[Zayd47]

Can i use mame that available in retroarch provided?Or should i use the standalone one?

In retroarch if im not mistaken,Mame core has two type on which i do not know what to choose.Hope someone can help me out.

Thank You

You can use either. We typically recommend standalone Mame. RA actually has several Mame cores as some are for older specific Mame rom sets. You are not locked into either option, but the best recommendation is standalone Mame.

Thank You for the explanation brother,In other thing is what's final burn neo?Im sorry for the question.

Final Burn Neo is a continuation of Final Burn Alpha which is an arcade emulator much like Mame. FBN runs better on lower end hardware but it doesn't emulate has many games. The rom sets for FBN are also much smaller downloads.

One more question,I see that FBN seems to play even nes roms?Is it multiple rom even console supported?

FBN also have standalone i see,Should i choose in retroarch better?

It does emulate consoles as well but I would suggest sticking to other emulators such as Mesen for NES.

Got it,I will stick to it but since retroarch have multiple core for those various games,For example i wanted to play fbn game itself should i use retroarch core or standalone fbn?

I would use the RA core, stand alone FBN can be a bit funky to setup and get working properly through a frontend.
