .
So I went from about 2800 games to about 1400 games .
The question is : 
Would it be possible now to extract only the roms and romset related to these roms for the proper functioning (including the BIOS) to create a new clean romset and much lighter than 58 Gb?
In other words, erase all the connected roms and romset of the one I did not select ?

ThankYou

Thanks, after public photos.
However, even if you set a corrected aspect ratio of retroarch, in reality this is not saved, and at the next reboot the settings of the correct aspect ratio are maintained in the retroarch

No, no custom aspect. . Sooner or later you will find a solution

[Advanced request, launchbox possibility]

I downloaded the entire ROMSET of MAME 0.195, now I installed LaunchBox on a new PC, and after importing the entire romset with the appropriate filters, now I'm erasing one by one all the ROMS that are not of my interest, so to have a clean romset in launchbox. The work is IMMENSE .

Once this filtering work is complete,
If I wanted to copy this folder of MAME cleaned up on my bartop where I already installed Launchbox with MAME 0.185, and already have all the info, covers, and so on, without having to redo everything back by hand from launchbox, what are the steps what should I do besides copying the folders Images, Video,? Is there any xml file from launchbox folder ?

Works fine with my arcade cabinet controllers. The bartops and the standup. 

No , It works well if we perform the procedure I described in the other, otherwise not all the encoders are recognized with the MAME commands already preconfigured in retroarch .
 

Then you need to configure each game, otherwise it happens that if we move from a NEOGO title to a CAPCOM title, the general configuration is lost. It is therefore preferable to configure each game individually with the TAB in MAME, and then make CORE OVERIDE (Non game overide).

Trust me, I beat my head 2 days to find the solution.

However, I still can not understand if any of you know the solution to ASPECT RATIO

The Mame core saves your controller setups automatically per game just like in regular Mame, using the "Tab" menu. The individual cfgs are saved in

\Retroarch\saves\MAME\mame\cfg

 

......with Xbox or PlayStation controller , not with controller forum bartop

Not using RA for MAME.

 

Cheats don't work and even if you set global inputs in the MAME UI they get reset and don't stick when you launch a new game.

No , inputs work , You must do this:

From launchbox it creates a configuration file, in tools - emulaters - retroarch - (example) Aracde 2 - Arcade -L "cores \ mame_libretro.dll" -c "mame.cfg" .

Now go to random Aracde game in Launchbox  - right click, edit - 

Open Game -  F1 - set DirecX11 or 12 or whatever you want , Full screen etc. 
QUIT (autosave ) 
Open game again . 
F1 - > DIsable AUtoSave , go to INPUTS , set inputs (Up-down Selct= Coin , Start = 1player etc. ) 
Now , F1 Again ,  TAB , SET INPUT FOR THIS GAME (not all game) , set the commands as you wish , TAB, and F1 again , SAVE CORE OVERIDE . 

And now commands work .
