LOL, I went insane and upgraded to a 400GB SD Card and Installed (almost) every game from MAME, SNES, Super Famicom, NES, Famicom, PC Engine, Turbografx, >250 PSX games, Gameboy and Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advanced.
To upgrade to a 400GB SD Card, I had to learn how to install a Virtual Machine to get Ubuntu installed to resize the card, which went more smooth than I can believe, but it was worth it. Damn, I am loving the Clockworkpi, especially the native 240p screen, everything looks so sweet, if you look closely it even has scanlines.
How much space of your MSD card did you actually use? And if you have that many games I bet you wish there was a way to search through games much easier, like by letter or something haha
I used it all, I wish there was more space but you can’t readily get anything micro sd card >400Gb, the next step up is 512Gb and that costs a ridiculous amounts of money!!
All the many PSX games took up most of the space and scrolling the games in PSCX is pretty fast so no biggie. Also the “favorites” function for all the other systems is a life saver for scrolling through the games.
I had so many PSX games in there that I left MAME out, I didn’t like that there was no actual way to get names to the MAME zip files easily. Browser through a zillion MAME zip files was extremely stupid. That needs fixing that’s for sure. I will have to be more selective with MAME games I think. I think the OP’s MAME selection is an excellent selection. I might look at some concised pre-made MAME game collection that was made for smaller 4-8Gb SD Cards for the retro-pi, so I don’t have to select the games myself.
Update I made this list of some of the best MAME games for anyone too lazy to do it themselves, its got a good variety of different styles of games. I haven’t tested them all yet, but its a good basis for your personal list.
I will probably start with some PlayStation stuff, I never actually played the Suikoden games so this is going to be my priority. I’ll have Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 and Crash Bandicoot for when I need a break from Suikoden.
Then, will probably go Game Boy Advance with the Advance Wars series.
I’m going to be replaying the Spyro and Crash Bandicoot trilogies, as well as TH Pro Skater 2 from the PS1 - I grew up playing them and would love to play again - I know there’s the remade/remastered versions for consoles, but the originals have their charm.
Otherwise I’m going for the RPGs I always wanted to play: Chrono Trigger (SNES), Secret of Mana (SNES), Vagrant Story (PSX), and Phantasy Star Series (SMG). Hopefully will be receiving my Gameshell early next week and have most of the games lined up and ready to go
