Trying to play MAME stuff crashes RetroArch

Hey, so disclaimer, I’ve used SNES/NES/Genesis emulators forever but I’m pretty unfamiliar with MAME stuff as a whole.

I have the nightly build from May 10th. I’ve tried running MAME roms using the following cores:

[ul] [li]fb_alpha[/li][li]fba_cores_cps1[/li][li]fba_cores_cps2[/li][li]mame[/li][li]mame2010[/li][/ul]

The program crashes in slightly different ways depending on what core I have loaded (the game itself doesn’t seem to make a difference). This is the furthest I get, using the mame core:

If anyone wants more info, lemme know and I’ll try and provide that stuff.

MAME/FBA can be quite picky sometimes. Make sure your roms are matching the current MAME romset (0.161) and see if any of the games require a BIOS file (neogeo.zip for Neo-Geo games for example).

Thanks Oggom, your reply was enough for me to start doing some research, and I figured out what was going on (precisely what you said-- I needed BIOS files).
