There are a few different version of MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) for Raspberry Pi. This release 2006 MAME 0.160 ROMSet (AdvMAME 1.4) performs better with the Raspberry Pi limited resources.

Proceed to create a application folder, download and install:
sudo mkdir /arcade/advancemame
cd /arcade/advancemame
sudo wget http://sheasilverman.com/rpi/raspbian/pi3/advancemame_1.4-1_armhf_pi3.deb
dpkg -i advancemame_1.4-1_armhf_pi3.deb
To remove all files use dpkg:

A configuration file advmame.rc is placed in the ~/.advance/ directory. The file holds a huge list of default settings. We must edit this file to make everything work.
cd ~/.advance/
vi advmame.rc
Set this defaults for all games:
device_joystick raw
display_color bgr16
misc_smp yes
ui_translucency 1
dir_rom /home/pi/.advance/rom:/usr/local/share/advance/rom:/arcade/roms/mame
Use the START+X to save state from 8Bitdo Controller, mapping to coin4 key (usually unused) and creating an script to save sate on slot 1. Use START+Y to load state from 8Bitdo Controller, mapping to start4 key (usually unused) and creating an script to load state form slot 1.
input_map[coin4] joystick_button[0,3] joystick_button[0,11]
input_map[start4] joystick_button[0,4] joystick_button[0,11]
script_coin4 simulate_event(ui_save_state,100); delay(200); simulate_key(key_1,100);
script_start4 simulate_event(ui_load_state,100); delay(200); simulate_key(key_1,100);
If the Pi is connected to a HDMI TV or monitor add the following to your settings.
device_video_clock 5 – 50 / 15.62 / 50 ; 5 – 50 / 15.73 / 60
For Pi using a HDMI to VGA converter this setting worked well for me.
device_video_clock 5 – 50 / 15.75 / 50
mkdir /arcade/roms/mame
For advmame I had to change a setting in the advmame.rc to help mame recognize the y-axis. Once set up the gamepad has worked with almost everything I have installed (~/.advance/advmame.rc)
device_joystick raw
Configure HDMI TV and 8Bitdo SF30 controllers stored in configuration file ~/.advance/advmame.rc
device_video_clock 5 - 50 / 15.62 / 50 ; 5 - 50 / 15.73 / 60

Some games have different controls from the digital joystick: sliders, pallets, trackball. By default they are emulated by the joystick.
With AdvanceMAME and USB joystick Lioncast Fighting Stick you can not emulate well the dial-type controls, paddle and trackball (eg. In Arkanoid games, Out Run and Lemmings, respectively). When the joystick is recognized as the emulator stick, the input is not usable because it produces a hopping movement and not fluid, rather if it is recognized as a hat is working properly. To see how the joystick is recognized using the tool advj MAME, to switch from one configuration you must reprogram the joypad (see specific paragraph).

This emulator Final Burn Alpha adapted to compile and run in Raspberry Pi2/Pi3 works with ROMS Mame 0.130 (ROMSET).

And when it's all good was a bit fba2x pretty:
cd /arcade/pifba
mkdir /arcade/pifba/.obj
make -f Makefile.PiCPS3 -j4
For CPSII the only game works is of SFIII NOCD version. NOCD version of that is that when you unzip -l made you must have the following file sfiii3_japan_nocd.29f400.u2

Fceux Nintendo Famicom/NES. Ported an optimised version of Fceux. All criteria considered it is currently the best emulator for the system on the Raspberry Pi.
» SDL1 Simple DirectMedia Layer
FCEUX 2.2.1 is a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Famicom, and Famicom Disk System (FDS) emulator. The main goal is vsynced PAL/NTSC video and good sound (but without uber-filters). Get it here:
wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/uu751ibdqmvq0co/fceux.zip
Unpack binary from zip to some folder in your home folder.
Then remove ~/.fceux folder (if you installed fceux already by another way).

To launch fceux you need to provide rom name in command line because there is no GUI.
./fceux <rom file>

To play Super Mario All Stars you need to play first to Mario 2 exit and you can play to all versions.
Picodrive from Notaz is 1.91 Sega MegaDrive/Genesis, SEGA/MEGA CD & 32X. Produced an Optimized version of PicoDrive (from Notaz’s original Code). Mega/Sega CD and 32X Titles all work flawlessly, Fullscreen, even in XWindows! Included in the download are two versions, one for the Pi1 and a Pi2 Binary with further optimizations. All criteria considered it is currently the best emulator for the system on the Raspberry Pi.

Access into the directory where you uncompressed the source code and Type -
./configure --disable-opengl
The “Default” configuration uses Open GL rendering, which DOES NOT work on the RPi! Without this addition it will run, but you will have to add a Boolean expression to turn off Open GL rendering EVERY TIME its run!!!
make
make install (Optional, but useful in this case as running straight from Terminal (Not in X) gives a significant performance increase and negates the need for “CDing” into the folder when you want to use it!)
Exit Terminal Make an appropriately named folder (I called mine dgenroms) and put any ROMS you have in it (NB DECOMPRESSED! See Above!)
